@DougDemuro if you are taking the G Wagon to the east coast, what are you doing for off roading on the west coast?
did you tag the guy in Newton that collects them?
BTW, Affleck needs something rough to drive 😅
Of course your selling it. C'est la vie 😂.
Good luck with the sale man! And absolutely, life has seasons! Enjoy the new seasons!
Must have found an LM002
Now why would he buy that? He explains why he's selling it starting at 3:36.
He basically says because of "simplifying my life and he has two young kids".
😂😂😂
He wishes lol
@@jcdenton8750It was a joke bro
😂 pretty sure he's going for a Sequoia TRD Pro but I wouldn't put it past him!
I am a slave to my things. Doug is not.
With how much this man rotates cars in and out, I expect the Countach's days are numbered! 😂
He has money now. He has choices now.
@user-vx7vi3vq1c yea but he bought his "all time dream car" several times now lol. Its getting silly
@@thanosianthemadtitanic I’m happy for him. He worked for it.
Bruh you have sold more cars that you said you would "probably never get rid of" than cars I've owned.
02:02 I'm so relieved that he didn't attend his own wedding with a t-shirt and cargo shorts
But look at his wife biceps :))
Yeah she's the man in the house.@@ZngLucian
@@raymondjunger4742 bahahahahahaahhahahaha
This…….is my wedding.
Two T-shirts.
The only thing that’s given Doug more problems than his mic…
...Right.
That would be his range rover
His Range Rover has tons of epic legacies on it.
Doug still has yet to give this Defender a Dougscore...
Anyone who has driven one of these understands why. I'd guess it would get about 25.
@@ruk2023--And of that 25 nearly a third of it comes in only one category - cool factor.
Bring a Trailer will get you more money
Lmaooooo
@@ruk2023--I'd still take this Defender if it was a 0 DougScore. This is the greatest SUV ever made.
Doug's the type of guy to turn 40 at 35. I remember paring down possessions to simplify life, and the tough decisions that had to be made. Good on you, Doug for simplifying and making the best choices for your family!
Doug here spitting lessons about the value of possessions in life
You have no idea how much money he makes from doing basically no actual work. Only in America.
@@Tainted10someone's hurt lmao. Also you know he owns a business right?
@@dole9783 successful unlike you. No one can say anything, I bet you defend pop stars being worth 300 million for making trash music idiots like you consume like food. You drive a Honda I bet, I have 100k with of cars and own a construction business idiot. Nice try!
@@dole9783 some people actually work hard unlike you.
@@dole9783 how’s that desk job going loser?
3:12 Doug and his friends are the type of guys that sing Sweet Caroline loud at night coming home on the yellow defender
Not Sweet Caroline. Call Me Maybe!
@@DougDeMurohella cool. My friends dad was a HUGE mopar fan. 2000 he took us on a drive in hid 60s cuda. Had the Corrs playing leave me breathless. I love that song to this day, and that was his kind of driving music. As a nascar mopar fan.
@@DougDeMuro hahaha
@@DougDeMuro Doug I neeeeeeeed to know if you blast some Taylor Swift out of the Defender. Sale question ;)
@@DougDeMuro "Run Away With Me" is a much better CRJ song. We miss you here in DC!
This video reminds me of the Home Improvement episode where Tim sells his '33 Ford Hotrod at a car show. When Jill finds out, she asks "So, for enough money, you'd sell the house, me, the kids, your tools..." Tim responds "I'm not selling my tools..."
Hahaha, I liked that show
I didn't watch that show regularly, but I do remember the episodes surrounding his hot rod(s). IIRC, in response to his family taking issue with him selling the Ford, he bought a dilapidated shell of a '40s Ford convertible to start building a whole new hot rod with the family.
@@DiRF yes! And, as beautiful as the 33 is, I loved the second hot rod. The cool thing is Tim Allen still owns both of them along with a lot of other cars. In fact, I think the ‘66 Ferrari that Al’s girlfriend, later wife, gives him is actually Tim’s car.
Great show. I remember that episode.
@@DiRFDidn’t he buy the convertible from Jay Leno on that episode?
This will be Doug's regret car. The one that he'll look back on as an old man and wish he still had. He may even try to track it down so he can rebuy it at some point and then be disappointed when he finds out it wasn't taken care of/crashed.
If you don't need the money don't sell the car from your wedding. When it's your 8th car kept in Nantucket and you have a Porsche GT, keep the bloody truck!
