My original post removed and Edited by Ali. Sorry, Not recommended after all as it does not mention Bluetooth in the specs. XL from Halfords.
But this does -
VIA 130 Refurbished from Tescos.
And so does this Refurbished Go750 from TT.
I'm against anything new by TT (price -v- spec), hence my suggestions.
Another Edit - but the maps shall be a few years old.

After taking the availability of Lifetime Free Maps with the newer devices I am surprised that you promote that position. |

Well I'm not surprised - I bought a GO1005 Live and wish I hadn't!

Me too, Ali, so I thought I'd grab a refurbed 750 while they're still around as a back up for my 720, which I don't think is going to last much longer. At £89 with the 10% discount code from SatNav-Discounts (AffiaccyRef2 - ends today) it was within my means.
Thanks for the heads-up, but sadly, although it's still listed on your link there's no "Buy" button, so it would seem it's no longer available. 
I shall keep checking in case they get some more in.

But I do.
as justbrowsing said in the post above mine | Quote: | | Has to be a personal choice... |
and my suggestions are just that. I prefer the older devices. I'm not interested in LM. If TT released a new model on old software and lifetime, flawless maps, I'd probably change my mind.
The OP is asking for recommendations for a Budget TT with Bluetooth. Both the links above are cheap and offer Bluetooth. As they are "Old" I understand them and I'm happy to put them forward for consideration.
@DennisN & Anita, thanks for letting me know I'm not alone. Sorry the 750 wasn't available for you Anita.
@chipmonk, good luck with your selection.
Edited, or rather, rant at TT deleted and post re-written.
