Used car deals of the week
In this week’s used car deals, we’ve sourced everything from an Abarth 595 to a Ferrari 488 GTB
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 an Abarth 595 to a Ferrari 488 GTB.
Abarth 595 Essesse (2021)
£13,850
Abarth is officially going all-electric in 2025, leaning into its electric offerings with the existing 500e and new 600e crossover. The latter has proven to be a genuinely entertaining offering and one of the best in its class, but there’s no beating the character of a combustion-powered Abarth.
> Abarth 600e 2025 review – Italy gives the Alpine A290 something to worry about
The 595 Essesse special paired a striking grey on white colour scheme with the Competizione powertrain, meaning its 1.4-litre turbocharged four-cylinder produces 178bhp at its peak. Those glorious supersport wheels are finished in white to match its decals, making it one of the best looking modern Abarths in our eyes, and this 37,644-mile example could be yours for under £14,000.

Bentley Continental GT V8 S (2014)
£43,950
Despite a push towards electrification and the introduction of numerous plug-in hybrids, it seems Bentley has no plans to ditch the V8 any time soon. That’s music to our ears, as some of the greatest driver’s cars to come from the marque have come with eight cylinders, including the previous-generation Continental GT V8 S we see here.
> Bentley has no plans to stop using V8s
You won’t get any change from £200,000 for a new car in 2025, but after just over 26,000 miles on Britain’s roads this deep black 2014 example is now on the market for £43,950, less than the price of a new Volkswagen Golf R. Better still, it has just two owners on its books, and being the S, it comes with a 521bhp output and plenty standard kit.

Audi RS4 Avant (2022)
£49,700
The B9 RS4 has met its end as Audi looks to refresh its entire lineup, but that doesn’t mean you can’t find great examples on the used market. It might not have the naturally-aspirated V8 of its predecessor, but it’s not short on output, with its modest 2.9-litre turbocharged V6 producing 444bhp for a 4.1sec 0-62mph time and 155mph top speed flat-out.
> Audi RS4 (B9, 2018 - 2024) review – target number one for the BMW M3 Touring
This ‘Progressive Red’ example has been on our roads for a good few years now, but even so, it’s covered just 8100 miles in that time. Despite its low mileage and single-owner status, it could be yours for under £50,000, around £20,000 less than it was new.

Ferrari 488 GTB (2016)
£136,950
Having been launched as the first turbocharged model of its lineup, it’s no surprise the 488 GTB is overlooked. The 458 that came before it is fast becoming a modern classic with its excellent F136 naturally-aspirated V8, and with recent successors boasting considerably more power and tech, the 488 GTB receives less attention than it perhaps should.
> Ferrari 296 Challenge 2025 review – Maranello's hybrid supercar goes V6-only
In isolation, though, the 488 is an excellent driver’s car with true Ferrari character, incredible balance and a firecracker 661bhp 3.9-litre twin-turbocharged V8, allowing for a 3sec 0-62mph time and a 205mph top speed. What its underappreciation means is that prices are lower than they ever have been, with this low 10,455-mile example on the market for just £136,950 – that’s over £100,000 less than a new 296 GTB.

Toyota Supra (2021)
£47,950
The final and most potent iteration of the A90 Supra has been launched, but thanks to the zero emissions vehicles mandate it won’t make it to UK shores. Nevertheless, there are plenty of used examples now on the classifieds at a significant discount despite the increasing desirability of the model.
> New Toyota Supra on the way, A90 Final Edition not UK-bound
After only 10,500 miles on the road, this 3-litre straight-six model is now on the market for £47,950, and has just a single owner on its books to boot. Better still, it’s the Jarama Race Track Edition, giving it a few unique touches and that striking Horizon Blue paint.

