How to Buy Your Used Van from LMC Cars

Buying a used commercial vehicle in Essex from LMC Cars couldn't be simpler. Here's exactly how we do things:

Step 2: View & Test Drive
Come down to our Upminster showroom for a proper look at our vans in person. We'll show you everything - load area, driving position, service history. Take the vehicle for a test drive to make sure it feels right for your needs.

Step 3: Finance & Part Exchange
If you need finance for your van, we'll discuss your options and get you sorted with competitive rates. Have you got a van to trade in? We'll give you a fair part exchange valuation that comes straight off the price of your new purchase.

Step 4: Paperwork & Preparation
We handle all the boring stuff - V5 registration, insurance transfer assistance, MOT if needed, and professional preparation, including full valet and safety checks.

Step 5: Collection or Delivery
Collect your van from our showroom, or we'll deliver the vehicle to you directly (subject to terms and conditions). You can expect a full handover included - we'll show you everything you need to know about your new van.

Step 6: Ongoing Support
Once you own the van, our support doesn't stop there. If you need servicing, MOT, or repairs, then we're here for the long haul.

Finance Options for Your Used Vans

If you need help spreading the cost of your new-to-you van, then we can help with that, too. We work with trusted finance partners who understand commercial vehicle purchases. Here are your main options:

Hire Purchase (HP)

Hire Purchase van finance is the most straightforward option - you pay a deposit, then fixed monthly payments until you own the van outright. HP is ideal if you want to own your commercial vehicle from day one with no mileage restrictions or wear and tear charges.

Personal Contract Purchase (PCP)

Personal Contract Purchase van finance generally offers lower monthly payments than HP because you're only paying for the van's depreciation. At the end of the agreement, you can choose to hand it back, part-exchange it for something newer, or make a final payment to keep the vehicle.

Bad Credit Finance

Have you had some financial bumps in the past? Don't worry - we work with specialist lenders who consider each application individually and can provide van finance even with a bad credit history. If your business needs transport, then we'll work hard to find a solution that fits.

Warranty Protection for Used Vans

Every used van for sale at the London Motor Company comes with warranty options designed specifically for commercial vehicles:

Standard 3-Month Warranty

All our used vans come with a minimum 3-month mechanical warranty covering major components like engine, gearbox, differential, and electrical systems. Perfect peace of mind for immediate protection.

Extended Warranty Options

Should you wish to protect your van for longer, then we also offer extended warranty options from 12 months to 24 months. All of our warranties are backed by established warranty companies with nationwide networks of approved repairers. This means you can get your van fixed anywhere in the UK and we'll sort out the paperwork.
