Doug is the kind of guy to have 4 million subscribers, a Ford GT, Carrera GT, a successful car selling website, but only felt famous when driving his brand new defender lol
I'm sure his wife is a perfectly fine driver, but she's not Doug who drives a different car every few days. Getting used to a new car is a thing, and as such, mistakes are bound to happen.
I almost git a Defender, but ultimately decided on a Grand Cherokee Trailhawk instead. Its a fantastic vehicle, but maybe for my next vehicle I'll give the Defender a try. Maybe.
Doug is the type of guy to sell his Defender on his selling website and bid on his own vehicle that he is selling just to buy it back and make a video about buying a Defender from himself and talk about all the interesting quirks and features and interview himself as the buyer and seller and how great of a friendship they have and promise to stay in touch throughout the incoming years until its time to sell it again
Great honest review of the Defender. Other then the sun roof issues, to know it’s been such a reliable and excellent vehicle, over all of that diverse terrain and 43,000 miles, / 2.5 years, is a good thing. The huge breadth of capability with new Defender, is most definitely a very strong selling point regarding the vehicle. Pity that Doug isn’t keeping it, and running it up to 100,000 miles. If after 100,000 miles, there had been no problems, that would certainly help to promote a message that LR vehicles have good reliability. I’m sure Doug will get another Defender in the future. Maybe 130 model ? Many more variants of Defender to get released over coming years. I’m sure the extra driver assist technology features that Doug wants, will become available on Defender, in the future.
"It can slow up and speed down" This is unforgivable, incomprehensible, horrific, absolutely abhorrent, a huge issue and I cannot ever find it in myself to forgive you. Things will never be the same Douglas.
From what I understand, all collision repair places regardless of brand, are backed up with hard-to-find parts. A friends kid hit a curb in with a chevy SUV during a snow storm and had minor body damage and she called about a dozen collision repair places, the quickest she could get it in for an ESTIMATE was two weeks, with additional 6-8 weeks for repairs to be completed. The worst she found was a place that would not be able to start work on the SUV for six months. Also, my dads friend got T-boned back in mid-November during a storm (everyones ok) but because parts were hard to come by (for a normal Ford/Chevy/Toyota/Honda whatever normal small SUV they had) it took them until the end of February to get their car back, they'd been driving a rental for 3-months.
Yes, even with my wife’s CRV they said we needed to plan to not have it for 3 months. Luckily a miracle happened and we got it back after a month but one of the visor pieces wasn’t replaced for another 3 months.
I waited almost 5 months for a windshield for my VW Golf. I’ve driven it with the crack for so long that it felt weird driving it with the newly replaced windshield.
I owned the 2021 4Runner TRD Pro Lunar Rock. Wife did same thing but went from the front fender to the back bumper on a concrete (yellow) barrier in a drive through. It took 6 months to get two door panels and I never got the wheel well plastic inserts. So, I sold it in July of last year (10 months post accident) still missing parts, 20k miles, for 12k more than I bought it. Still feels like a win
Doug, i have been watching your channel for years, and i wanted to say thanks for all the videos. You are the first channel i check on UA-cam and have learn a lot and laughed a bunch. I wish you all the best and congratulations on getting the Porsche.
Doug, i watch you for the past 4-5 years and this is the first time im comenting a video, please dont ever ever again say that you are not cool, you are one of the coolest guys i know. I wish i can meet you one day and discuss cars with you. ❤️😃
I absolutely love my 2023 Defender X-Dynamic! Zero issues and I also drive quite a bit. I metal speaker grates are awful though and have terrible sound quality/vibration depending on a songs frequency. It’s been 2.5 months and replacement speakers are still on back order. I pray I never have any issues with it as I plan to keep mine for the long haul!
Yes, the comment was a little off-putting to me. Okay, so you had to wait 3 months to get the car repaired. You got 9 other cars. Use another one until it's fixed. No? It's got to be fixed yesterday? Reminds me of a wealthy friend who complained to the store manager of a Whole Foods about the bakery department when they didn't have his favorite bread in stock..... God bless Doug and his success. But it feels petty and certainly a wealthy, first-world problem....
@@yuuycockdemnations69420 lol. You haven’t been paying attention. He bought a Mercedes wagon for daily driving and he got a 37 million buy in to cars and bids, which is how he afforded the Porsche. He doesn’t need the money from a Land Rover.
truly a historical icon! Famously Crashed by the celebrity Mrs. DeMuro! I suspect that next will probably not be a Lincoln Blackwood or an LM002 due to size constraint lol
All these years of watching car content, Harry's garage and Doug demuro feel like the classics . I always imagine Doug being in a world premiere show like top gear
The compressor is the single best feature. I off-road my Jeep whenever I can, and the one thing I wish it had was a built-in compressor. I always have to remember to bring my air-down tool and portable electric pump with a DC lighter plug. It's not the end of the world, but the built-in system on the Defender is awesome.
My dad used to have a 2002 Land Rover Discovery when I was a kid. He had the same exact problem with the windshield, where since it was kinda upright, and also had the heating element going through it, he drove around with a massive crack in it for ages before he got it replaced.
Love how you're so honest with everything even with you trying to sell it if I ever win the lottery I know the first place I'm going to go looking for to buy a newest to me car
Is it weird that geek out from Dougs picture of the Defender in front of the "Welcome to Texas" sign? Because I live in that area and I think that its cool he drove through my hometown? xD
It wasn't repairable the entire time you owned it and you had a blast. When something like that happens to me; where I learn something like that, that was already in that situation before I knew it, and was still enjoying said thing, I just pretend I didn't learn of it. I revert to the thought and feeling that I was happily living in ignorance for X amount of time prior. So why should that be changed now? It was fine yesterday. It's fine tomorrow. The 'risk' didn't change.
