Nearly New Ford Stock Offers Smart Savings Compared to Brand New

Nearly New Ford Stock Offers Smart Savings Compared to Brand New

As the new car market faces supply delays, rising costs and stretched lead times, savvy buyers are increasingly switching focus to nearly new stock. Perkins Garages, the Ford and MG dealer in Braintree, is capitalising on this shift by offering an attractive selection of nearly new Ford models with immediate availability — and huge savings compared with ordering a brand new vehicle.

Why Nearly New Beats New in Today’s Market

With global supply chain challenges still affecting delivery times for new cars, the ability to pick up a vehicle “off the shelf” is becoming rare. Many customers ordering new suffer waiting periods of months or, in some cases, over a year. In contrast, Perkins Garages advertises around 100 used and nearly new vehicles in stock at any time, all ready for instant collection or click-and-reserve. perkinsfordservice.co.uk+1

That stock includes late-registration models with extremely low mileage, often still carrying substantial factory or OEM warranty cover. Such nearly new Ford models typically incur much of their initial depreciation from “day one,” allowing purchasers to benefit from the lion’s share of a new car’s features — but at a reduced price.

Because of lower demand for new build slots and fluctuations in incentives, the saving on a nearly new model can sometimes be tens of percent below list new price, while offering many of the same features and less uncertainty.

Highlights from the Current Stock

Here are three standout nearly new Ford models currently available from Perkins — all with full specifications, warranty, and ready for immediate delivery:

Ford Explorer 2024 (74) 250 kW Premium 79 kWh AWD 5-dr Auto – Priced at £36,990, this electric SUV offers all-wheel drive, a panoramic roof, heat pump for cold weather efficiency, and over 300 miles of range. It carries full Ford warranty until November 2027. perkinsfordservice.co.uk
Ford Capri 2024 (74) 250 kW Premium 79 kWh AWD 5-dr Auto – Also listed at £36,990, this model comes with only ~1,406 miles, a fixed panoramic roof, driver assistance pack, heat pump, and up to ~370 miles combined range. perkinsfordservice.co.uk
Ford Focus 2024 (74) 1.0 EcoBoost Hybrid mHEV 155 ST-Line X 5-dr Auto, Pan Roof – At £25,990 with ~9,480 miles, this nearly new Focus offers hybrid efficiency, premium features like a panoramic roof, adaptive LED headlights, and full warranty through 2027. perkinsfordservice.co.uk

Each of these vehicles demonstrates that buyers can access top-tier Ford tech — including driver assistance systems, premium audio, advanced battery systems, and all the latest creature comforts — without the waiting and risk associated with a brand new order.

The Benefits in Bullets

Benefit	Description
Immediate availability	You can drive away in a quality Ford today, without months of delay.
Major cost saving	Nearly new models avoid the steep initial depreciation.
Warranty protection	Many still retain full manufacturer warranty or extended coverage.
High specification	Late-registration cars tend to have many of the same options as new.
Reduced risk	You avoid potential build specification errors, delivery issues or supply chain uncertainty.

Because Perkins always keeps a rotating stock of nearly new Ford vehicles, buyers can keep options open — pick model, colour or spec — while still benefiting from the “new-car feel.” perkinsgarages.co.uk+1

Comparing the Costs

Suppose a brand new equivalent Ford Explorer were available for £50,000 (for example). A nearly new example at £36,990 represents a huge saving off new — money the buyer could instead invest, reduce finance, or upgrade optional extras. Meanwhile, the residual value drift is less severe, as the worst depreciation has already occurred.

Similarly, the nearly new Focus model, at under £26,000, allows a buyer to access the latest hybrid tech and premium equipment with significantly less capital outlay than purchasing new.

Availability Is Key — and Perkins Delivers

Perkins Garages emphasises that all stock is “ready to drive” with instant collection or click-and-reserve options — an important selling point in today’s lean new-car supply environment. perkinsfordservice.co.uk+1

They also offer nationwide delivery, business users access, and a full 100,000-mile, two-year warranty on many nearly new Ford cars, reinforcing buyer confidence. perkinsgarages.co.uk

A Smart Approach in Uncertain Times

For buyers weighing the choice between placing a new order — with its attendant waiting, risk and cost — and snapping up available stock, the safe bet is becoming increasingly clear. Nearly new Ford stock offers:

? Immediate access — no waiting months for factory production
? Strong value — many features intact, but lower price
? Peace of mind — warranties and inspected condition
? Flexibility — more choice in colour, specification and financing

If you’re considering a new Ford, it’s well worth contacting Perkins Garages to explore their current stock. You may find that your perfect car is already in stock — ready, waiting and saving you thousands compared to ordering new.
