The motobility scheme does not provide a free car. Motobility allows you to lease/hire a vehicle, by spending your disability allowance. If you don't want the car, you still get the allowance.

My mum's got one and it's not a stupid deal, something like £300/month IIRC which is in the same ballpark as buying on HP except they replace the car every few years and provide insurance, servicing, etc.

Yes, but putting it like that wouldn't stir up much debate. I'm misinformed by having half read some outraged Express/Mail articles.

You said "new" car in your OP. Make your mind up. Also, why do you need a motobility car ?

State providing a free car is a completely different thread and i can contribute to how its being exploited by spongers.

Its a fecking second hand Zafira costing 1K and you are kicking a fuss about it ?

It's breaking my heart spending a full 1K, I've got a perfectly good Vectra that would do the job for years yet but my Mrs is insisting she can't get 3 kids in it despite me demonstrating she can on numerous occasions.

It's 'new' to me, you wouldnt say 'Im getting an old car tomorrow'.

Its just a normal car, no mods, its a Zafira for the wife and kids.

Yep. Country is going to the dogs indeed, useless feckers everywhere.

Agreed, its what permanent employment does to people.

It's a case of highly paid IT consultant is buying a second hand ex motobility car that the state has kindly provided for 3 years to somebody who doesn't work ( and is now giving them a new one ). Apparently they can't tax it online in that scenario, I believe him because he hasn't got my money yet. It was also me who faffed about and only just sent him the insurance details.

He left it to the last second to tax it. Sack him.
