The used cars were found by Top Gear this week, as massive steals for anyone to claim.
Honda Civic Type R (FN2) - £2,400
The Honda Civic Type R is soon going to be discontinued in the UK and Europe, but luckily there are a number of used vehicles.
There is a red Honda Civic FN2-gen from 2007, going for £2.4K.
This car combines a "lively" 197bhp nat-asp four-pot with a six-speed manual.
It is known for its angular styling, as a three-door hatchback, and has a naturally aspirated K20 engine.
The motor can provide an engaging driving experience as it packs one of the all-time great four-cylinder engines.
Citroen C6 - £2000 to £3000
This is a spacious and comfortable car that has been found from 2007 going for as low as £2K.
Top Gear have described the C6 as "massively underrated" and "equally effective at a supermarket run as it is during a cross-continental hall.
"Bonkers, too."
It's interior is primarily leather, with some wood trim.
For Your Eyes Only, Official Trailer
There are three available in either silver, navy blue or black from Autotrader.
The car's power is provided by a 208bhp turbo-diesel six-cylinder.
Audi S4 Cariolet (B7) - £2,499
Apart from being a sleek looking convertible motor, the Audi S4 also has a great teach suite.
It includes front and rear parking sensors, as well as cruise control.
The car's outputs are 339bhp, 302lb ft, 0-60mph in 6.2 seconds, and a top speed of 155mph.
One being sold on Auto Trader is a clean black model, with red leather seats from 2006.
Abarth 500 - £2,495 to £2,995
There are a number of used Abarth 500 vehicles up for sale.
The lowest is a red Abarth 500 going for £2,495.
They have been considered a "punchy" and "sporty" vehicle that can be bought for below budget.
They also contain 17in petal-spoke alloys.
BMW 3 Series (E46) - £2,400
There is a blue BMW 325Ci from 2002 going for a good price at £2.4K.
It has black leather seats and polished wood along the dashboard.
Beneath the bonnet, the motor carries just under 200bhp, hooked up to a manual box.
It was a bestselling BMW, coming in the German automaker's range of compact executive cars.

Nissan 300ZX (Z31) - £3000
This is a classic motor, with a removable targa roof and stainless steel exhaust.
There is a rare one for sale on eBay at a bargain price, that has a gloss purple finish and has been kept in a container for most of its life.
The 1984 vehicle looks in great condition, with just a 70,000-mile life so far.
With bidding, it is likely to exceed the £3K mark as an excellent steal.
Volvo C30 - £2,499
This is a squat, wedged Volvo C30 hatchback from 2009.
It is coming with a roof rack top, with a tow bar and two-door R-Design.
The current owner has described that car as an "ideal daily runabout", that "looks and drives great".
Fiat Cinquecento - £2,150
This listing is an homage to the little Fiat from The Inbetweeners.
It is a replica that is painted yellow, with a red door.
It also has a sunroof and an excellent blue-cream cabin.
The seller states the car was "a non runner, but it's had an eco replacement, full service and no all running fine".
With just a little age related wear and tear, and the breaks needing a bit of work, it could be hard to find a cleaner one.

Subaru's 279-mile E-Outback is coming to the UK next year with 376bhp
Subaru's 279-mile E-Outback is coming to the UK next year with 376bhp Want your raised 4x4 estate with a sub-five-second 0-62mph time and lots of body armour? Here ya go Skip 1 photos in the image carousel and continue reading Turn on Javascript to see all the available pictures. Subaru's all-new 'E-Outback' - known as the Trailseeker in the US - will land in the UK next summer, and it'll aim to be just as focused on getting muddy as the combustion version. That trusty symmetrical all-wheel drive system remains, while the dual e-motors combine for 376bhp and 0-62mph in 4.4s. Expect 279 miles of range out of a fully juiced 74.7kWh pack. Advertisement - Page continues below The E-Outback gets extra doses of heavy plastic cladding around the arches and bumpers, plus a heady 210mm of ground clearance. It'll tow up to 1.5 tonnes of stuff with a trailer hitched up, too. Cabin details remain tight for now, but we do know it'll get a 14in multimedia screen, various active and passive safety systems, and the familiar suite of terrain modes (think gravel, mud, snow, etc) to keep you going just about anywhere. Subaru has also confirmed the E-Outback is scheduled to arrive shortly after the new Uncharted SUV, though pricing has yet to be disclosed.

