Hi Lee, just found your channel and the reason I clicked to watch was I used to be a Motability customer myself, sadly a few years ago my review for PIP (when it switched from DLA) was botched and I was downgraded, so halfway through my 3 year lease on a VW Golf, I was forced to give my vehicle up. I did appeal and I won my case, but having purchased a second hand car while appealing my claim, I decided not to go back on the Motability scheme. I now own a beautiful Lexus SL430 (which I actually bought from Matt of High Peaks Autos having seen it on his youtube channel) The only thing I DO miss is the excitment of going and picking up a brand new car every three years, which is why I watched yours, I have now subscribed to your channel and look forward to more of your great content. All the very best to you from Nick in Wolsingham. Happy Driving...
Thank you so much 🙏🏻! I'm glad you enjoy the content... Loads more car content on the way. Mate I'm so sorry that happened 😞... Happy it did get sorted eventually! I have a friend who is eligible for motability but still sorts cars out on own, cos he loves older cars. Old school lexus is something I've thought about getting before as a bit of a project for the channel. (Maybe if I get enough subscribers 😉) I might do it in the future.
@@nateg5767 Hello Nate, no, they downgraded me because the company the DWP were using to assess people at that time, were paid more if they downgraded disabled people, they did not have to pay back their bonuses when those disabled people won their appeals, shocking really.

Just got my phone call saying my car has arrived in the country 🎉🎉 you helped me discover this scheme and im grateful to you for that!! Keep doing what you are doing man best wishes to you and your journey with this car!
Amazing bro! I'm so happy that I helped, and that you like what I do. It's one of the best feeling when you know you're car is here and almost yours 😁😉. Enjoy your new car also!
Congratulations mate. Looking forward to the review. I ordered the Sportage a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully pass my test before the wheels arrive (booked for 17th July). If not then all good for free practice 😉. All the best fella. Keep up the good work 👏
Thank you! I loved both my Leon's and would have had another one, if they were on the scheme when I had to get a new car. They are back on now! So I'm going to go have a look at them soon.
I think the motorbillty sceam is brilliant Lee, it's made my life a lot better, sorry about my spelling Lee mate, you are an inspiration to me keep it up mate 👍
Congratulations! I looked at the Ford Focus, it was soooo comfy that I didn't want to get out! 😂 But not many add-ons. The MG4 offers a lot - everything really - but I can't charge from home (no drive) so it's put me off as I don't go out a lot anyway. Also, the dealer can't collect for services. I'm tempted by the Kia Sportage or Stonic now, especially the Sportage as it offers all the bells and whistles! Due to order in a few days...
Thank you! I'm loving it! I will be doing a review vlog asap. No the add ons and cost of them are a definite minus for ford I can't lie. I might be wrong but, I don't think any dealership does the pick up and drop off for services anymore. I have to say I've never really looked at the new MGs, the style and look doesn't really hook me in... I did like the MG ZR when I first passed my test, wanted it for my first car but as soon as I did pass, they went bust! 😂😂😂
I ordered my first ever Motability car on Monday. I narrowed it down to either the Vauxhall Mokka or the Ford Puma. In the end I decided to go for the Mokka. I love the 'Stormtrooper' look of the Mokka over the Puma and the fact the Puma has no rear camera as standard was a big negative for me. As a bonus the top of the range Mokka is currently on the scheme with no advance payment and comes with all the bells and whistles and a very nice interior finish which just looks that little bit better than the Puma for me personally. I do like the Puma and to be honest had it had a few more features my final decision would have been more difficult
I agree 💯 the puma and ford in general I think should have loads more features as standard! It is quite annoying. I'm glad you're loving your new car! It's one of life's few pleasures that still remain.
Recognise that showroom! Pleasantly surprised that BB spaces were empty! I'd have ordered a Puma there had I been provided with up to date advice on scooter hoists! Going with a Skoda Kamiq from Harlow's Marshalls. Will miss Lookers Ford Chelmsford though. Lee - you still don't recognise the scheme as Motability. If users' don't what hope the general public.
I have to be honest I was pleasantly surprised the bays were free too. It's my first time using lookers here but it's nice to be closer to a dealership for services and MOTs. I'm pretty sure I do say the scheme is called motability in the vlog... The only times I don't is when I'm making fun of the fact I myself say it wrong multiple times in previous vlogs 😂 (which annoys me when I edit)
@@JustRollinThruLife I've battled with the BB spaces there (and their previous sites) for 15+ years ... Enjoy your new car. I've kept 3 cars, each for 5 years, because I hate the hunt to find a replacement.
