Hi,
Was looking into getting a car in the future through motability.
I am in a wheelchair and single and therefore need a drive from wheelchair accessible vehicle.
The advanced payment is c £12k, counts me out! I know you can get nearly new ones and they do operate a grant system but if these fail , is there anyway around it?
Thanks
Hya, Sorry I don’t know… but suggest you post on EL as bigger group so more chance of getting someone who does know.
Good luck with it hon,

Hi, i would like a drive from wheelie car…but cant afford one.
I know the conversion costs are astronomical. About 15k, ive heard! There are grants towards this, but even so, I reckon youd need a lot of dosh up front.
But I often look at used ones. I see some are around 6k, for a good low mileage, already converted car.
Have a look at the various web sites and see what you can find.
Good luck.
