With some manufacturer-backed
schemes with tiny deposits, our story
doesn’t work so well, unless you add
the cost of the credit. When you go for
the really easy payment options with
0% over a shorter period, then the
amount paid up front becomes used
supermini money. There are loads
to choose from and the key is to find
pristine one-family-owner examples.

E-HDI AIRDREAM,

Here is a less-obvious option,
with fewer doors but arguably a
touch more style. You pay zero road
tax for this one, too. This particular
example was at a dealer, so it came
w i th a r e a s su r i n g wa r ra nt y to p u t
your mind at rest.

New saloons aren’t a growth area
unless they have the right badge.
It says something, though, when
Audi has to give buyers a £3k deposit
sweetner to tempt them in. The Black
Edition doesn’t have to be an Audi,
especially when there are sharper
BMW and Mercedes alternatives
to be enjoyed.

2012 ALFA ROMEO 159 1.8 LUSS0,
44,000 miles, £8995
Why follow the crowd by sticking with the dull
old Germans when the Italians can look this
good? A 159 is lovely to look at and drive. The
one we saw also had a full service history that
included a new cambelt and water pump.
The mileage is still pretty small, too, so
here is the Alfa you always
promised yourself.
