The used cars were found by Top Gear this week, as massive steals for anyone to claim.
Honda Civic Type R (FN2) - £2,400
The Honda Civic Type R is soon going to be discontinued in the UK and Europe, but luckily there are a number of used vehicles.
There is a red Honda Civic FN2-gen from 2007, going for £2.4K.
This car combines a "lively" 197bhp nat-asp four-pot with a six-speed manual.
It is known for its angular styling, as a three-door hatchback, and has a naturally aspirated K20 engine.
The motor can provide an engaging driving experience as it packs one of the all-time great four-cylinder engines.
Citroen C6 - £2000 to £3000
This is a spacious and comfortable car that has been found from 2007 going for as low as £2K.
Top Gear have described the C6 as "massively underrated" and "equally effective at a supermarket run as it is during a cross-continental hall.
"Bonkers, too."
It's interior is primarily leather, with some wood trim.
For Your Eyes Only, Official Trailer
There are three available in either silver, navy blue or black from Autotrader.
The car's power is provided by a 208bhp turbo-diesel six-cylinder.
Audi S4 Cariolet (B7) - £2,499
Apart from being a sleek looking convertible motor, the Audi S4 also has a great teach suite.
It includes front and rear parking sensors, as well as cruise control.
The car's outputs are 339bhp, 302lb ft, 0-60mph in 6.2 seconds, and a top speed of 155mph.
One being sold on Auto Trader is a clean black model, with red leather seats from 2006.
Abarth 500 - £2,495 to £2,995
There are a number of used Abarth 500 vehicles up for sale.
The lowest is a red Abarth 500 going for £2,495.
They have been considered a "punchy" and "sporty" vehicle that can be bought for below budget.
They also contain 17in petal-spoke alloys.
BMW 3 Series (E46) - £2,400
There is a blue BMW 325Ci from 2002 going for a good price at £2.4K.
It has black leather seats and polished wood along the dashboard.
Beneath the bonnet, the motor carries just under 200bhp, hooked up to a manual box.
It was a bestselling BMW, coming in the German automaker's range of compact executive cars.

Nissan 300ZX (Z31) - £3000
This is a classic motor, with a removable targa roof and stainless steel exhaust.
There is a rare one for sale on eBay at a bargain price, that has a gloss purple finish and has been kept in a container for most of its life.
The 1984 vehicle looks in great condition, with just a 70,000-mile life so far.
With bidding, it is likely to exceed the £3K mark as an excellent steal.
Volvo C30 - £2,499
This is a squat, wedged Volvo C30 hatchback from 2009.
It is coming with a roof rack top, with a tow bar and two-door R-Design.
The current owner has described that car as an "ideal daily runabout", that "looks and drives great".
Fiat Cinquecento - £2,150
This listing is an homage to the little Fiat from The Inbetweeners.
It is a replica that is painted yellow, with a red door.
It also has a sunroof and an excellent blue-cream cabin.
The seller states the car was "a non runner, but it's had an eco replacement, full service and no all running fine".
With just a little age related wear and tear, and the breaks needing a bit of work, it could be hard to find a cleaner one.

BMW is crafting a 'street legal track day pack' for the bombastic little M2
BMW is crafting a 'street legal track day pack' for the bombastic little M2 Swan neck rear wing and more aggressive front lip? Yes please Skip 4 photos in the image carousel and continue reading Turn on Javascript to see all the available pictures. 1 / 4 Hot on the heels of the fighty M2 CS is this new road-legal 'track pack' upgrade for Bimmer's baby M car, arriving next year with a feisty new attitude. It's been developed by the M Performance Parts team - most likely for the standard M2 - and the most obvious change is the angled swan neck rear wing and front splitter extension. There's a red tow hook thrown in too, because… track pack. Advertisement - Page continues below Essentially, everything that's been covered up by that black and white prototype livery looks to have been tweaked in some form, likely for more aero, def for more aggression. And how cool are those new wheels? Very, is the answer. No word on any additional oomph from that 3.0-litre twin-turbo straight-six, but any potential increase will sit between the standard car's 473bhp and the CS's mighty 523bhp. BMW said it's been testing this track pack around the 'Ring, but just how close it'll get to the CS' time of 7m 30s remains to be seen. More as we get it.

Huge crisis-hit car brand to shut its flagship factory with 2,400 workers in ‘tough but necessary decision'
The move is part of the company's aim to restructure its business in order to turnaround its fortunes SKIDDING HALT Huge crisis-hit car brand to shut its flagship factory with 2,400 workers in 'tough but necessary decision' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A STRUGGLING car manufacturer is to shut its flagship factory which employs 2,400 workers, with its boss calling it a 'tough but necessary decision'. Vehicle production at Nissan's Oppama plant in Kanagawa Prefecture south of Tokyo, will end at the end of the 2027 fiscal year, in March 2028, the Japanese automaker said today.

The Oppama plant has been a prized symbol for Nissan Motor Corp., which rolled out its Leaf electric car there in 2010, ahead of key rivals. Chief Executive Ivan Espinosa, who took on the job in April, said the decision was extremely difficult, calling the Oppama plant an icon for Nissan. He promised employees will be treated fairly and responsibly, with transfer offers to other locations, or other work in the area in consultation with the trade union. The plant now employs 2,400 people. 'I believe it's a vital step toward overcoming our current challenges and building a sustainable future,' he said. 'The world is changing by the minute,' he told reporters at a news conference at Nissan's Yokohama headquarters. Espinosa said the company was in talks on possibly selling the factory land, or using it for another purpose. He declined to give details. Even if a buyer is not found, the decision on ending production will not change, he added. New Nissan Leaf tested - it's bigger, better and goes further The plant's closure was expected, as the maker of the Infiniti luxury models and March subcompact has said repeatedly that it is restructuring its operations to boost its profitability, including by consolidating production sites. Nissan says the tariff policies of US President Donald Trump have hurt its bottom line. Earlier this year, Nissan said it was slashing about 15% of its global work force, or about 20,000 employees, which would include a 9,000 head count reduction announced late last year, including in China. The company has been racking up losses, hurt by slipping vehicle sales in China and elsewhere, huge restructuring costs and ballooning inventories. Earlier this year, Nissan said it's reducing the number of its auto plants to 10 from 17 to create a leaner, more resilient business. At that time, it didn't say which plants were being closed but confirmed the closures will include factories in Japan. It's also reducing production capacity to 2.5 million units from 3.5 million. The latest announcement concludes the production closures in Japan, according to Espinosa. Nissan racked up a loss of 670.9 billion yen (£3.36 billion) for the fiscal year through March, down from a 426.6 billion yen (£2.14 billion) profit recorded in the previous fiscal year. Espinosa replaced Makoto Uchida, who stepped down to take responsibility for the faltering results.
