Doug Demuro Sells his Aston

Finally we can stop seeing idiot videos from this tool. I wasted 3 min of my life I wish I could have gotten back watching him drive fast in an open salt flat and acting scared. BUT......... It gets even better.

The car was sold to a new tool. Guy posts about 11 years late about his new to him AM V8 Vantage (Doug Demuro's) and how there is this amazing new trick to make your exhaust louder (ie... pull the fuse). Funny thing is he has Pennsylvania plates and says he lives in Florida with his mom. I cannot believe people get paid for writing that stuff for websites. Tavarish works at one of the places Doug did from my understanding.


Enjoy

sorry i'm not sorry since i don't share the same opinion as you on this. i find doug's videos to be funny and entertaining, far from some serious objective reviews (although he has occasional moments as well). i also find it interesting this "new tool" contacted doug almost immediately after his initial purchase to try to work out a deal for him to pick it up after doug was done. not everyone is fortunate enough to own an aston, ever, i applaud him for the fact that he planned and saved in order to make his dream a reality. to each their own.

as for the PA plates, i think that's doug's old plates and he just hasn't swapped to new FL plates yet.

Yep, it is like watching a train wreck. The only thing that has been repeated several times is the price of the transaction between these two, $36,000. This is for a 2007 with 60k miles. A car that looks rather worn in the videos posted. The bottom of the front bumper inlet is damaged and the car needs some paintwork. Not to mention it has been ran hard by Doug; some of which was documented in his videos.

Tavarish made a statement that people do not do much to these cars nor work on them in their own garage. He needs to take a look around this forum. There are plenty of us here that do just that.

I get messages and emails from people around the world that work on their Astons. To say people don't work on them in their garages is flat-out false.

2nd. And he has said many times of late that the Aston has been incredibly reliable, and he attributes the problems he had in the beginning to the fact that the car sat at a dealership for a long time.

Was a nice guy, in person, too.

All I can say is hooray hurrah no more write ups from this troll about Aston Martin. I did not find him amusing nor informative nor witty nor accomplished nor interesting. As I've mentioned many times before I found his writing skills to be quite pedantic. Now he can buy something more his speed like an old Toyota FJ and drive it through rivers mud and off road.

You know some people just rub you the wrong way, he is one of those. I don't like anything about what he does, period.

If it wasn't for you guys, I wouldn't know who he is. I still don't, really. And I don't watch his videos. Then again I'm not a fan of Jalopnik and I do my own reviews and driving.

Cringe worthy videos... I guess one can find it a little unsettling Mr. Demuro acquired an example of our beloved brand. However, would someone such as he really buy one if not part of his enterprise ? Hopefully this may provide consolation....
