Used car deals of the week
In this week’s used car deals, we’ve sourced everything from a Hyundai i20 N to a McLaren GT
Having a flick through the pages of any issue of evo magazine, or scrolling through evo.co.uk, is a risk for anyone with an itchy trigger finger when it comes to swapping in and out of cars. You see a story and the tiny voice in the back of your head whispers ‘I could see myself in something like that’. And so to the classifieds you go, which for most these days, are only the swipe of an app away.
Each week in used car deals we do exactly that, scouring through the classifieds to find the very best deals on the market. This week, we've found everything from a Hyundai i20 N to a McLaren GT.
BMW M3 (F80, 2017)
£28,000
The current G80 M3 is one of the greatest fast saloons we’ve seen to date, but its predecessor wasn’t exactly a flop. While the original non-Competition car had its quirks, it was a fine way to introduce turbocharging to the iconic lineup, with its 3-litre twin-turbocharged S55 straight-six sending well over 400bhp to the rear wheels alone (unlike the new car) for a 4.1sec 0-62mph time and 155mph top speed.
You’ll pay six figures for a new G80 M3 today, but after 59,540 miles on Britain’s roads this Mineral White F80 is now on the market for under £30,000. Adaptive M suspension, that trademark carbonfibre roof, the desirable factory 19-inch diamond cut wheels, Extended Lights package and more make it a great way to spend that sum.

Hyundai i20 N Performance (2022)
£22,690
With the Fiesta ST and i20 N now having met their ends, the hot supermini segment is all but dead. Thankfully you can find plenty of examples on the classifieds, with this 2022 i20 N up for sale on the Auto Express Marketplace. Powered by a 1.6-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, 201bhp and 203lb ft of torque make it more than peppy enough, with a standard-fit Torsen-style mechanical limited-slip differential elevating its limits to beyond even some outright sports cars.

Given it’s no longer on sale, prices have held frustratingly well over the years, but even so this 2022 car is now available for a discount. Having covered a modest 27,383 miles in its three years on the road, this well-optioned grey car is available for £22,690, around £5k less than it was when new.

McLaren GT (2020)
£93,990
There’s not a single modern McLaren that has disappointed us on first impressions, with class-leading control weighting, seating positions and that turbocharged V8 a firecracker in every one of its forms. The GT is no exception, as while it wasn’t our pick of the range, 611bhp to the rear for a 3.2sec 0-62mph time and 204mph top speed, plus that rigid carbon tub, make it a truly thrilling driver’s car.
> McLaren Artura 2025 review – the ultimate entry-level supercar
Sadly the market didn’t take to the GT well, with values having dropped significantly since it went on sale. Despite having covered only 10,926 miles since it left the dealership in 2020, this stunning two-owner, Aurora blue car is now on the market for just £93,990, over £70,000 less than it was when new. Talk about a deal…

Mini Cooper JCW (2020)
£17,599
The Mini JCW lineup has given us mixed feelings over the years and while we’ve almost always preferred its alternatives, they do bring unique hot hatch character to the table. The latest car isn’t the strongest of the bunch, but this earlier car, now discounted, is an intriguing proposition.
> Mini JCW Electric 2025 review – the Alpine A290 has nothing to worry about
Sold with a manual gearbox paired with its 231bhp 2-litre turbocharged four-cylinder, this particular variant hits 62mph from standstill in just 6.3sec, with an uprated chassis giving it a strong boost in response over the ordinary car. Its 2025 replacement starts from over £35k, but after a low 20,924 miles on the road, this car can now be yours for under £18,000.