I thought the same thing
Yup, but simps will always listen to their wife 😄
45 years here…. Unfortunately I have to agree with you. I have sold very cool cars I had, the 1/2 car that I regret to sell was my wedding car. 😢
That wedding picture is priceless
All the more reason to keep it.
I started watching your channel when you bought this car. I've seen you grow as a youtuber, entertainer, car journalist and even person while you owned it. It even sort of kickstarted a little interest in Defenders in me, and I always think of you Doug, and your yellow truck when I see other Defenders in my country. Congratulations on the new family member, and I also hope the new owner continues to have fun and keep it as mint as it is.
He'll regret it
- A wise man
Yeah he will. And he'll blame his kids. 😅
Sweet, does this mean he's getting a Murano Cross Cabriolet?
🤢
🤮
🤣🤣🤣
🤢🤮
Thats exactly what I was thinking. 😂
That part about the AA yellow and Doug cracking up was too funny lmao
I thought Doug was admitting a drinking problem 🥴🍻
Doug in previous videos "And of course, I have my Land Rover Defender... which I'll never sell!"
He was almost close to not selling it but sometimes you need to make the sensible choice, not the emotional one
I've said that about almost every car I've had, but most end up getting sold. It's the life of a car guy
"You're selling it" Mrs. DeMuro.
#truecostofawedding
Heh, find the video where I said that. Trust me -- you won't!
Everyone eventually sells that car they say they'll "never sell." I'm just more realistic about it than most.
A few years later...
THIS... is my new Land Rover Defender, which was my OLD Land Rover Defender...
I suspect that when he makes his occasional "cars I wish I never sold" video, this will be car #1.
Doug is one of the only people I would buy a used car from sight unseen.
Doug and Hoovie. Both highlight everything wrong, even stuff most people would never notice. Hoovie even bought back that Ferrari after the next owner blew it up!
Lots of cats are buying cars unseen, Chinese will buy them internationally.
I really appreciate how you’re able to make content and keep your family anonymous, so many creators need to figure that out
Dude, congratulations on the new baby! Idk why no one else has commented on this yet, but that's a huge deal! You're points about seasons in life and the fact you could go get another one are spot on! It's sad to see it go, but it's not nearly as important as other things and people in your life. You got your priorities straight here and I commend you for it!
Congrats Doug
Because knocking up the keeper of your balls is not a huge accomplishment 🤷🏻♂️
May this Land Rover Defender be blessed with a good new owner. We're surely gonna miss it. At least, it was responsible for a lot of Doug's good memories
No reserve? absolute KING
He's proven several times that no reserve cars get more bids
@@ArtyI He should have put a reserve on it just for the inevitable 'memes'!
Well it's owned my Doug so it'll surely sell for a inflated price
If you want to get the most money, you go no reserve.
@@DougDeMuro the greatest cars and bidder in the world has spoken
Last time I was this early, Doug still climbed into the backseats
He did the backseats in the DB12 review earlier in the week
@@dustmighteAnd it was a glorious moment indeed!
I hope Doug realizes that there are a lot of fans that don’t actually care about the cars, we just enjoy seeing Doug explore the quirks and features and just be himself. Funny, informative, and I’ve enjoyed watching his videos for the past 9 years.
Ok boomer!
@@DjJokerr I’d recommend CarWow if you don’t appreciate Doug.
@@DjJokerr Boomers have a lot of wisdom and were behind countless advancements. We should be thanking them instead of dismissing them.
@@bwofficial1776 Mostly advancements in property prices and pollution.
I don't agree, I've never really been a fan of the silly faces, I am a regular watcher because Doug is 100% thorough and filmed every aspect of the car, even ones that come out better in PR shots than in a sunglared iPhone camera. Ugly/laggy/confusing infotainment, fingerprintable surfaces, cheap plastic bits snuck into a luxury interior, back seat usablility, these are directly useful to the car buyer. I was a regular watcher until Doug started watering down his content, reviewing less than interesting cars just for his site, eliminating the Doug Score, and collaborating with insipid influencers. He should also stay out of the comments. Admonishing his fans for joining in as he drove like a maniac in his Carrera GT, then later buying a Countach because the Carrera GT really wasn't getting enough attention, that was just gross.
Doug is the type of guy who doesn't collect possessions but has a whole wall of license plates and a cabinet of toy versions of his cars. Which he has 8. Not a collection for sure. I have 8 rolls of toilet paper and I'm quite proud of that collection.
Nevermind it's 7.5 rolls now.
I thought you were going to say 8 Rolls-Royces, you got me.
