Now just to highlight a few things:

  • Social return on investment ratios was positive for funder and consumer investment in all five scenarios.
  • Social return on investment calculations based on co-investment ranged from $17.32 for every $1 invested to $2.78 for every $1 invested
  • Consumers’ payback periods were between 5.4 and 7.1 months and funders between 3.5 weeks and 2 years 8.4 months

This means that given the short payback periods, funders should reconsider age restrictions on vehicles considered suitable for modifications, especially for low- to medium-cost modifications.