Want a three-seater performance car? Here are nine of them
Advertisement No surprises here. Overseen by Gordon Murray and powered by a 6.1-litre, 627bhp V12 created by BMW's engine genius Paul Rosche, the F1 is regarded as one of the greatest sportscars ever built. It remains one of the most furiously sought-after cars, too, with notable past and present owners including Elon Musk, Rowan Atkinson, and Jay Leno. They'd make for an interesting road trip trio... Advertisement - Page continues below Is this the coolest EV in history? The Nissan BladeGlider was first revealed to the world as a concept in 2013, and we had a go in it a couple of years later. Similar to the McLaren F1, the central driver's seat was flanked by one each side and slightly behind, while drive came from two independent electric motors, with a combined power output of 268bhp. Nissan initially suggested that it would make showrooms, but just two were built. Shame. You might like Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG004S Meet the Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus SCG004S. Ok, it's not a particularly pretty name, but the specs? Sheesh. Thanks to its all carbon construction, it apparently weighs just 1,179kg – less than a suitcase more than the McLaren F1 – with power coming from a mid-engined twin-turbo V8 with 641bhp and 531lb ft of torque. Advertisement - Page continues below Introduced in 1973 and perhaps best known for its three-abreast seating, the Bagheera was the product of co-operation between French conglomerate Matra and Chrysler-owned Simca. An affordable, mid-engined, rear-wheel-drive sports coupe with a small, naturally aspirated engine and a manual gearbox, a handful survive today in the hands of a group of enthusiasts. And yes, it really was named after the Jungle Book character. Photo: Bonhams Auctions In 1980, the Murena was unveiled as the Bagheera's replacement. Despite the disappointment of not continuing the Jungle Book character theme, it offered better aerodynamics and arguably more style, improved corrosion resistance, and most essentially for all enthusiasts, more power, thanks to its 2.2-litre Talbot Tagora engine. Sadly, politics between Peugeot-Talbot and Matra saw the Murena prematurely halted in 1985. Photo: Anglia Car Auctions Ferrari 365 P Berlinetta Speciale Here's one you might not have heard of – a three-seat Ferrari. Unofficially nicknamed Tre Posti , meaning three-seater in Italian, it was conceived by Sergio Pininfarina and based on a design by Aldo Brovarone, who would later design the Dino. Unveiled at the Paris show of '66, underneath sat a race-derived 4.4-litre V12 and mechanics taken from Ferrari's 365 P2. Head of Fiat Gianni Agnelli was said to have loved it so much he ordered another one built, with only two ever created, and the first – a white coloured 365 – as recently as 2014 put up for auction... where a bid of $23m was rejected. Photo: Gooding & Company Auctions The McLaren Speedtail is the fourth car in the firm's Ultimate Series, after the Senna, the P1, and the F1, and offers three seats, a stratospheric top speed – 250mph – and a price tag – £1.75m – that's similarly out of this world. Still, that gets you 1,055bhp and 848lb ft – the highest of any McLaren road car – and enough for 0–186mph in 13 seconds. Oh, and guaranteed fun for you and two mates. Which, in our opinion, is quite frankly priceless. Advertisement - Page continues below And so we come full circle, to the spiritual successor to the McLaren F1. Gordon Murray's £2.8 million T.50 is a 963kg, 654bhp three-seater that aims to right the 'wrongs' of the McLaren F1 – his words, not ours. Indeed, the T.50 shares many features with the F1, including a central driving position with two passenger seats flanking the driver, a naturally aspirated V12, a six-speed manual gearbox, dihedral doors, fan assisted ground effect aerodynamics, and a laser focus on saving weight. The result, as we found out over a near 900-mile roadtrip, is rather spectacular... It's been built to celebrate 30 years since the company's outright win at the 1995 Le Mans 24hrs. It's spun off a 'modern' McLaren platform. There's a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, lots of aero, a big wing, and most importantly... three seats! "Three seats, luggage space, enhanced range; something drivers could, and wanted, to use," said boss Dean Lanzante of his new creation. "We wanted to deliver the same enjoyment and passion of buying and owning a classic car but in a contemporary way. Full focus on what the driver needs and wants, with a blend of modern technologies but pared back to maintain driver focus.' Read the full story here.

MG Cyberster - long-term review - Report No:5 2025
I want to talk about the Ford Kuga plug-in hybrid… said no-one ever. Bear with me while we jog down memory lane. Ford delivered a Kuga PHEV for a test in mid-March 2020. Over five years ago now – jeez. Doesn't time fly? I happened to take it home one evening. Advertisement - Page continues below It sticks in my memory because it came just as Covid struck. The virus was already rife across Europe and was gaining blanket news coverage in Britain, but we didn't engage lockdown until mid-March. With the stay-at-home order in place, Ford couldn't collect their shiny new Kuga, so it also stayed at home. With me. For three months. This was novel because I'd never lived with an electrified car for so long. 2020 was a different time – when EVs were rare, curious creatures. The Nissan Leaf, the Renault Zoe… that was about all you were likely to see whistling around on British roads. It might've been the sheer tedium of no regular travel, but during my once-a-week government-mandated trip to the supermarket, the Kuga was a bit of a delight. I enjoyed whooshing about with the engine off, watching the engine mpg readout click upwards into infinity. I liked the sense of re-gen braking adding otherwise wasted energy back into the battery. But most of all, I liked the reaction from other people to its peacefulness. Obviously it made the usual 'warp-hum' noises at parking speed to avoid smooshing absent-minded day-walkers in the Lidl car park. But – and perhaps this was the sense of comradery that came out of the pandemic – people seemed to appreciate this big lumbering family car moving about in such a quiet, non-polluting manner. Advertisement - Page continues below Five years later, I'm living with a pure EV for the very first time. It's my daily-driver, my airport run shuttle, my commuter, my Sunday funster, the supermarket sweeper and a pain in the backside when I spy some do-uppable furniture on Facebook marketplace and can't collect it in a two-seater drop-top.
