Franchised dealers discount new Captiva
Chevrolet is offering a diesel version of its Captiva 4x4 for the price of a petrol model until the end of the year.
Chevrolet dealers are now offering diesel 2.0VCDi five-seat models for £16,995 on the road instead of £18,445.
This saving is well worth having, but don’t be afraid of asking for a bigger discount. The offer only covers the entry-level five seat diesel, but many customers will appreciate the extra practicality of seven-seat versions.
Ask the dealer if the more expensive models could be discounted by a similar amount, or if there are any in stock already registered but unsold with even better deals.
BMW-designed Range Rover diesel from £13k

Once the peerless performer for resale values of both 4x4s and luxury cars, it is now a long time since the Range Rover has been flavour of the month with the used car trade.
Even diesel models — which should be easier to sell — are lingering on forecourts. We found a 2003 example of the high-specification HSE with 57,000 miles on the clock being offered for £13,000.
The BMW-sourced diesel isn’t particularly quick with 174bhp produced in this heavy vehicle, but should be good for 25mpg which is as good as can be expected in something so large. It is still a classy car and with a beautifully designed interior.
