Re: car buying conundrum
I contacted motability about our Octavia, due to be returned in a couple of months.
Not quite 3 yrs old and 35k miles. Non negotiable price of £10950...………. ouch. I was expecting around £7-8k.
Need to go to the auction and see if I can get it for that ! Other option is to just have a new one, but they are now asking for a £2k upfront payment, whereas the last was £600.
So.……… do I spend the mobility component on a motability vehicle, or buy 2 or 3 sh1tters a year as and when they break down? Good affordable 2nd hand cars are hard to come by due to the various scrappage schemes.
