Wheeler Dealers. Love that show, but it pains me seeing the prices of used cars there. Ferrari Dino for $10k...911 for less than $5k.

I knew the show too. LOVE it. I was going to reply, but saw there was a reply from Sam and I knew he'd have it.

I like that they give the prices in pounds, so then I just don't do the math so I can pretend the cars are a LOT more expensive.
Also, they NEVER reveal the mileage of the cars. So I just assume they are 150,000-250,000mi cars.

You'd be surprised about the mileage, it's nowhere near what you said though. There are a few cars with higher mileage, but most are "normal".

You should check used car prices in England, it's very depressing.
