Used car deals of the week
In this week’s used car deals, we’ve sourced everything from a BMW i3 S to a Porsche 911 Carrera
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 BMW i3 S to a Porsche 911 Carrera.
Porsche 911 Carrera (992, 2019)
£78,995
The 911 Carrera has been a benchmark for the sports car since it was launched in 1963, and while this has made each and every iteration a highly sought after car, there are still deals to be had. This 23,000-mile 992-generation car from 2019 is now on the market for £78,995, a good chunk cheaper than the £100,000+ you’ll pay for a new example today.
> New Porsche 911 Carrera T for £9k off – one of 2025's best sports cars discounted by 7 per cent
Porsche gives new buyers endless options when it comes to customisation, often leading to some rather divisive specs. This car, however, has been kept classy, finished in popular Porsche GT Silver paint, fitted with the staggered Carrera S wheels in grey and upholstered in black leather inside.

BMW i3s (2021)
£11,500
Even in 2025, EVs are a tricky sell for those who seek driving thrills, but if you’re looking for a daily driver for a modest commute, you needn’t look much further than an i3 S. With 184bhp it certainly won’t break any records, but with drive to the rear alone and a rigid, cutting-edge carbon chassis, it remains one of the best driver’s city cars built to date.
> BMW i3s review – BMW adds sporty appeal to electric hatch
When it was new, its relatively low 175-mile WLTP range made its c£35k new starting price a tough pill to swallow for some, but should you be able to dedicate the car to shorter journeys, this 2021 example at £11,500 makes a whole lot more sense. It’s covered 56,769 miles in its four years on the road, but a quick check of the battery health before purchase should give you all the peace of mind you need to take the plunge.

Cupra Formentor (2022)
£23,300
A Golf R in disguise, the Cupra Formentor is a practical family crossover with true hot hatch performance. Strong looks (especially in this pre-facelift form) and all of the interior niceties you could ask for in a daily driver make it an excellent choice for those looking for a do-it-all performance car. With over 300bhp coming from its 2-litre turbocharged EA888 four-cylinder, 0-62mph is said to come in 4.9sec with top speed at 155mph, putting in well in realm of hot hatches of today.
> Cupra Formentor VZ 2025 review – a Golf R disguised as a family car
Buy one new in 2025 and you’ll pay almost £50,000, but this 2022 car is now on the market for a shockingly low £23k. It might be half price, but you still get all of the kit you’d want, such as Nappa leather upholstery, Apple CarPlay, striking copper Cupra accents and the 19-inch diamond cut wheels.

Mercedes-AMG GT (2016)
£49,990
There are very few performance cars that look better value than the original Mercedes-AMG GT in 2025, but unlike some alternatives, it’s not easy to see why they’re priced so low. At its core is the same excellent 4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 as in the rest of the recent AMG range (hybrid four and six-cylinders aside), with not far from 500bhp helping it reach 62mph from standstill in 4sec flat before a very respectable 189mph top speed – they’re free of any deal-breaking reliability issues, too.
> Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance 2025 review – is AMG’s £190k hybrid hot rod its best GT?
Having covered a reasonably low 20,000 miles in its nine years on Britain’s roads, this tidy Diamond white example is now available for £49,990 – no, that’s not the cost of its options, you really can own the car for that amount. With just one owner on its books, the uprated Burmester sound system, 19-inch wheels and adjustable AMG Ride Control suspension, it’s hardly light on options either.

Lotus Eletre (2024)
£68,990
Lotus made a departure from its roots with the introduction of upmarket, all-electric models in recent years, and while some variants boast impressive performance, they’re certainly not captivating the market in the way Geely hoped they might. This entry-level Eletre still produces over 600bhp for a 4.5sec 0-62mph time and 160mph top speed, but that doesn’t mean it’s held its value…
> Lotus Eletre 2025 review – is Hethel's 'hyper SUV' a Cayenne killer?
You’ll pay over £90,000 for a new example, but not even 1000 miles since it rolled off the production line, this well-optioned Natron red car is already on the market for £68,990 – that’s a discount of over £20,000. Despite this, you still get all of the interior niceties such as Apple Carplay, the optional ‘Lotus Pilot Pack’, 12.6-inch central infotainment display, 22-inch wheels in silver and even the uprated 1380w KEF sound system.

