Car Dealer issue 168 is available now, and it’s crammed with automotive news, views, reviews, features and more.
Here’s a sneak peek at what the Car Dealer team have been working on…
Investigations
With used car prices having risen by up to 70 per cent last year as people scrambled for second-hand motors because of long delays for new vehicles, we look at the makes and models that went up the most in value.
And in the second of this magazine’s two investigations, we ask which dealer group from a dwindling number could be next in line for a buyout.
Features
Among this month’s features, we get up close and personal with the Gordon Murray Automotive T.33 supercar, and bring you a range of cool products to treat yourself (or someone else!) to.
Columns
- Car Dealer founder James Baggott ponders the nightmare scenario of artificial intelligence of the future having to make a deadly choice
- Big Mike lightens the mood again as he recalls the time an elderly woman taught him a nerve-racking lesson about judging books by covers

Forecourt
Three new versions of cars are put to the test this month – the Audi RS 3, Skoda Fabia and BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe – with Jack Evans and Ted Welford giving their expert views.
Round-ups
