7 speed version please.

A DQ200 when they are FWD's.

Those with AWD got DQ381's.

Thanks for that, yes Fwd.

 

No service interval??

 

Oh boy it sure seemed to have a lot of issues, hope it's been sorted now.

Fingers crossed.

Pretty much sorted from 2018.  Apart from the few here and there we hear about and the ones we never will, but that is just Skoda / VW and over a decade to get them sorted and still things can go wrong.

 

But then 2018 was 5 years ago now so we will see if any issues with them.

But if you have this as a keeper best maybe have a warranty that covers the DSG that goes beyond the manufacturers one.

I'll be buying new and only keeping for 3 years, so I ought to be ok.

I would buy the extended warranty for 4 or 5 years just in case your circumstance change.

DSG Clutch Packs are covered under the warranty, but really that is not the common issue.

I might if buying as a purchase, it would be a Motability vehicle.

So you are not buying it Motability are.

No worries then about the DSG or anything else.

 

My Corsa Electric goes back in August and it has been a right lemon, the worst of i think 13 cars from motability.

The last 3 weeks off the road was an auto gearbox fault and it does not even have an Auto box as such.

(I got loss of use payment from Motability.)

 

I was looking at a Kamiq 1.5 TSI ACT / DSG if not going PHEV, but have decided not to spend £11,000 over 3 years leasing from Motability again.

Even though i get £750 towards the next cars Advance payment.)

Fair enough, it fits my needs though, and with GCB & £750 next car advance, it just slides into my self imposed £1k limit (I refuse to spend anymore on something I don't get to keep)

@tgoDid you get your good condition payment early last year?

I did and am not expecting any more after hand over.

 EDIT.

Just checked what they said, £350 2022 and £250 at hand back. 

PS. I see i got the £350 1st November. 

Edited 19 May, 20233 yr by toot

Correct, they paid part up front, with the remainder at changeover, although going forward, anything new will be £250 only (like it used to be)

@tgoNovember 2019 i got £600 at handback.

When i bought a used car using 4 years HP from Motability i never had to pay the final year because that was them stopping doing that.

Back in 2003 i bought a new Jimny with the 5 years HP you could get and got a good deal on it and kept it for 17 years.
