Re: Happy New Year from Essex
I drove VW ID.3 and Tesla Model 3s and went for ID.3 as it better fitted our needs.... Having driven both, what does an ID.3 give you that a Tesla Model 3 does not, except extra money in your pocket? I am interested. It appears money was not a consideration. I would say:- Matrix Headlights Build qu...

Re: My VW order tracker
At pickup I was told two years or 20000 miles, whichever comes sooner. I was also told they're not offering prepaid service offers on ID3s as it's not worth it - they anticipate a service costing about £80 max for most customers. VW charge £80 for a service? This is not the 1980s! :D More like £180...

But retirement age is not 65. It is higher.

Lease costs were, on average, 44 per cent cheaper in May 2018 for Motability customers than in the wider leasing market. Around two fifths of this difference arises from the direct impact of the tax concessions from which the Scheme benefits. Three fifths is generated from factors such as effective ...

Interesting cherry, I Didn't expect to see any movement on Week 49 build cars just yet (5 weeks ago), I thought the factories shut down for 3 weeks over Xmas so I added that onto the already rough calculations and didn't expect anything to happen this month. I'll drop the dealer an email towards th...

If you do not want to shop around Octopus Energy deals are not as high as others.

Fantastic news Cherry. Is car 1 the one you're planning on keeping or the one you're planning on selling on ? (PS I just noticed your signature change that you're picking up on March 1, so sounds like you may be keeping car 1?) The first is for my wife. She has waited long enough. She will keep it,...

Hi everyone, Could it be that our car will not be priorised because It is Motorbility and VW will not make much our of this sale? 🤔 Why do VW make less on Motability sales? I am not sure how it operates. I thought it was the dealers who may make less. If VW make less profit, then if they took their...

Skoda does the user interface so much better
The only significant sticking point is the £1000 deposit for a car we will not get for 12 months. I only had to pay £500 deposit for mine. Ultimately, £1,000 for two! Is it really so much of a sticking point when buying a car claimed to be worth c£35k? If you are worried about a dealer going bust (...

Oh I am currently annoyed at both VW and the dealer I went with. VW are providing no information but my dealer have been blunt and rude when I asked them to chase VW. I did really like the Mokka E, the id3 beat it on the grounds of longevity, plus the price offered made it a tad better value than t...

How to get a deal for an EV Home Charger. My method!
The grant is only for the installation. It seems that effectively what you have done is negotiate with the installer to knock some margin off what they would make from selling the charger. Ohme aren’t selling me the charger, they are selling it to the installer who is then selling it on to me for R...

Re: How to get a deal for an EV Home Charger. My method!
I'm going to gloss over Cherry's usual claptrap, personal attacks, nonsense and baseless accusations whenever he's being disagreed with, and focus on this nugget: If the installer supplies an eligible home charger then you can get the full £350 grant. But, if you supply it then you may not get the ...
