(Silver Spring, MD) - Discovery Networks International (DNI) today announced a new original series that guides viewers down the insider's road of the used car trade on an international scale. WHEELER DEALERS TRADING UP, an all-new 6x60 series from X2 Productions, Ltd., follows Mike Brewer, the ultimate used car trader, as he hits the road on an automobile adventure. WHEELER DEALERS: TRADING UP will premiere on Discovery Channel in 217 countries across Europe, Middle-East, Africa, Asia-Pacific and Latin America in April 2013.

In WHEELER DEALERS TRADING UP, Mike begins with just $3,000 with ambitions to buy, bargain, and blaze his way towards a $30,000 goal to purchase a super car at auction. Big profits means an even bigger market, so Mike must hit the highway to track down motor gold. From Kolkata to the UK, from Mexico to the Middle East, Mike must buy and sell his way towards automotive success in his most ambitious attempts ever, pushing his abilities to new limits. Viewers will travel with Mike on his epic journey as he moves from one deal to the next, spots motor bargains, fixes up cars for sale, and trades up across the globe.
