Mobility Cars

[malagabob]

There is a person in my street I guess that is claiming cars on mobility scheme . This person has a new car every year.
I was under the impression a new car was allowed every 3 years . Am I right or wrong

[whistonian]

My neighbour gets his renewed every 3 years.

[paddywak]

Yes, the scheme gives you a new car on a three year lease. If he's getting one every year I doubt if it will be under Motobbility what ever he claims.

[hc4361]

What makes you think he is claiming Motability?

[whistonian]

All the facts.

Could he be on a company car scheme or leasing arrangement instead?

[hc4361]

Or he could buy them.

[tonyav]

Loses a lot of money if that is what he does, hc4361.

[Sparkles62]

Maybe he works for, or is related to someone who works in the car industry.
OH and one of my brothers, work for Vauxhalls, the car scheme there is available to family members aswell as workers, and you get a new car every 9 months.

[hc4361]

Depends on the car, Tony. Most motobility cars use all of the allowance of £2873 per year.
Some cars don't lose much more than that if part exchanged for a new one at 12 months.

'I guess that is claiming cars'

So really you have no idea at all then!

[tonyav]

Thats true hc4361, smaller cars tend to devalue less.

[BRIGHT SPARK]

I bet they're drug dealers...or porn stars.

[slinky.kate]

just waiting to get my new car next month,its every 3 years.and they are getting stricter with the cars,

We have a motability car and you keep it 3 years no exchange unless the original car developed a major fault or was written off in an accident. This person is not on motability probably just rich and stupid.