If you’re also wondering why Doug’s videos lately have published one hour earlier: I just found out that daylight savings time has already started in the US. Here in Germany we’re still having regular winter time… That’s why it came put at 5 o‘ clock today…
I’m an estimator at a body shop, and, currently in our shop, we have a 2021 Range Rover Sport that was in a collision. After tear down, we found out it needed a radiator support. I ordered it from Land Rover in September. It showed up two weeks ago. We shudder in the office whenever a new Land Rover pulls up. I feel your pain!
I don't blame you for changing your mind about the Defender. I like these alot but there are some small things that I don't care for and knowing they are having part shortages on simple body panels would definitely have me a bit anxious. Also, I think the Mrs scraped the pole on purpose to make a point 😂🤷🏾
What you're describing is exactly what it was like with my i3! I leased it brand new back in 2014 when it first became available in North America. Everyone was taking pictures and asking me about it.. I was like, wow, that's really cool but also really sad that my car gets way more attention than I ever have lol and then I got into a minor accident, and it took FOUR MONTHS to get my car fully repaired because there weren't any parts available. They did offer me a rental car during that time, so I wasn't without a car.
Doug please use a windshield repair service on small damages before they spread. I know those windshields can be several thousand dollars replaced but can only cost $100-250 to repair

I am in for at least 100k miles and willing to suffer the pain...that is what happens when you love all kinds of cars. I enjoy your reviews and videos. Keep it up!
Your videos are always entertaining. I find a few funny moments in this video, specifically you're forgetting a few more reliability issues mentioned in your first couple of videos on your Defender. Just like my brother. He had a Range Rover. Everything broke on it. Yet ask him 10 years later about it, and he acts like it was the most reliable vehicle he ever owned. Then he buys another one a few months ago, and aside from a "few" electrical gremlins, he finds it once again, reliable. You mentioned in earlier videos that the check engine light came on, more than one time. Also, the sunroof broke, not once but twice if I remember correctly. There was something else, but who's counting, it's a Land Rover product. The windshield. REALLY!. Full glass insurance covers it. However, if someone buys it already broken , getting insurance to pay is unlikely once the new owner takes it, and if paying out of pocket, well, lets just say it isn't going to be cheap. AND, all that said, I want one. I want to go right out next week and check out ordering a Defender. Why?, because Doug said it was just a blast to own and I freaken love these things. I had 2 Land Rovers and 1 Range Rover and they were just awful. The Range Rover Evoque left me stranded 3 times. I loved it. SO, just like a woman you might marry just for the good sex and nothing else, once she's gone you say, why oh why did I divorce her. Forgetting what a horror show she really was. Ya, on to another Land Rover. Why am I doing this to myself again Doug?. Why?.
Heard the same elsewhere about the windshield. It's a rock magnet. And the parts availability issue makes sense. It's comments like this that LR should pay attention to. But congrats to them on the overall reliability of a first year vehicle.
If Doug ever decides to retire from making car reviews, he should definitely consider to start (travel)vlogging! I don’t think the idea is too weird, because he also reviewed hotels (for the ones that remember :p), it would genuinely be entertaining and interesting.
I loved his review of that insane Vegas hotel room. But let’s be real, we’re Doug superfans here, we’d watch him review a room at the Hampton Inn of Dubuque, Iowa, and we’d flood the comments with “Doug is the type of guy” gentle roasts/compliments. 😂

Just like my brother. He had a Range Rover. Everything broke on it. Yet ask him 10 years later about it, and he acts like it was the most reliable vehicle he ever owned. Then he buys another one a few months ago, and aside from a "few" electrical gremlins, he finds it once again, reliable. You mentioned in earlier videos that the check engine light came on, more than one time. Also, the sunroof broke, not once but twice if I remember correctly. There was something else, but who's counting, it's a Land Rover product. The windshield. REALLY!. Full glass insurance covers it. However, if someone buys it already broken , getting insurance to pay is unlikely once the new owner takes it, and if paying out of pocket, well, lets just say it isn't going to be cheap. AND, all that said, I want one. I want to go right out next week and check out ordering a Defender. Why?, because Doug said it was just a blast to own and I freaken love these things. I had 2 Land Rovers and 1 Range Rover and they were just awful. The Range Rover Evoque left me stranded 3 times. I loved it. SO, just like a woman you might marry just for the good sex and nothing else, once she's gone you say, why oh why did I divorce her. Forgetting what a horror show she really was. Ya, on to another Land Rover. Why am I doing this to myself again Doug?. Why?.
Doug is the type of guy that gets me to watch every video from start to checkered flag.
Heard the same elsewhere about the windshield. It's a rock magnet. And the parts availability issue makes sense. It's comments like this that LR should pay attention to. But congrats to them on the overall reliability of a first year vehicle.
If Doug ever decides to retire from making car reviews, he should definitely consider to start (travel)vlogging!
I don’t think the idea is too weird, because he also reviewed hotels (for the ones that remember :p), it would genuinely be entertaining and interesting.
That’s actually why he started Cars and Bids he knew he’s not gonna do UA-cam forever so he needs a back up income stream
I loved his review of that insane Vegas hotel room. But let’s be real, we’re Doug superfans here, we’d watch him review a room at the Hampton Inn of Dubuque, Iowa, and we’d flood the comments with “Doug is the type of guy” gentle roasts/compliments. 😂
@@saf2127 true haha
I'm glad at least Doug is being %100 honest about the conditions of this Defender at the time of selling it.
The one video everybody saw coming 😂
Rip Doug, he was supposed to post today
Hey Doug, I noticed you change your logo from the range rover to the carrera gt 😉
Good catch!! Thanks for pointing that out!