Audi RS3 (2020)
£32,500
The Audi RS3 is a fine hot hatch, and while it might have been overshadowed by lighter, more conventional rivals in its early years, it offers a truly desirable package in 2025. Powered by a potent and characterful five-cylinder, it produces not far from 400bhp in its earlier forms to make it one of the quickest cars in its class.
While it’s supremely capable on Britain’s roads thanks to its clever variable all-wheel drive system, it also happens to be a very usable car, making high mileage examples common. This tastefully optioned dark Tango Red example has covered a strong 61,075 miles in its five years on the road, but you get a strong discount as a result with its price at only £32,500.

McLaren 570S (2020)
£94,000
Sports Series McLarens offer much of what we love about its more potent offerings in a smaller, more accessible package, and used examples take that to the next level. Powered by a detuned take on the same 3.8-litre twin-turbocharged V8 found in the rest of the lineup, the 570S produces a strong 562bhp for a 3.4sec 0-62mph time and 204mph top speed – it might be smaller in size than its Super Series relatives, but it’s certainly no slouch.
> McLaren Artura Spider 2025 review – Britain's Ferrari 296 rival just got a whole lot better
After 9471 miles on Britain’s roads, this single-owner car is now on the market for over £70,000 less than it was new. Listed for £94,000, this 570S costs almost £20,000 less than a new BMW M5, and it even comes with plenty of desirable optional extras including those from McLaren Special Operations.

Hyundai i20 N Performance (2022)
£19,999
The i20 N and its Ford equivalent, the Fiesta ST, are now officially dead, making the hot supermini a thing of the past. For those who are happy to buy used, though, there are still plenty to choose from, and the Hyundai is now available for a good chunk under its original list price.
> The Hyundai i20 N is dead; we take it for one last drive
This 2022 car is up for sale on the Auto Express Marketplace for just under £20,000, around £7000 less than it was when new a few years ago. While many have been modified, this car is untouched, finished in sharp Atlas White and even has just a single owner on its books.

Porsche 911 GT3 (991.2, 2017)
£124,700
The Porsche 911 GT3 has remained a constant in the performance car segment, offering evolutions of the same winning package ever since its 1999 launch. The 991.2-generation was as accomplished as any, with its 4-litre naturally-aspirated flat-six producing 500bhp and its chassis one of the best money can buy.
> Used Porsche 911 GT3 (992.1, 2021-2024): review, history, specs and buying guide
Thanks to the magic of depreciation, you don’t need quite as much money as you might have thought, either. After 12,500 miles on the road, this single-owner 2017 car is now on the market for £124,700, over £30,000 less than the new car.

Audi S6 (2022)
£35,795
Audi’s S6 has gone all-electric (briefly, until the product line reverts back to the old naming structure) as a rival to BMW’s i5, and while it’s a comfortable, refined way to cover ground at pace, a low range figure means you won’t go very far. One excellent way to avoid range anxiety and cover hundreds of miles without a worry is to opt for a diesel, and this 2022 S6 offers just that.
> Audi S6 e-tron Avant review – BMW’s i5 Touring has a rival on its hands
Powered by a 344bhp 3-litre turbocharged six-cylinder, you’re unlikely to want much more performance, and it won’t break the bank. Despite having just a single owner on its books, this example is on the market for £35,795, a shocking £65,000 less than the new electric variant…

Lotus Emira V6 First Edition (2023)
£62,150
The Lotus Emira ‘First Edition’ has finally gone off sale after three years in production, and during that time, the new price for the V6 model has skyrocketed to not far from £100,000. Handily, there’s no requirement to buy new, and instead you can have this low 3247-mile First Edition for over £30,000 less than the standard car today.
> New Lotus Emira Turbo SE launched with 400bhp
There aren’t many configurations that look bad on an Emira, but this spec is especially sharp, with classy dark green paint paired with 20-inch forged wheels in silver. Being the V6, it produces 400bhp from its 3.5-litre supercharged power plant, enough for a 4.6sec 0-62mph time and 169mph top speed. There are certainly worse ways to spend £62,150 if you ask us.

