Could it be a Motability thing?  :-\
Motability gets you a car. Yes?
I was thinking of the age of the car. In other words, does a Motability car need to be new / nearly new? Not a banger.

Motability "can" be a major rip-off ... friend of ours went for a motability car, paid over £6000 in "extras" ... hoist for wheel chair, something fancy with the seat rails to make access easier, and a few other things .... 3 months after delivery he had a stroke and died .....  motability simply took the car off his wife .... no ifs or buts .. "no longer entitled" .. and no refund of the extras ... they took it back and sent it somewhere for auction and wouldn't even tell her where ... so she lost a LOT of money ........  bloody rip-off if you ask me

Hmm I've got a knackered hip and I'm sure I'd find it easier getting in and out of a Range Rover.  ::)

Maybe I'll apply!  :)

SWMBO has upper leg/buttock issues, due in part to deep radiotherapy for cancer about ten years ago. She finds it difficult to climb in and out of our granddaughters Qashqai. The running boards compound the problem too. Thankfully she manages to "fall" into the Vectra quite well.  ;D

It needs a new clutch though.

£570 tax for the RR but at least the air suspension makes the odd pothole bearable 😆

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level & beat you with their experience.

Doesn't seem quite so bad when you put it like that.   :D
