WHEELER Dealers star Mike Brewer has revealed a “really strong” SUV that you can pick up for just £1,600.
The TV host says this model offers great value for money, making it a standout choice for buyers looking for a reliable and fun drive.
Mike rocketed to fame on the TV show Wheeler Dealers, where he uses his vehicular expertise to restore classic cars.
He often gives out helpful tips to fellow car lovers on his Ask Mike page online.
Now, he has told motorheads to take a punt on a Skoda Yeti if they are looking for an SUV.
Mike said that the small SUV could be an ideal pick with the model praised for its practicality.
The Wheeler Dealers star bigged up the Yeti, praising its roomy interior which is perfect for ferrying the kids and all their clobber without breaking the bank.
He reckons the Czech brand is churning out “great cars” and is urging second-hand shoppers to give the Yeti a proper look.
Speaking as part of a round-up of top used buys, Mike previously told Car Dealer Magazine that the plucky SUV is built on a solid VW platform.
And he’s clearly a fan of its get-stuck-in-and-go attitude.
Mike said: “If you’re looking for a bit more space for the family and you need to catty all that kit and caboodle around, then another recommendation would be the Skoda Yeti.
“Now this is a really strong car. It’s got a really good VW platform that sits underneath it.
“They are reliable, they are rough and tough. You can bash them round. They’ve got hard plastics on the inside.
“If they get stained on the seats, they clean up really well. Think about those littleuns’ in the back drinking their fruit juice. These cars are really hardy and that’s why I’d recommend a Skoda Yeti.”
Buyers are being reminded that final prices will depend on the car’s age, condition and mileage.
But savvy shoppers could snap up one of these rugged family wagons for less than ten grand.
According to used car experts at Parkers, Skoda Yeti models are priced between £1,680 and £13,110.
AutoTrader, the leading new and used car marketplace, has plenty of examples available for under the £10,000 mark.
Wheeler Dealers follows Mike and fellow presenters as they travel the country and attempted to restore and sell vintage cars.
It comes after Mike shared a photograph of himself and his former co-host Ant Anstead enjoying a couple of pints on his Instagram.
Former police officer, Ant took the reins for the show in 2017, replacing fan-favourite Edd China.
But petrol head Ant quit the show in 2020 after production moved from the US back to the UK.
Mike has recently reassured fans that another series of Wheeler Dealer: World tour is going ahead and will be filmed after his new project with Marc Priestley.
The presenter is also keeping busy featuring in an episode of Car SOS which renovates old cars owned by the public.
