Used car deals of the week
In this week’s used car deals, we’ve sourced everything from a BMW M3 Touring to a Ford Mustang.
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 M3 Touring to a Ford Mustang.
Mercedes-AMG GT (2016)
£49,990
The list price of very close to £190,000 that’s attached to the Mercedes-AMG GT63 S E Performance comes as almost as much of a shock as the length and fiddliness of its name. Things were once much simpler, as the original Mercedes-AMG GT demonstrates. Rear-wheel drive, old-fashioned springs and adaptive dampers, a twin-turbo V8 engine powering the rear wheels only with a relatively modest 467bhp. It even had a mechanical locking differential, rather than an e-diff.

Being the old model, it’s much cheaper now too. You could have this one (at £49,990) and almost three others much like it for the list price of the latest, fastest AMG GT. Being a standard GT and not a GT S, it’s quite rare, and that differential will stand up to hard use on a circuit for longer than the GT S’s electronically controlled item. Pity, then, that this car lacks the excellent bucket seats that the old GTs could be specced with.
Ford Mustang GT (2018)
£32,490
It’s both the beauty and the biggest failing of the Ford Mustang that not a lot changes. Some things you don’t want to change – the V8, the option of a manual gearbox. Other things – the sheer size of it, the weight, the level of precision in the way it goes about its business – you’d tweak. A lot of this is what makes a Mustang a Mustang. So if you can’t muster up the £60k for a brand new S650, there’s probably an S550 Mustang out there for you.
> Ford Mustang GT 2025 review – BMW M2 rival is the last manual V8
Take this one for instance. Having covered just 11,564 miles, at £32,490 it’s almost half the price of what you’ll pay for a new Mustang. All you need to know? It’s a V8 and it has a six-speed manual.
Toyota Supra (2021)
£42,999
The return of the Toyota Supra was tumultuous. Not only because of how much time the Japanese like to take in reviving their performance icons, but because of how Toyota went about doing so. It teamed up with BMW, sharing a platform, engine, transmission and electronics for the Supra, meaning it received everything from BMW’s B58 twin-turbo six-cylinder engine to a BMW-based steering wheel and infotainment system.
> Toyota GR Supra (A90, 2019 - 2024) review – did this reborn icon deserve the hate?
All this makes it difficult to call the latest Supra a Japanese icon, but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad car. It’s actually a very good car – one that rides well, has a good fundamental balance and usable performance. It’s not Porsche sharp, Alpine delicate or shot through with personality like a Mustang. But it’s a good mix of sports and GT car all the same. It was appealing when new, but now it’s off-sale and the earliest used cars are reaching as low as £30,000, it’s even more tempting. This Prominence Red example is a later 2021 car with 22,700 miles, listed for £42,999.
BMW M3 Touring (2023)
£64,995
CS was once a byword for the best BMW M car you could buy. Then the M3 and M4 CS models had us asking whether the standard M3 and M4 Competition weren’t just ‘enough’. Now we’ve driven the M3 CS Touring and it could well be a return to form, with extra edge, response and control. But it comes at an awfully punchy price – over £126k, or in other words very nearly as much as an M5 Touring.
> BMW M3 CS Touring 2025 review – the ultimate everyday performance car
With that in mind, it’s worth considering just how good the standard M3 Touring is. It pretty much confiscated the market for fast estates on its arrival in 2022, as a vastly more accomplished driver’s car in almost every way than the Audi RS4 at which it was aimed. That was over three years ago now, so used examples are out there to be perused. This 2023 example has covered just over 30,000 miles and is priced at £64,995 – a little over half what a new M3 CS Touring would cost you. Portimao Blue with an red/black interior is a punchy spec, and while some might lament the lack of carbon-backed bucket seats, the standard items are just better if you plan on putting meaningful miles under the wheels.
Porsche 911 GT3 (2023)
£173,990
We’ve been spending a bit more time in the latest Porsche 911 GT3 Touring recently. The 992 generation’s battle has definitely been with its suitability as an all-round road car, with its astonishing performance and track capability not always translating to compliance and accessibility on the road. The new car very much addresses this issue, using knowhow from the S/T to make the latest GT3 Touring with a manual box the best road-resolved 992 GT3 yet, save perhaps for the immensely configurable GT3 RS.
But sometimes you need to call a spade a spade. The 992 GT3 is just such a good track car – that swan-neck wing had us all calling it an RS lite on its reveal – so the appeal of a proper track-spec car is real.
This 7000-mile 2023 example should do nicely. With PDK, PCCBs, lightweight glass, the carbon roof and the carbon bucket seats it’s ready for track abuse. In all there are £22k’s worth of optional extras. And in tasteful PTS Olive Green, with matching interior elements, you’ll be the talk of the evo Trackday pitlane. Yours for £173,990.
Jaguar F-Type SVR (2018)
£52,995
If that sounds like a bit much for you, how about this Jaguar F-Type SVR? We took a look back at what would have been the most recent Jaguar supercar had it reached production, the C-X75, earlier this week. But as it didn’t, the F-Type SVR is pretty much it.
That’s no slant on the Jag, it’s a wonderful thing to drive, with AWD diligently channelling the ferocious performance of its 567bhp 5-litre supercharged V8 to all four wheels. It was a bonafide 200mph 911 Turbo rival in its day and yet they can now be had for around £50k.
This example is priced at £52,995 and has been used reasonably extensively, having covered 32,000 miles. While it does feature the carbon styling pack, it doesn’t feature the carbon roof or the track-friendly carbon ceramic brakes.