Ford Focus ST Edition (2024)
£36,648
The death of the Ford Focus ST in a way marks the death of the Fast Ford as we’ve come to know and love it over the last 25 years or so. It’s the end of the post-Cosworth era that started with the original Focus RS and ST170, and subsequently gave us multiple generations of hot Fiesta and Focus.
The Fiesta STs especially were all but untouchable in their segments and among the finest, most fun hot hatches of all time. The Focus ST didn’t hit quite the same highs, but the most recent Mk4 ST Edition and Track Edition models were proper scruff-of-the-neck driver’s cars and some of the last traditional hot hatches out there.
> After 23 years the Ford Focus ST is dead
While Ford isn't taking orders for the Focus ST any longer, there will reportedly be 170 more Focus STs built before Focus production closes for good. That said, if you want a bit of money off what a new one would cost, this nearly-new 2024 Azura Blue ST Edition might be tempting.
The 276bhp Edition came with adjustable KW suspension, Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres, lightweight 19-inch wheels and upgraded brakes. New, this would have cost over £42k. With just under 5000 miles on the odometer, this one’s a more palatable £36,648.
Audi RS5 (2018)
£33,695
With the Audi A5 becoming a four-door Sportback in its latest guise, the new car market is one proper coupe down – and that’s always a bad thing. The new S5 is capable and enjoyable to drive, but it doesn’t have the glamour and visual presence of the old coupe.
> Audi S5 2025 review – BMW M340i rival is better than ever but still leaves you cold
That’s okay though because for less than half the price of a new S5 Sportback, you can pick up this Java Green RS5 coupe from 2018. At just £33,695 and with 444bhp that’s a lot of performance for the money. The 2.9-litre turbocharged V6 is shared with Porsche and while a bit industrial compared to the old V8 fast Audis, is brutally effective.
They’re considered to be a bit more reliable and less sensitive to run than the old 4.2-litre V8, too. This car has covered 50,100 miles so it’s lived a bit of a life. But in a way, that’s what you want for a car of this age, rather than for it to have had a sedentary existence spoiling the tyres and hardening the bushings.
Alpine A110 S (2020)
£44,500
A new era for Alpine is upon us, soft-launched by the Renault 5-based A290 and now fully underway with the reveal of the A390. Whichever way you look at it, this is a car a long way from the A110 that relaunched the brand and garnered so much critical acclaim some eight years ago.
The featherweight A110 is a rarity in today’s market, being a car much closer to one ton than two or even three. It’s small, compliant, wieldy and tractable. It sports modest power, elegant looks and delectable balance in a world obsessed with garish design and big numbers.
> Alpine A110 2025 review – one of the all-time sports car greats will soon be gone
Having been around for a while, there’s great choice out there if you want to pick up a used A110 for much less than the price of a runout A110 GTS. They’re not all blue, silver, black or white, either. This sunflower yellow 2020 A110 S will turn almost as many heads as the outrageous Zagato-bodied A110-based AGTZ Twin Tail, for less than a tenth of the price, at £44,500.
Mercedes-Benz Maybach S600 (2015)
£55,000
The last holdouts of the V12 engine: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce… the Mercedes S-class? Believe it or not, yes, albeit not for a ferocious sound and effervescent personality but because V12s can be, if prepared appropriately, the silkiest, smoothest engines out there, delivering the most potency with as little fuss as possible.
That’s what an S-class is about: fuss-free transport. The current Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance doesn’t quite cut it as a quiet, cossetting limousine, sacrificing too much in the name of outrageous performance. There’s a facelift coming but more of the same is expected. By contrast, the ultimate S-class experience, we think, comes in Maybach spec.
> Mercedes-AMG S63 facelift spied – Affalterbach’s hybrid answer to the Bentley Flying Spur
You can still just about buy a Mercedes-Maybach S 680 with a 603bhp V12, but they’re priced from a dizzying £226,595. This example from 2015, meanwhile, is priced from just £55,000 – less than a quarter, leaving over £175k left for the purchase of a 911 GT3 to go alongside it. For your £55k you get swathes of wood and leather, a 530bhp 6-litre twin-turbo V12 and the almost mythical monoblock alloy wheels. It’s not like it’s done moon miles either, with just 20k on the odometer. Mind you, looking after any old Mercedes isn’t cheap, so an old V12 Maybach should warrant a strong emergency fund should the need for repairs arise…
Maserati GranTurismo S (2016)
£28,995
The latest generation of Maserati GranTurismo is a strong performer in Trofeo-guise, pairing the MC20’s firecracker Nettuno V6 with an uprated chassis for more performance than its V8 predecessor could ever muster. That’s not to say that the old car isn’t a desirable GT, though, with a much more pleasant sound and a good dose of old school Italian charm making it a charming option in 2025.
> Best GT cars 2025 – the ultimate continent crossers
This 4.7-litre ‘S’ car has covered 68,150 miles in its time on the road, and you could be its third owner for just under £30,000. It’s hardly short on performance, either, with 454bhp said to help it reach 62mph from a standstill in 4.8sec before it hits a 185mph top speed.

