I know this is a bit early ( for me anyhow) as my motability contract has 15 months left to run -but all the current talk in the media regarding diesel taxes and extra charges has got me thinking what to do next - and there are bound to be peeps on here thinking about it as well
I currently have a 2.0L diesel which at current rates would have completed 18000 miles by contract end - i live just over 2 miles from.the start of the london LEZ and although i have only been in it twice in the last 18 monthsv - there is talk of extending it - so i am assuming it will hit our area sometime.
So options
Would you
Buy the car at the end of the 3 years and live with the fact its a euro6 2l diesel
Buy another car - petrol using the same amount as quoted by motability to purchase the 2l diesel kuga.
Hand it back - do nothing leave it to someone else and move on to the next one - makung sure you get a petrol and look at the option to buy in 3 years time
Ignore the fact its motability and consider it as a PCP type deal.
Think the goverment needs to start making things a lot clearer on the plans otherwise there will be millions of unwanted diesels in about 15 months time and i suspect that car manufacturers will be up in arms as the PCP market dries as people can.no.longer afford to buy cars and the exit costs are too high
Discussions ( i am sure there are more knowlegeable members than me )
