The Dealership

This new three-part documentary series looks under the bonnet of an Essex used car dealership to reveal the secrets of ‘flogging motors’.

Britain is a nation of car lovers. After our homes, a car is the most expensive thing we’ll ever splash out on. Some people are willing to go thousands of pounds into debt to drive the car of their dreams and, thanks to the likes of Arthur Daley, used car dealers are as trusted as estate agents, politicians and journalists…

Filmed at Essex Car Company, a family-run used car dealership in Rainham, Dealers shows the reality behind the patter, and how, with finances tight, customers are giving dealers more of a run for their money than ever before.
