Used cars in Essex

Containing almost two million people and just outside the top ten of England's 48 counties in terms of size, Essex is not only well populated it's also comparatively large with plenty of urban areas.
Potential car buyers are spoilt for choice in Essex. Those looking for the quickest possible purchase, and hoping to avoid London, should visit the area in the county's South East. Basildon, Rayleigh, Canvey Island and Southend-on-Sea all have a healthy number of dealerships. There's Quirks Car Company in North Benfleet just off the A127, Station Garage in South Benfleet (just outside Canvey), Nissan Toomey on the way to Southend and that's as far south east as you'll need to go to find a good choice.
Head north up to Chelmsford and there are ten to fifteen dealerships dotted around the town - look out for Moulsham Motor Company, Preston's Garage and Lookers Ford. Colchester on Essex's north east country border is equally well served by The Fiesta Centre - which really does what it says on the tin - BKT Motors and Underwoods Vauxhall.
If you'd like to take advantage of a dealership network in Essex, you'll be well advised to speak to The Toomey Motor Group who've been serving the county since 1932 and currently have 15 sites across Essex.
Across Essex there's a choice for every pocket and, apart from south east coast, a dealership never further than ten to twenty miles away.

AA Cars have 8,546 used cars listed in Essex, 1,478 used cars are listed with approved franchised dealerships. 28% of second hand cars in Essex are priced over the national average. This indicates there might be room for negotiation on any deal.
