Deals of the week from heycar

Get a great deal on a used Mercedes A-Class, Ford Kuga or BMW 3 Series this week

There's something reassuring about driving a car with a desirable badge. And if you're in the market for a new set of wheels from the right brand but don't want to pay a premium, the Mercedes A-Class has you covered.

If you need a little more space, but don't want to shell out on purchase price or running costs, a plug-in hybrid version of the Ford Kuga could be worth a look. The example we've spotted has barely turned a wheel, but comes with a big discount.

Few cars stand head and shoulders above the rest of their class competition, but the BMW 3 Series is one of them. We've spotted a deal on a 320i M Sport that's hard to resist.. As with the cars above, it's available from a main dealer and you can pay cash or with a competitive PCP deal.

Deals of the week in detail

2020 Mercedes A180 Sport Executive for £17,245 or £218 a month

If you're keen to drive a car with a premium badge but don't want to spend a fortune, the Mercedes A-Class could be right up your street. The current A-Class is the best yet, and arrived in 2018 with a seriously impressive infotainment system, decent interior and a comfortable drive. It's not the most practical option, but the A-Class does enough to earn its three-pointed star Mercedes badge.

This single-owner Mercedes A-Class has covered less than 19,000 miles in the last five years. It's petrol powered and comes in Sport Executive trim. Offered by a Mercedes main dealer, there's plenty to like about this barely driven example of Mercedes' smallest car.

Price: £17,245
Monthly payments: £218, plus £4582 deposit

2024 Ford Kuga PHEV ST-Line X Edition for £26,326 or £408 a month

The Ford Kuga is a competitive choice if you're looking for a value-packed family SUV. While new prices are high, you get what you pay for, as the Kuga is well equipped across the range, and all models are spacious and drive well. Petrol, hybrid and plug-in hybrid versions are available, and used prices can be quite the bargain.

This one-owner Ford Kuga features a plug-in hybrid powertrain and has completed just over 1500 miles in 18 months. It cost £40,000 new, and, as it doesn't feature the latest facelift, it's priced competitively.

Price: £26,326
Monthly payments: £408, plus £4582 deposit
Mileage: 1543
Fuel type: Plug-in hybrid
Number of owners: 1

2024 BMW 320i M Sport for £30,549 or £396 a month

It might be an obvious choice, but there are many reasons why the BMW 3 Series remains the default premium sporting saloon. Despite being around since 2018, this version remains good to look at, while a big refresh of the interior in 2024 means the cabin still looks smart but is now packed full of up to date tech. The 3 Series is still the benchmark for driving experience in its class, too.

This one-owner petrol-powered BMW 320i comes in the popular M Sport trim. It cost over £42,000 just 18 months ago, so the miles are low and the price is competitive, especially as the car is offered by a main BMW dealer.
