The Benefits of Buying a Used Car
Let's be honest - buying used is one of the smartest financial decisions you can make. Here's why so many of our customers choose Essex used cars from LMC over brand new models:
Massive Savings
New cars lose thousands in value the moment you drive them off the forecourt. With a quality used car, someone else has taken that initial hit, meaning you get much more car for your money. Why pay £30,000 for a new car when you can get the same model, just a year or two old, for £20,000?
Lower Insurance Costs
Used cars typically cost much less to insure than their brand-new equivalents. Lower value means lower insurance premiums for drivers - it's that simple. Plus, many used cars fall into lower insurance groups, saving you even more money.
Avoid Depreciation Worry
The steepest depreciation has already happened, so your used car will hold its value much better than a new one. Some well-chosen used cars can even appreciate in value over time!
Full Service History Available
With a quality used car from LMC, you'll know exactly how the vehicle has been maintained. We provide full service histories where available, so there are no nasty surprises.
Immediate Availability
Want to drive away today? With used cars, there's no waiting around for factory delivery or specific colour orders. If you like it and it's ready, you can take it home today!
More Choice for Your Budget
Your £15,000 budget might get you a basic new car, but it could get you a top-spec luxury car that's just a few years old. Used cars give you access to features and quality that would be unaffordable when new.
Essex Used Cars for Sale - Our Process
Every single used car we sell here at the London Motor Company goes through our thorough 75-point check inspection process before it hits our forecourt. We check everything - mechanically, electrically, and cosmetically. If we wouldn't sell it to our own family, we won't sell it to you. It's that simple.

Preparation & Presentation
Every car gets a full preparation before collection. This includes a 6-month MOT if needed, service if required, professional valet inside and out, and a proper handover where we'll show you everything you need to know about your new car.
Delivery Options
If you can't pick up your car from us, that's no problem! We offer nationwide delivery on all vehicles - professional, insured transport that works around your schedule. Many of our customers prefer the convenience of having their car delivered to their home or workplace.
Part Exchange
If you've got a car to trade in, then we'll give you a fair, honest part-exchange valuation that you can put straight towards your new purchase. This saves you time wasting time with private buyers or payment worries. Just simple, straightforward dealing.