Renault Megane RS (2020)
£19,295
The Megane RS and the Renaultsport brand that produced it are no more, but given their popularity while they were on sale, you won’t struggle to find used examples on the classifieds. This 2020 car comes with a derivative of the same zippy 1.8-litre turbocharged four-cylinder you’ll find at the heart of the Alpine A110, sending just shy of 300bhp to the front wheels via a manual transmission – no DCT here.
> Renault Mégane RS Trophy Fast Fleet test – 13,000 miles in the swansong hot hatch
Despite having covered just over 20,000 miles in its five years on Britain’s roads, this understated silver car is on the market for under £20,000, around £10,000 less than it was when new. With the Sport Chassis, 18-inch grey Estoril wheels, standard Apple Carplay and more, there are certainly worse ways to spend that sum.

McLaren 540C (2016)
£81,995
‘Entry-level supercar’ can be a misleading term, as while it might be applied to the cheapest model in a given lineup, the performance they can offer is often more serious than the title suggests. The McLaren 540C is a car that follows this rule, as while it was launched as the cheapest and least powerful model in Woking’s supercar lineup, its 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V8 still produces 533bhp for a potent 3.4sec 0-62mph time – combine this with a rigid carbon tub and trademark McLaren dynamics and you get a budget supercar that can compete with much more expensive machinery.
> £2m McLaren W1 makes public debut – 1257bhp P1 successor eyes Ferrari F80
Some early McLarens have dropped through the floor in terms of value largely thanks to reliability concerns, but the 540C has retained a fair chunk of its worth even almost a decade on. This 9800-mile car has just a single owner on its books, is finished in a sharp white shade and is currently up for sale on the Auto Express Marketplace for just over £80,000 – that’s the same price as an Audi RS3 with a healthy dose of options.

Range Rover SVAutobiography (2021)
£58,000
Range Rover and its more rugged Land Rover sibling have been doing some heavy lifting for Jaguar Land Rover in the last year, with some strong new offerings coming from both sides of the company. While its latest and greatest luxury SUVs are arguably the best they’ve been, they’re certainly not for the budget-conscious buyer. This 2021 SVAutobiography, however, might just be.
> Save £30k on a new Range Rover and buy a Renault 5 with the savings!
Despite being the flagship Range Rover just a few years ago, this 44,787-mile Santorini black car is now on the market for under £60,000, and comes with plenty of optional extras too. Alongside its 565bhp V8 powerplant, the likes of a 1700W Meridian sound system and 360-degree camera make it a strong choice for those looking for ultimate luxury on a budget.
Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio (2021)
£48,500
A firecracker 2.9-litre turbocharged V6, 503bhp output and the lowest kerbweight of every one of its rivals make the Giulia Quadrifoglio one of the ultimate evo supersaloons. Its quick steering rack and expertly judged chassis make it more akin to a sports car than a family four door, with a 191mph top speed proving just how serious it really is.
> £15k off Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio super SUV
You won’t get much change from £100,000 if you buy a new example today, but after 24,938 miles on Britain’s roads, this striking red example from 2021 is now on the market for half that amount. Those iconic five-hole 19-inch wheels, the must-have carbonfibre interior trim and carbon-backed bucket seats are all part of the package, and while it might be a few years old, Apple CarPlay is equipped and ready to go.
BMW M5 Competition (F90, 2019)
£42,395
The new BMW M5 is a divisive car to say the least, but if you’re on the fence and looking to spend a little less than the £112k required for a new example, we have a solution. Step back a few years to its pure-combustion F90 predecessor and you have yourself the same 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 minus the hybrid system, but thanks to a power advantage to 616bhp and a reduction in weight, it actually has a better power-to-weight figure – the results are a quicker 0-62mph time, believe it or not, at 3.3sec. Its design is also much more conventional, if that matters to you.
> BMW M5 facelift is already testing with a less piggy face
Just over 47,000 miles since it left the dealership six years ago, this San Marino blue car could now be in your garage for only £42,395 – that’s under half the price of a new M5. Don’t think you’ll miss out on options at this price, either, as it still comes with that sharp BMW M carbonfibre roof, the uprated Harmon/Kardon sound system, BMW Individual 'shadowline' black trim and more.
Mercedes-Benz Maybach S600 (2021)
£49,000
Fast German saloons are the kings of depreciation, and so there’s no surprise a Maybach S-class has lost the vast majority of its original value after just a few years on the road. This particular car is no low-spec example, either, having been fitted with no less than the 6-litre twin-turbocharged V12 for the most luxurious power delivery possible.
> Mercedes CLK DTM: the anatomy of the 2000s V8 touring car
The original buyer would have paid well over £200,000 for this car in 2021, but now, it’s on the market for £150,000 less. Just 20,000 miles on the clock, wood and chrome trim, the desirable chrome monoblock wheels, wood/leather trimmed steering wheel, over eight interior upgrade packages and a whole lot more make it perhaps the most car you can get for under £50,000.

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…

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.
