Cars up to £200

One of the cheapest cars we have to lease is the Kia Picanto. It’s the perfect city car or small car to get you from A to B and is also really popular as a first choice for drivers who have just passed their test. It’s worth noting that the running costs are cheap, with low insurance group listings across all trim levels.

If you buy a car it depreciates in value over the time you own it. However, if you choose to sell it after a period of time, you will get some money back. But that amount depends on its age, condition and the current market. With leasing, you pay an agreed monthly fee, based on the make/model, length of time you intend to keep the car and the expected mileage per year. This gives you the benefit of driving a brand new car without paying an expensive upfront cost; plus road tax is included. It’s important to note that you have to return the lease car at the end of the agreement with no option to buy the vehicle.
