Answer 2

There are various manufacturers which operate Motability schemes, for example Vauxhall and Renault, and the vehicles are returned to them at the end of the contract period. So, check with the individual companies.

I seem to remember an answer in the Daily Telegraph 'Honest John' pages (check it online) about this. If my memory is correct, the vehicles tend to be put through particular auctions.

If I may ask you something - why do you especially want an ex-motability car? You may find that the car supermarkets such as Trade Sales, Motorpoint etc have deals on new/almost new/recent used cars which are possibly as good or even better than ex-motability cars. Ex-motability cars are usually much sought-after, and this inflates prices to an unrealistic level.

If you did find a particularly good deal with one of these outlets, it is always worth approaching your local dealer to see if they can match or even beat it.

I hope this helps.

Answer 3

If the users don't buy them at the end of the lease they go back to the Motability garage that's supplying the next car or to Motability to be auctioned later.

Have a chat with a local dealer who supplies Motability scheme cars - Vauxhall and Honda seem very popular. Ask them to phone you when something suitable comes in.

Cheers

Answer 4

Motability Car Auctions

Answer 5

Although we don't live in your area we found a regular garage that was selling a second hand motability car and got it for our disabled daughter. When we were interested in it we did not initially know that it was a mobility car, but were happy to go for it as it was in such good shape, so you could check out a few local garages?

Answer 6

A lot of ex-Motability cars are auctioned through BCA.
You could go to one of their regular Motability auctions in Birmingham (see http://www.british-car-auctions.co.uk/Default.aspx?page=55 )

Or you could find a local trader who buys from these auctions (they'll be the ones with lots of automatics in their ads in your local paper), and buy through them.

an automatic motability car hmm? Did you just step off of the starship enterprise or what. Last I knew it was just called a car and motability isn't even a word.

Answer 8

Call any large garage; if they dont do the Mobility scheme, they will be able to tell you who can.

Answer 9

Try any Vauxhaul dealership

Answer 10

go to a garage.
