EPISODE 5 - NEWS, VIEWS, PICTURES & LINKS FROM THE SHOW

Join Jason Dawe and Penny Mallory for another great Used Car Roadshow. This week Jason and Penny help policeman Sam Donati find a smart and sporty used car. He gets to choose from an Audi A4 TDi, a Mercedes 230 CLK and a BMW 5 series. Sam will have to pick his 2 favourites and you can watch him as he takes them out for a spin. The question is:  Will he decide to part with his cash and buy the car of his dreams?

Penny gives us the low down on how to spot a used car that has been clocked, or had its mileage altered. It's the sort of information you must have if you're planning to get value for money in a used car.

Out on the road Zoe Hardman takes prospective buyer Richard Myatt to Independent Motor Auctions to see if he can find a runaround for about £500. The auction is the perfect place to be if you want to find a bargain and Zoe is determined that Richard won't have to walk home!

 Spot the Sheriff

Make way for the Dodge Charger, a beast of a car which nearly fills the workshop and has some of the audience going misty eyed with memories of the 70's TV series, the Dukes of Hazzard.

In this week's Body and Soul feature stars a Subaru Impreza which has been pimped to perfection. It's red, it's shiny and it's got all the bells and whistles.

Resident motor technician ‘Pipes’ shows us how to stay safe and save money by doing our own engine checks.

Jason shows us how he's calculated that you can run a Ssang Yong Musso for a year and not suffer any depreciation in price when it comes to selling in his Free Motoring feature.

Jason has also got a couple of surprising deals of the week, the Ford Focus and the Honda Integra. He thinks they are a great buy at the moment and he tells us why.

We hope you enjoy the show.

Happy motoring!
