How does a £4,000 discount on one of the newest and highest-rated hot hatchbacks of 2010 sound? We’ve looked up an internet broker offering a deal on Renaultsport’s new Megane 250 which is so incredible that we can hardly believe it ourselves.

Go to AutoeBid.com and you’ll find a deal to buy a brand new, unregistered Megan 250 Cup – a car we described in our road test as “exceptionally talented” – from just £20,519.

Your saving will be even bigger than that if you’re interested in a few options. One buyer using the site, who specced his 250 Cup up to more than £27,000 at list price, actually landed it for just £22,764, saving £4,500 at a stroke. Call 0800 033 6022 for more.
