Am I the only one that thinks this show is bollox when it comes to the profit part? Don't get me wrong, I actually enjoy the finding the car and putting it back together/into saleable condition, but Mike Brewer has to be the worst negotiator going. And I'd imagine if they added the cost of Ed's labour into the cost price they'd be making a loss on nearly everything.

Well you'd also have to think about the cost of the camera and sound crew too. The show is for entertainment and educational value. If one person did the buying, fixing and selling, there might be a profit to be had, but making a few hundred euro, or losing a few hundred is not on the producers mind for the show.

Absolutely, labour is always free and they always spend a fortune on some extra that's supposed to make the car valuable.

I only watch it for edd china working away, there's a lot of good tips in there. I just mentally switch off when that fat gnome comes on.

For all his supposed experience, mike always seems to buy high and sell low.

Say mike well able to deal on his tv contacts though. . .
I treat it as entertainment, sit back relax and enjoy.

Not to mention the teams of researchers finding the cars and tracing their common faults and finding examples of cars that always seem to have problems that are a lot easier to fix than you'd think.

It's all a farce really but it is enjoyable if you don't take it seriously.

I would have thought that every day on Turbo is a Wheeler Dealers special. They're on constant repeat and repeat and repeat and repeat.