Idk if you know this, in the boot you can change the level so in the video it’s on the high level and if you push them black things that hold the floor up it can go lower . Iv got a puma to, best this car
Hi lee and camera mum, hope your both well, love your car great choice, do you find it has more room in it than the seat ? Look forward to your review on the puma... Take care best wishes Andy from sunny Scotland lol xx
Hey Andy, Thank you! I love it. It's similar to the seat but does have some hidden space that comes in very handy. I'm hoping to film the review vlog next week all being well!
Hi Lee, hope you don't mind me asking, how long did you wait for your vehicle from the date of applying for it? I've been looking into Motability for a while and not one person so far has mentioned the wait time they've experienced, thank you for posting useful videos like this!
So the wait time varies it used to be around 3 months but ever since the pandemic no dealership gives you a fixed timeframe. I was lucky I was expecting to wait around 6 months and got it around 3 months. Different dealerships/manufacturers give you different wait times to and I also believe it depends on what spec of the car you want. I'm glad you enjoy and find it helpful I'll be filming more content like this in a couple weeks and throughout the year.
I'm lookin for 1st mobility car for my partner . I find it annoying that on there websites they never give you the amount for new car payment but quick enough to advertise £750 help . only show you advance payment . All new to me . Process could be a lot easier to do online .
@Lee Jeffrey the puma also! So as you have yours I'm hoping I won't be too far behind. I got the vignale in white... also didn't pay for the reversing camera.. crazy money! Just got to pass my test now and will finally have some freedom! Any cool features you are loving so far?
Awesome! You won't be disappointed. Crazy money indeed for some that does come standard with a lot of manufacturers. 🤞🏻 It'll be here soooon. You'll get there no problems and have all the freedom!
Hi lee, I am receiving PIP, and wondering if there are any accessories I can get for my car ? I see you using a a steering wheel handle... How/where can I get these things ?
So if you're going through the motability scheme, the dealership will have contacts of companies, who fit whatever adaptions you need. They will be done before you collect your car. Depending on what you need you may have to pay for certain adaptions
I'll be answering these/showing this kind of thing in the review vlog. I need to get a feel for and drive it longer, to get a good answer on the fuel consumption. 😁😉 But again I promise that I will answer that.
Hi Mr Jeffery my names James Tedesco I to am disabled and I would like to ask you a few questions about motability or should I say dealers. Also I would like to ask you about disabled parking in England vs Scotland. Firstly how long did you have to wait for your new Car I ordered a skoda in April 23 and I'm still waiting so how long did you wait. Do you find in England people abuse disabled spaces with no badge. I have taken to asking them if they know there parked in a disabled space I usually get abuse for asking able bodied people that. Any way great content I enjoyed your video ordering car. Please don't feel obliged to answer questions as one disabled person to another I'm just curious
Hey James nice to have you here on the channel, thank you for supporting 🙏🏻. I actually didn't have too weight as long as I expected, I was told I could be waiting as long as you have been or longer, so I was truly surprised when I'd only waited something like 2/3 months. I think different manufacturers are having so many problems that they don't know a wait time to give. It's bad but I do think non disabled people do use disabled bays everywhere because of a lack of understanding and ignorance... Some straight don't care that's try too. Also I will say this sometimes with everything we have to do just to get in and out, if in a rush I can forget to put it up 😂 my bad 😔.

Like the new wheels I’ve just found your channel as I’m currently looking for a mobility car for my Mum. I’d be the driver. We’re looking at a few cars so look forward to the full review. I also like the Skoda karoq. Do you happen to know how long the process takes. Once we’ve decided which car to go with? Thanks and happy driving.
Hey thank you! I'm glad you like and are enjoying the channel... The full review is coming asap... Should have been this week but had some technical difficulties 😂. It's hard to say how long the process will take nowadays because of supply issues and depending on the manufacturer... The dealerships would be able to give you the best answer. But in the last couple years I think it been between 2 to 8 months and sometimes longer 😳
@@JustRollinThruLife thanks pal I rang Skoda this morning and it’s 4 months for the Karoq 8 months if you want automatic which I’d need so I’ll be looking at alternatives I think. An great I’ll keep an eye out for that video.
