Since Robin retired as a headteacher, he and his wife Amy have been afforded more time to spend with their family – the grandchildren taking center stage, of course! Alongside these precious visits, trivial journeys such as hospital appointments make it increasingly important to travel comfortably.
Conscious about their carbon footprint, they knew from the outset that they wanted an all-electric SUV as their next car. And after doing their homework, they decided that the Changan Deepal S07 met all their requirements.
But instead of going through a dealer, they heard that Motorfinity provide huge discounts on brand-new cars for eligible frontline workers.
Amy approached Motorfinity with their desired car model in mind and was quickly informed that they could save over £11,000 on a brand new Changan Deepal S07. This impressive discount proved to be life-changing, as it made the dream of purchasing a new car a reality!
Read Robin & Amy’s customer story to find out more about Robin’s backstory as a headteacher, what they love most about their new car, and their outstanding customer experience with Motorfinity.
Robin
Retired Headteacher
With the initial plan of becoming a lecturer, Robin took a unique path into teaching that seemed fated.
Whilst undergoing his PhD, he took a part-time teaching role at a school in Streatham to support financing his studies. He never looked back. Within a term, he was made Deputy Head of English. This fast tracked his learning experience as a teacher and went on to work for several schools, becoming Head of English, a Senior Teacher, and Deputy Head over the following 5 years.
Finally, his hard work and natural ability as a teacher paved the way to becoming a Headteacher at a school in Hackney, where he oversaw 2,000 students, 150 teachers, and a budget of £3 million.
His dedication to education went further still, somehow finding the time to publish three children’s novels: ‘The Ice Warrior and Other Stories’, ‘The Fight of Neither Century and Other Stories’, and ‘Shadows in the Pit’.
Above all though, Robin took most joy in teaching his pupils and experiencing them develop during their time with him.
Motorfinity thanks Robin for his service to education and are proud to provide a heavily discounted brand-new Changan Deepal S07 as a token of our appreciation!
“We absolutely love our Changan. It would have been good value for money at £40,000 but we’re incredibly grateful that Motorfinity were able to save us over £11,000 off the retail price.”
Robin & Amy's highlight experiences with Motorfinity
Made huge savings
Saved over £11,000 on a brand-new all-electric SUV
Able to afford a brand-new car
Exclusive discount allowed Robin & Amy to afford a new car rather than a second-hand option.
Cheaper fuel costs
Charging an EV has cost far less than fuelling their previous diesel car.
Enjoy great tech as standard
Frequently use tech such as 360 degree camera which has significantly improved driving experience.
Outstanding customer service experience
Communication was clear and consistent from initial enquiry through to post-delivery.
Made purchasing a brand-new car an affordable option
Given their budget, Robin and Amy were initially considering purchasing a used EV as their next car.
And while this would generally be considered a sensible approach in terms of affordability, they soon realised that Motorfinity made it financially possible to buy a brand-new Changan Deepal S07.
Once Robin reached out to our friendly team and enquired, he was met with the incredible news that he was eligible for a discount of over £11,000. This changed their plans altogether, as purchasing a brand-new car for an affordable price side-stepped any potential risks a second-hand one could present.
“We chose Motorfinity as we otherwise wouldn’t have been able to buy a new car. We otherwise would have gotten a secondhand one. The deals were so incredible, especially when I saw the Changan.”
Successfully switched to an electric vehicle
Prior to contacting Motorfinity, Robin and Amy knew from the outset that they wanted an electric vehicle as their next car.
Inspired by the aim of reducing their carbon footprint, they conducted their own research into EVs to determine which one would suit their lifestyle requirements – and at the right price.
Since making the switch to an EV, they haven’t looked back as they’ve been able to enjoy:
- A comfortable motoring experience
- Significantly cheaper fuel costs
- Long range capability
“We knew we wanted an electric car as we wanted to do our bit for the environment. It’s so smooth and quiet to drive – it glides! Being able to charge overnight is also great as it works out far less than paying £188 in diesel. The official range states 295 miles per charge. We’ve currently got 53% left and I’ve done 153 miles. So Changan’s range claims are very accurate! Electric is certainly the way to go.”
Experienced great value for money
Robin and Amy were left mightily impressed by the value for money they experienced with their brand-new all-electric SUV – and this went beyond their discount.
The Changan Deepal S07 is packed with an outstanding selection of tech as standard, which they have used to their full advantage. In particular, the 360-degree camera has proved to be a particular show-stopping feature.
“The 360-degree camera is essential to us as it makes life so much easier when I’m pulling out of the drive. It’s absolutely unbelievable. I’ll never have another car without one, ever! We looked at other cars and these gadgets cost extra. With the Changan, we were impressed that this tech came as standard.”

Quite often, when a company has your money, they don’t care about giving you good customer service. At Motorfinity, we’ve received a high level of support throughout the process.”
