Save more than £7k on a Peugeot 407

Peugeot 407 reduced by up to £7,200

Drive the Deal has a stack of Peugeot 407 turbodiesel models available with discounts of up to £7,200.

Most are 2.0-litre HDi 140 saloon manuals in Sport specification, though you can choose a 2.0 HDi 136 automatic for £17,195 with a £6,890 saving, or a 1.6 HDi 110 SW estate in SR trim for £15,795 with a £6,350 reduction. Exact specification varies with optional extras but virtually all are 59-plate examples, complete with six months' road tax.

The exception is an 09-plate saloon, which at just £15,245 is nearly a third less than its current £22,445 list. That £7,200 will go a long way over Christmas, we’re sure.

Big discounts on the new Mazda3

Save over £3,600 on a Mazda3

Finally, you’ll need to move fast but UK Car Discount has a great deal on a Mazda3 Sport.

It’s the 2.2-litre 150 turbodiesel model, complete with black leather, electric seats, parking sensors and Celestial blue paintwork. At £16,811, the broker reckons it’s saving you £3,607 over the price of an equivalent car at list. It's a solid reduction on a top-end example of a fine alternative to a or .