BMW M8 Convertible (2019)
£49,994
The BMW M8 is one of those cars that never quite hit the mark, and the convertible exacerbates matters. There’s no doubt it’s capable with a 617bhp 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 shifting its high weight figure with little effort, but it just doesn’t engage in the way an M car should. Drop the cost to below half its original price, though, and it looks a much more interesting offering.
> BMW Skytop spotted on the road for the first time – £400,000 special nears production
After 33,000 miles and six years on Britain’s roads, this Donington Grey M8 Convertible is now on the market for under £50,000, putting it in-line with some new hot hatches. Pricey BMW Individual paint, full Merino leather upholstery, carbonfibre interior trim, the Harman Kardon sound system all make that price look even more attractive, and it could be yours for a tenth of the cost of the new M8 Convertible-based Skytop.

Abarth 595 Essesse (2021)
£15,699
Abarth has gone all electric with the launch of the 600e, and while this car might be more capable than any other road-going Abarth that came before it, it does lack some of the character of those earlier models. The 595 Essesse has this in abundance, with its 180bhp 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder breathing through the raucous quad-tipped Monza exhaust system and driven through a five-speed manual transmission.
> Abarth 600e 2025 review – Italy gives the Alpine A290 something to worry about
The Abarth 500e, the 595’s closest EV equivalent, for now, costs from just under £40,000 new, but this 33,940-mile, single-owner Essesse is on the market for under half that amount. Being a special edition, it comes with the sharp 17-inch multispoke Essesse wheels in white, a bold contrast to its solid black paintwork. Built on the Competizione spec, it comes with a mechanical limited-slip differential and Koni suspension too.

Lamborghini Aventador S (2017)
£225,000
Sant'Agata’s new V12 flagship, the Revuelto, is one of the finest supercars of the moment, blending one of the finest naturally aspirated V12s we’ve seen with cutting-edge hybrid technology. While impressive at its launch, the Aventador was never quite as sophisticated, but the way in which it approaches the supercar formula has made it a through and through icon.
> Lamborghini Revuelto 2025 review – the ultimate modern supercar
Hypercar presence and that howling 6.5-litre V12 made it unlike any other car in its segment, and in this S-form from 2017, its performance isn’t a slouch either – top speed stands at 217mph, with 0-62mph said to come in only 2.9sec. That ISR single-clutch transmission is hilariously unrefined next to the Revuleto’s DCT, but if you can stomach the maintenance costs, this is a car that’s bound to give you plenty of drives to remember.

Ferrari 458 Speciale (2014)
£298,000
The 458 Speciale is one of the greatest driver’s cars of modern times, combining Maranello’s finest 9000rpm naturally-aspirated V8 with an exploitable chassis that not much can touch. An output of 597bhp and 398lb ft are comparatively modest next to its 2025 relative, the 868bhp 296 Speciale, but a 3sec 0-62mph time and 202mph top speed are more than enough to make it an exceptional performer.
> The Ferrari 296 Speciale has arrived, and it could be the most thrilling Ferrari ever
Given it was the final mid-engined naturally-aspirated V8 special from Ferrari, it should be no surprise that values have held up over time. This single-owner, 13,000-mile car is actually on the market for £90,000 more than its original list price, but even so, it’s still £100,000 cheaper than its 2025 alternative. We’re yet to sample the hardcore 296 for ourselves, but it’s safe to say that if you’re to pay over list price for any modern supercar, the 458 Speciale isn’t a place to do it.

Audi RS6 Avant (C7, 2017)
£39,495
The C7 Audi RS6 is still an excellent all-weather performance machine even in 2025, with a potent powertrain, well-sorted chassis and plenty of interior niceties making it a well-rounded fast estate. This particular car is a later Performance model, featuring the Volkswagen Group’s ubiquitous 4-litre twin-turbocharged V8, with 597bhp in this case – flat-out it’ll hit 62mph from standstill in only 3.7sec, making this family five-door supercar quick.
This sharp Mythos Black example has just two owners on its books and a reasonable 62,000 miles on the clock, but even so, it’s now on the market for just £39,495. Not only is that less than you’ll pay for some new hot hatches, it’s well over £50,000 less than it cost its original owner.
