Market watch – new and used deals

Lexus RX

Petrol off-roaders are not popular just now, for obvious reasons. But what to do if you want an economical Lexus RX? It’s not available with a diesel engine, but before forking out the extra for the hybrid version, check out UK Car Discount.

They’re offering a special edition RX 350 LE on a 58-plate with delivery miles for £27,650. That’s £7,102 off, and there’s even a choice of colours.

Toyota Verso

Looking for a good deal on a people carrier? We spotted this bargain at Drive the Deal. A new, unregistered metallic black Toyota Verso in well-equipped SR trim with powerful 2.2 diesel engine for £15,950. List price is £18,965, so that’s a saving of £3,015.

Ford Fiesta

The new Ford Fiesta arrives any day now, so now’s the time for killer deals on the old model. Here’s one: Drive the Deal has a five mile old 08-plate three-door 1.25 petrol in decent Zetec Climate trim (which includes air conditioning) for £8,000. That’s a £2,650 saving.
