Is this the UK’s cheapest new car?

Times are hard in most financial markets, but that doesn’t mean you can treat yourself to a new car.


Motor Depot in East Yorkshire have just introduced their latest bargain bucket car the Chevrolet Spark. You will get £210 change from £6000, which could well be the UK’s cheapest new car.


A brand new 2014 (63) Chevrolet Spark comes in a selection of great colours, two which we can be seen below. They are very jazzy and bright, perfect for this funky little car.
