Volkswagen Passat CC
1.8 TSI 4d

2009/09
List price: £21,135
Deal price: £17,990
Saving: £3,145

The idea of a four-door, four-seat coupé was introduced with the Mercedes-Benz CLS in 2005, and Volkswagen tried to repeat some of this success with the more affordable Passat CC (comfort coupé). It is possible to find examples of this well equipped four-seater from about £18,000 already registered to dealers. This is more than £3000 lower than the official on-the-road price.

Mazda RX-8
(192ps) 4d

2004/04 34000 miles
Parker's price: £6,435
Deal price: £5,995
Saving: £440

Mazda's RX-8 is a practical four-seat coupé and used prices for average mileage models start at about £6000 for the base 192bhp car and about £7000 for the 231bhp model. We found a private seller advertising their 192bhp model for £5995, while, with metallic paint, our recommended value for a this car in good condition would be £6435. However, beware the RX-8 is thirsty and attracts high road tax.