Ford Focus RS (2017)
£30,990
Car bores have a romantic image of the Ford Focus in their minds, one that was slightly tarred on last acquaintance with the car with which the Focus name will die when it goes out of production in November.
We were similarly (hopelessly) optimistic about the last-generation Focus RS before its arrival but found it to be just a little too rough on the road, while also being somewhat aloof in feel by comparison to say, a Civic Type R or Renault Sport Megané.
> Best fast Fords of all time – from the GT supercar to the Fiesta ST
But that was by contemporary comparison and when new. Now? The Focus RS is a big bundle of silly fun that’s not a terrible place to park a lump of cash for the speculative car enthusiast. This one is a 2017 example and so being later in the life of the Mk3 RS, is less likely to suffer with the engine issues earlier cars were famously lumbered with. Eyecatching in the iconic Nitro Blue, this 20,000-mile example is available for £30,990.

Ferrari FF (2016)
£126,990
The Ferrari Testarossa is a strange car, almost performing more effectively in the role of grand tourer, than that of a supercar, in spite of those iconic pinup looks. It makes it a wonderful option as a usable supercar.
Quite on the other end of the spectrum was the Ferrari FF. Here was by far and away the most practical Ferrari yet made, with four proper seats, a big boot and for the first time, all-wheel drive. But under the bonnet? A 6.3-litre V12 engine, with exhaust and intake work that gave it performance and a soundtrack only matched at that point by Ferrari’s Corsa Clienti cars and the 599 GTO. Of course all V12 Ferraris since, from the F12 to the Purosangue SUV, have gotten that howling V12 note thanks to that engine but at the time, it was a proper supercar engine and character in GT clothes. See? The opposite of the Testarossa.
It’s hard to believe the FF is almost 15 years old now, which is exciting, because as a four-seat Ferrari, it represents spectacular value. This example however is a late 2016 car with plenty of options and an enduring Ferrari warranty and as such, carries what is still a hefty price tag, at £126k. Among other things it comes with Ferrari headphones, the passenger display and plenty of carbon trim but most valuable is the peace of mind that comes with the warranty. Earlier, leggier cars that are out of warranty can be had for as little as £75k.
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.
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.
Aston Martin V12 Vantage (2013)
£79,995
> New Aston Martin Vantage S revealed – Ferrari Amalfi rival is more powerful and focused
Aston Martin has revealed its latest Vantage S, which promises to be one of the most accomplished of Aston’s driver’s cars. The British marque has never been perfect but on a few occasions, it’s gotten mightily close. One of those occasions was with the original V12 Vantage.
Far from part of a well-thought-out product plan, like the new car which is part of Adrian Hallmark’s plan to return Aston to profitability, the 510bhp V12 Vantage was a bit of a skunkworks project. Or at least, it had a skunkworks feel, given it was the simple but delightful result of stuffing the biggest engine available into the smallest car Aston sold. It was a tight fit and it took work to get the feel and balance right but the result was one of the most compelling super sports cars of the last two decades.
Granted, its Cosworth-engineered V12 engine and manual transmission are a far cry from today’s 4-litre AMG V8 and eight-speed auto, but there is a whiff of the old V12s character in the new Vantage – of weaponising what should be too much power and performance to incredibly compelling effect. Hopefully the new Vantage S is a positive refinement of the formula still further.
This V12 Vantage is a fine example of the breed. A late model from 2013, it has just 9000 miles on the clock. It’s not the most distinctive spec being black with silver wheels and black calipers but it’s inimitably beautiful all the same.
Range Rover Sport SVR (2020)
£46,699
Somewhat antisocial and with an apparent ability to attract the unsavoury types you’d usually want to avoid, the Range Rover Sport SVR doesn’t have a great image these days. Regardless, it was one of the first SUVs of its kind, pairing a wild 567bhp 5-litre supercharged V8 with the luxury and refinement you’d expect from the marque, and it can now be had for much less than it cost from new.
> The 625bhp Range Rover Sport SV is now £35k cheaper than it was before
Going some way to avoiding the stereotypical SVR blue-on-black spec, this Corris grey car brings some class to the table. Two owners on the books is low for a car of this kind, with a 47,859 miles odometer reading also reasonable given SVR’s impressive ability to cover miles with ease. This car would have set you back six figures when new, but now it can be had for just £46,699.

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.

Lamborghini Huracán Performante (2018)
£199,990
The all-wheel drive precursor to the Huracán STO and the car in which Lamborghini launched its ALA active aerodynamics system, the Huracán Performante is a significant model to say the least. A 631bhp output from its 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 make it no slouch even in 2025, with a quoted 2.9sec 0-62mph time and a 202mph top speed not far from that of its all-new, V8-powered Temerario successor.
> Lamborghini Fenomeno – new hypercar will be revealed at Monterey Car Week
Despite its special edition status, the Performante hasn’t appreciated in quite the way we might have expected, with this white example on the market for a fraction under its original list price. Italian colour decals, gold forged wheels, forged exterior and interior carbonfibre trim and a whole lot more all come as part of the package too.

Ferrari 458 Italia (2012)
£126,950
As the final naturally aspirated mid-engined V8 Ferrari, the 458 is undoubtedly a future icon. Powered by the 4.5-litre F136 flat-plane crank V8, 562bhp and 398lb ft of torque make it quick even by today’s standards, putting all of that power to the rear wheels alone (through a snappy Getrag dual-clutch transmission) for a 3.4sec 0-62mph time and 202mph top speed.
> The Ferrari 296 Speciale Piloti is an 868bhp supercar you (probably) can’t buy
You won’t get much change from £300,000 for any new Ferrari in 2025, but after 19,000 miles on Britain’s roads, this 2012 car is now available for just £126,950. Finished in Rosso Corsa with a contrasting black roof and the desirable five, twin-spoke diamond cut factory wheels, it’s a strong spec too.

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.

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.
