The new edition of Car Dealer is available now – and it’s crammed with all sorts of automotive goodness!

Issue 195 is free to read and download – here’s a taste of what we’ve got for you this month…

Dashboard

Once again, we’ve been spoiled for choice when it comes to news stories, with some real biggies that we felt needed more space to breathe.

That means we’ve got three pages of major news items in this section, accompanied by the launch of Bangers4Ben 2024 plus a thought-provoking piece on the demise of the manual transmission.

Features

There’s success in car sales, there’s big success – and then there’s Tom Hartley Jnr!

For the latest episode of our Selling Supercars video series, we were given exclusive access to the man who last year made a £20.1m profit on a £181m turnover after shifting just 77 cars. He discusses what makes him tick – and opens up about the split from his father.

We also bring you our regular selection of the coolest products to splash your cash on.

Forecourt

There’s a trio of road tests for you in issue 195, with James Batchelor, Jack Evans and Cameron Richards getting to grips with the refreshed Audi A3 Sportback, Mercedes-Benz’s open-top version of its CLE model, plus our cover star – the second-generation Skoda Kodiaq.

Columns

• Our ever-popular mystery used car dealer Big Mike has one or two things to get off his chest about the rise of artificial intelligence
• Meanwhile, James Batchelor notices something rather curious about the Italians as he holidays at Lake Como
