I had a mobility car for a couple of years when my 10 year old son was in a wheel chair for 14 months then while he recovered.Absolute godsend but the times ignorant twats parked in disabled bays lead to two fairly heated arguments.

As for extras you pay extra on your original deposit,some makes might have good offers on,just depends whats about at the time.

So there i was healthy thankfully with a mobilty car so yes it does happen.

Obviously my son has improved but still has to wear splints but i dont claim for him anymore.he is well enough most of the time although next week im up to the Hospital once again and he will be in plaster for 2 months before another op.He is a real fighter.

Don't what happened to the first post.

My wife has a mobility car and usesa boot scooter. If there are no disabled bays near the shops that is not a problem as can use the scooter. The big problem there is unless I can find a bay on the end of the lineshe has dificulty getting out of the car with such a small gap.Like some has also said I have to get the car out for he rsome people do get annoyed.

Regarding the mobility scheme you can have what you want and spec.You just have   to pay more deposit to make up the difference .That includes some automatics.

I don't know the ins and outs of the system & was wondering how it worked.

I bought an ex-mobility scheme vehicle(Nissan Note)and went to DVLA to change tax over.

What I don't understand is why all the mobility vehicles have all the expensive extra options. My car is fully loaded - upgraded paintwork, driving lights, tinted windows, top of the range music/sat nav system, alloy wheels etc.
Do you pay towards the extras or is it all paid for by the scheme?

I do understand that some of the car models with larger engines etc. come with some of it as standard but in the case of my car most of it was extra.