BMW M2 Competition (F87, 2019)
£37,690
The F87 BMW M2 Competition lifted Munich’s sports coupe to a new level, with a true M-developed S55 straight-six and honed dynamics giving Porsche something to keep an eye on. An output of 404bhp makes it a potent offering even in 2025, and unlike most cars of this kind, it was available with a manual transmission.
> Used BMW M2 Competition (F87, 2018 - 2020) review – modern M car great for hot hatch money
This Hockenheim silver example is equipped with just that, comes with the uprated Harman/Kardon sound system, 19-inch diamond cut wheels and just 21,424 miles on the clock. Yours for £37,690, almost half the price of the 2025 equivalent.

Alpine A110 (2023)
£43,422
We’ve known it was coming for some time now, but Alpine has officially launched the final iterations of the A110 – one of the best sports cars of recent times and a tonic in a hybridised world, we’ll be sad to see it go. Thankfully it’s still on sale for a year or so, but with prices now starting from £55,160 for the entry-level car, a used example is a great way to go if you’re on a budget.
> A110 R 70 and A110 GTS will be the last petrol Alpines
For over £10,000 less than a new example, this single-owner, 6864-mile car is now up for sale on the Auto Express Marketplace, finished in white and with the desirable diamond-cut factory wheels. It won’t match the more potent S or R for performance, but its 252bhp output is still more than enough for excellent performance on Britain’s roads, with 0-62mph quoted at a respectable 4.5sec.

Aston Martin V12 Vantage S (2014)
£78,990
The original V12 Vantage is a performance car of the kind we’re unlikely to see again. Shoehorning a 6-litre naturally-aspirated V12 under the bonnet of a compact two-door is something no manufacturer is likely to undertake in 2025, but that’s exactly what Aston Martin did here. In 2013 the S was introduced to lift output to 565bhp, making it a 205mph supercar capable of a modern 3.7sec 0-62mph time.
> Used Aston Martin V12 Vantage (2009 - 2018) review – manual V12 for less than a Cayman
Costing from £140,000 at its launch, it was far from cheap, but now this Meteorite Silver example is on the market for half that price. It might have the less desirable automatic transmission, but with just 8830 miles on the clock, a single owner on its books and optional extras such as the uprated sound system and carbonfibre body pack, it’s a very strong way to spend that cash.

Porsche 718 Cayman 2.0 (2019)
£36,718
The switch from six cylinders to four in the 718 Cayman and Boxster was as poorly received as you’d expect – Porsche backtracked on the idea and reintroduced the flat-six within a few years. The four cylinder had very little of the six cylinder’s character, but it’s a strong unit in terms of output nonetheless, and the car it’s attached to is undoubtedly Porsche. With a used discount, the four-cylinder Cayman is now an excellent way into a modern rear-drive sports car for hot hatch money.
> Porsche 718 Boxster/Cayman 2.0 four-cylinder – the car world's greatest misses
After 27,000 miles and six years on our roads, this four-owner example is now on the market for under £37,000, a fair chunk off its original list price and cheaper than a new Volkswagen Golf R. It might sound more like a Subaru than a Porsche 911 RSR, but 295bhp to the rear through a PDK transmission, a 170mph top speed, and a well sorted chassis is a fine combination for that price.

Honda Civic Type R GT (FK2, 2015)
£19,995
The FK2 Honda Civic Type R is one of the lesser loved of the lineup, but look past its awkward looks and it has all of the right ingredients for a fantastic hot hatch. Its 2-litre four-cylinder was the first turbocharged unit of the Type R lineup, and produced a strong 306bhp as a result to make it one of the most potent cars in its class at the time – pair that with its sharp chassis and you have yourself one excellent driver’s machine.
> Used Honda Civic Type R (FK2, 2015 - 2017) – the forgotten hardcore Focus RS rival
Type R prices tend to hold well given their desirability, and despite its looks, the FK2 is no different. Nevertheless, this relatively low, 56,000-mile car can still be had for just under £20,000, making it under half the price of the latest FL5 when new. We certainly wouldn’t say it’s half the car…
