Explanation:
Haciendo referencia al refrán "A grandes males, grandes remedios", se me ocurre que puedes usar esto, que ya expresa "trouble" (males) y luego "descuentos" (en lugar de remedios).

Qué importa / Oferta


Explanation:
"High car prices?" "Big Deal" = ¿El alto precio de los autos? Qué importa.

"Big Deal" = Qué importa.

Por otra parte, "deal' es una "oferta".

No entiendo nada lo de "trouble", "deal" no se refiere a eso. En español la misma palabra no cabe en ambas acepciones.

Al mal tiempo buena cara.


Explanation:
Creo que puede encajar en este contexto ya que expresa problemas y al mismo tiempo soluciones.
La frase podría quedar así:
¿Precios muy altos en el mercado automovilístico? ¡Al mal tiempo buena cara! Tenemos grandes descuentos/ofertas para Ud.

Espero te sirva.
