Mike Brewer’s the Wheeler Dealer Know How! cover

Millions follow Mike and Edd's collectable car adventures on Discovery Channel's Wheeler Dealer series, now in its ninth year and shown all around the world. Here's the book to accompany the series. See Mike's video introduction below. The Wheeler Dealer Know How! is written by Mike Brewer, cheeky chappie and TV's best-known car dealing expert. In a career spanning almost 30 years, Mike has seen and done everything when it comes to buying and selling cars, and having established a successful career as a television presenter, is eager to share his knowledge, passion and enthusiasm for cars. Telling you all you need to know about buying, preparing and selling modern classic cars, this book guides you through the minefield that is the world of car dealing, and helps you avoid the pitfalls that await the unwary. Plus, with stories and anecdotes from Mike’s time in the trade, you'll gain a fascinating insight into the world of wheeler-dealing. Packed full of information and tips, The Wheeler Dealer Know How will give you the confidence to buy the car of your dreams and avoid ending up with a lemon. You’ll find out how to prepare a car to expert standards – from cleaning, to repairs and improvements – and when the time comes to sell, Mike tells you how to get the best price and avoid being ripped-off.

'Fixing cars up and selling them for a profit is a fun way to make money, and Auto Express contributor Mike Brewer has huge experience of doing it from his Wheeler Dealers TV series. In this entertaining book, he spells out some techniques, before providing tips on everything from hot hatches, cabrios and 4x4s to classics and US models.' Auto Express, May 2013 '... everything you need to know about buying, preparing and selling modern classic cars, guiding you through the minefield of car dealing, and helping you to avoid the pitfalls that await the unwary. With stories and anecdotes from Mike's time in the trade, it provides a fascinating insight into the world of wheeler-dealing.' Book Time, April 2013 'Whether you're buying or selling, looking for a classic, a sports car or a hot hatch, Mike tells you everything you need to know before you get started ... right down to which colour is the best for particular models.' The Daily Star It's bound like a Beano annual, and the cover looks quite cartoony, but don't let that fool you. The contents impart Mike's knowledge from a lifetime in the motor trade in the same style that's made him famous on the TV ... shot through with Mike's humour and easy style. It's not heavy going and if you start reading it you probably will carry on to the end. ... It's an enjoyable book which you can read through and then come back and refer to individual chapters as and when the moment takes you. But, beware, it can induce potentially wallet denting sessions on eBay. I found myself looking up Mk1 Escorts and Minis after reading it. Thoroughly recommended. Speedmonkey
