Used car deals of the week
In this week’s used car deals, we’ve sourced everything from a Volkswagen Up GTI to a Maserati GranTurismo
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 Volkswagen Up GTI to a Maserati GranTurismo.
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.

Volkswagen Up GTI (2019)
£10,450
The Volkswagen Up GTI arrived in 2018 to rekindle the spirit of the original Golf GTI, and while its 113bhp output is far from headline-grabbing, the driving experience it offers more than makes up for it. Its 1-litre turbocharged three-cylinder is eager and charismatic when paired with its 995kg kerb weight, with a satisfying manual shift and playful dynamics putting it at the top of its class.
> Volkswagen Up GTI (2017-2023) review – a modern-day Mk1 Golf GTI?
This Pure White, single-owner example has covered 50,622 miles since it left the dealership in 2019, and at £10,450, it’s an affordable way into GTI ownership. Used values might not have dropped as much as we’d usually expect for a car of this kind, but it’s an affordable performance model no matter which way you look at it, and clearly a desirable one at that.

Mercedes-Benz S63 Coupe (2014)
£34,900
The Mercedes-Benz S63 Coupe blends V8 muscle with ultimate luxury in a way few rivals did, or have since, for that matter. Powered by the mighty AMG-tuned 5.5-litre M157 twin-turbocharged V8, it produces 577bhp and 664lb ft for a brisk 4.2sec 0-62mph time and autobahn performance not much can match.
> Mercedes-AMG S63 E Performance 2025 review – the most powerful S-class, but by no means the best
This 2014 example is packed with options, including a panoramic sunroof, Burmester sound system and classy black poplar wood trim, but even so, it’s available for a fraction of its list price. After 64,803 miles on the road, it’s now up for sale for just £34,900, less than a third of its original list price…

Maserati GranTurismo (2019)
£45,500
The Maserati GranTurismo remains one of the most emotive GT cars of recent decades, and in its later forms with the improved 4.7-litre F136 V8, you can’t go too far wrong. A peak output of 454bhp won’t help it set any records, but with an addictive exhaust note and a useful 4.8sec 0-62mph time and 185mph top speed, you’re unlikely to want much more.
> Maserati MC20 GT2 Stradale 2025 review – Modena's answer to the Porsche 911 GT3 RS
Finished in deep blue with the uprated Harman Kardon sound system and just 36,000 miles covered from new, this two-owner car is a tempting proposition at £45,500 – given this is half its original price, it might just be worth the punt if you can bear its running costs.

Bentley Continental GT S (2014)
£43,900
The Bentley Continental GT S might not wear its performance credentials on its sleeve, but beneath its pared-back design lies some serious performance. Powered by the same 4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 behind numerous Volkswagen Group performance models, it produces 521bhp in middling S spec to enable a 4.3sec 0-62mph time and an impressive 192mph top speed. Despite its considerable size, the GT S delivers genuine driver engagement, with a sharper chassis tune than the standard V8 and an addictive soundtrack to match.
> The base spec Bentley Continental GT will still have 670bhp
Priced deep into six figures with options when new, the previous-generation GT S has now become a tempting proposition on the used market. This ‘Meteor’ black example has covered only 26,060 miles under the care of two owners, and is currently on the market at just £43,900, less than some new hot hatches in 2025.

Aston Martin Vantage (2019)
£69,800
The launch of the AMG-powered Vantage marked a radical shift in both design and engineering for Gaydon, with a muscular new shape and performance more in line with that of thoroughbred supercars. Its 4-litre twin-turbo V8 produces 503bhp, sent through an eight-speed automatic gearbox to the rear axle for a 3.6sec 0-62mph time. With a top speed of 195mph and a chassis honed for agility, it brings a level of aggression and precision previously unseen in the brand’s junior GT.
> Upgraded Aston Martin DB12 spied with Ferrari California-style stacked exhaust set-up
This particular car has covered 19,000 miles since it was delivered in 2019 and is currently on the market at just under £70,000. That figure gets you a hugely capable sports car with genuine supercar pace, all for £100,000 less than the latest variant.

McLaren 720S (2017)
£128,949
The McLaren 750S is one of the best supercars on the market in 2025, but if its £250,000 price tag is a little hard to stomach, a used 720S offers a lot of the same for over £100,000 less. Powered by an earlier variant of the same 4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 found in the new car, the 720S produces 710bhp (though this is said to be underrated by quite some margin) for a 2.9sec 0-62mph time and blistering 212mph top speed. It also combines McLaren’s trick hydraulically interlinked suspension with a rigid carbon tub to give it class-leading dynamics.
> Best supercars 2025 – our favourite show-stopping driving machines
A total of 30,500 miles and eight years since it left Woking, this MSO Helios Orange 720S is now up for sale. While its 2025 alternative will set you back a quarter of a million pounds, you’ll pay under £130,000 for this car – as far as performance for the money goes, you’re unlikely to do much better.

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.
> evo magazine latest issue – 332 on sale now
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.

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.

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.

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…
