The new C3 is aiming to be just as affordable as the model it replaces - and offers like a £2,000 discount when part-exchanging any car that is seven years old or more, plus competitive finance packages, all mean that the C3 is still great value.

Apart from swappage, the cheapest way to secure a new C3 is with Citroen’s ‘Elect 4’ finance deal, at 4 years, it is longer than most, but the low £1,911 initial deposit and monthly payments of £199 at 6.9% APR make it a good deal for those on a budget. The annual mileage limit is set at a generous 10,000, and three years servicing (up to 35,000 miles) can be had for just £199.
If you don't have a car to swap, then don't worry - if you register your details before buying than Citroen will still give you £2,000 of any of the models in the C3 range as a 'Welcome Reward' without the need to swap an old banger.
