www.wewanttobuyyourcar.co.uk goes LIVE

November 11, 2024

This week  (11 /11/ 2024 ) Perkins Nearly New Ford and MG Centre put our car buying website live online  to our local , loyal and valued community with that usual Perkins twist that makes us different to the rest.

We understand the changes in the UK and local market place over the last few years when it comes to you selling your car rather than part exchanging with a dealer. 

There is confusion as to the best way for you to go that's for sure. This comes about because of the difference in prices quoted with the " we buy any car / Motorway / Car Wow " to name just 3 and the different ways that those 3 go about their business. Do you take your car to them ? Do they give the price the internet / website  quoted ? Does another random dealer come to your house and take the car way with no hassle, no stress, no negotiations ? 

What else can you do ? Advertise  your car for private sale on Autotrader, Motors, HeyCar , Piston Heads, Car Gurus etc etc ? As an example for you, vehicle aggregator website,  Autotrader take 85% of their revenue from Car Dealers . So is your private advert going to get seen ? Is it worth the £70 for 2 weeks advertising to put your car into a highly competitive market place up against other dealers offering part exchange , finance facilities, extended warranties ?

So here is an alternative for you . Visit www. we want to buy your car .co.uk and type in your registration number and mileage of your car . Enter your contact details, and we will contact you back by telephone ( you know, that old fashioned thing that gets things done ) and make a convenient arrangement / appointment to come to view your car / Van / Motorbike / Motorhome to suit you . We have 3 professional, full time , car and van experts that are all over the county of Essex, valuing and buying cars Monday to Friday. We can come to your home or workplace at an a agreed time, inpsect your vehicle and pay into your account on the same day. We clear outstanding finance if required for you, without all the normal hassle and release your funds towards, well,  what ever you wish to spend it on .

Visit us today www.wewanttobuyyourcar.co.uk today and sell your car. We operate within a 20 mile radius of Braintree which covers a large part  of Essex.

PHEV MHEV Hybrid cars for sale - Test drive Essex

October 4, 2024

You might have heard of Mild hybrids or seen MHEV and PHEV  written on car descriptions on used car adverts but maybe you are not quite sure what it is. Well, here we go.

A mild hybrid car ( MHEV) works pretty much just like and normal car,with the difference being that a  small battery is added to the existing engine in order to boost the efficiency of the engine and most importantly, reduce the emissions.  This tends to operate by allowing the engine to cut its power when coming to a stop, allowing a start/stop system to keep the engine off for longer and offer an electric boost on acceleration. It does not feel any different to a normal petrol/ diesel engine other than you have the knowledge and evidence that your fuel econmoy has ot better  and your carbon footprint whilst driving is lower than a more standard non hybrid petrol or diesel engined car. You dont have to worry about charging the cars battery as all MHEV's are self charging.

PHEV's are a again slightly different. PHEV (Plug in Electric vehicle ) cars are  FULL HYBRID in operation. With a bigger battery on board , these cars can drive full electric for 35-40 miles as well as taking over from the engine on normal driving. So, you plug in , charge up ( 3.5 hours on a 7.5Kw charge point of 5-6 hours from a normal plug point in the garage) and you can either drive full electric , fully petrol / diesel or the mix of both. Now this is the good bit.....faster charging than a full EV and massive improvements on fuel economy ( 120mpg Combined on the Ford Kuga PHEV) and ABSOLUTELY NO RANGE ANXIETY as when the electric runs out ( which it hardly ever does) you just drive that car like a normal petrol car again until you can plug it back in.

We have MG HS PHEV and FORD KUGA PHEV in stock and available for you, our customers, to test drive and see and feel the difference in these new technologies that eventually we will all have to embrace as we go forward. 

Look forward to seeing you at the dealeship again soon
