[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find out which car is the cheapest, we need to calculate the final price of each car after applying the discount.

For the first car:
15% of £8495 is (15/100) * £8495 = £1274.25
Therefore, the discounted price of the first car is £8495 - £1274.25 = £7220.75

For the second car:
12% of £8195 is (12/100) * £8195 = £983.40
Therefore, the discounted price of the second car is £8195 - £983.40 = £7211.60

Hence, the second car is cheaper with a price of £7211.60.
