Deals on Wheels: Tonight

Monday 12 January
8:00pm - 8:30pm
ITV1 London

With the automotive industry in crisis and car prices plummeting, is this the time to pick up a bargain? Quentin Willson provides the ultimate guide to getting the most for your money, from trade-ins to second-hand vehicles. And is it worth ditching that gas guzzler?

Could be interesting, I have a lot of time for QW, talks a lot of good sense and realistic views......................

Nob with Shogun - "needs new tyres so that's a grand. . . . ."

Only if you buy them from a Mitsubishi Dealer and have them gold-plated you hopeless cock-end.

To be honest I was distracted by that Merc and just wondering why anyone would ever pay any money for such a lovely colour.

Girl with the MacBook is more interesting though.

will that mazda really lose more money?
You can pick up later models for 500-600 quid but they are reliable and are not expensive to repair, regardless of what Quentin says.

ETA: By later models I mean older models

Parameters man, parameters!

A Saab 93 Viggen is my idea of an economical city car!