@@compaqdeskpro5770 it's down to 6 Rolls-Royces now. I feel like I'm flushing them down the toilet.
Doug the type of guy to have 4 cars per 1 child.
Damn...such an iconic car on this channel.
This car is something you give to one of your children when you're an old man. I would have been so valuable to them. Even to remember you by when you're passed away.
My grandfather gave me my first car, an old Jeep. I still have it and I'll never sell it.
I admire Doug for three reasons…
1- excellent English pronunciation, I’m not native and I understand him Perfectly well
2- his Amazing and sometimes funny car reviews
3- he’s a real WINNER and I agree with his opinions, ideas and points of views 👍💪
I like how he always speaks clearly. He never rushes through his intros, even after doing hundreds of them.
I’ll never forget seeing Doug and this Defender on Nantucket summer of 2018!!
Can understand these reasons! I’m a car-guy, but I’m also a minimalist and I just get a rental car when I need to drive anywhere now, and I have no hassle of taking cars to get serviced etc etc!
Didn’t think you’d sell that old truck Doug! Good move keeping the G-cab instead.
Doug, SELL the G-cab
@DougDeMuro... I am stealing that personal "season" analogy from you... My fiancee and I are currently in our "work our asses off for a couple years to get ahead" season and this concept of "seasons" will honestly really help with the stress... Came for the cars, left with great life advice... Doug, the kind of guy that can put a couple Germans in a better mental state. Thanks dude
I can relate so well to this! I am in my mid-fifties and our three children have grown up. My wife and I met when we were both around thirty, we both had our fair share of fun in our lives and when our first kid announced itself it was very easy for us to say goodbye to some things in our lives that weren't "in the right season" any more. She had a convertible we sold, I used to go free skiing a lot which I stopped and we both don't regret it a second. Thx for being to open about your life!
Watching everyone come to appreciate you the way I always have has been really awesome to see. It brought a tear to my eye when you bought your Carrera GT and went #1 on trending worldwide. I've been with you since near the very beginning, across two different CZcams accounts and numerous stages of my life. Keep being you, Doug, we're so proud of you.
The best news is about your new child! Congrats and God bless!
After hearing your reasons for selling, it toally makes sense now. I remember you saying that it doesnt make sense to have 2 of these kinds of vehicles years ago
Yeah, glad he's doing what's right for him.
I would say l'm more like you than a collector. I have 17 cars at the moment, each one was bought to drive. In the early 90s l wanted the four door Defender, l told a friend of mine and he said why don't l buy his Bronco. I was Godsmacked! A 1968 unmolested V-8 manual with 68k miles that he bought new. I still have it. I did change it from a 3 on the tree to a 6 speed, added vintage air and a bunch of insulation under the rubber mat. Like your Defender the Bronco has been involved in many wonderful adventures so l understand your sentiment and reason for selling it. I own vintage Ferraris and Lamborghinis but driving a topless 4x4 on the beach is every bit as exhilarating
As a senior in high school I lusted after a 1994 Land Rover Defender 90 soft top in that exact color.
This is a sad day for old doug fans.
imagine Doug's kids watching all his videos in the future🥺
As a Land Rover fan, I suppose I have a bias for it over the G Cabriolet but it sounds like because the Defender was a Doug car, the G Wagon was very much more of your personal pick for owning, and I'm glad to see at least one of these will continue to carry on the heart and soul of quirky cars that we remember best from this channel :)
I've been watching you all the way since you bought this in 2017. I remember the DougCars, very cool, maybe you can bring that back!
I sold my Defender 90 ten years ago and still haven't gotten over it.
Watching all this old footage is giving me chills. Been watching Doug since middle school and I’m an airline pilot now. Damn time flies
And now you fly!
This car should not be sold to a third party. It should be sold to the Cars and Bids company. And it should stay in the lobby for everyone to see when they enter the office!
But as long as you are 100% aware that you will regret it, go ahead. You can always try to buy it later for double the price lol
I will miss this too. I also adore you Doug! thank you for years of honesty and amazing content. I remember the "Doug car" days and I kinda feel like we grew together.
Looking forward to your new "season"....
"seasons in life", eh? the number of time Doug says that exact phrase ... methinks the lady protests too much. He gonna buy it himself under a pseudonym, and hide it from his good wife, isn't he? :D
It’s like an end of an era 😢
When i think about Doug itd quirks and features and getting into back seats of cars and i always picture the Ford GT or the yellow defender as his car. Its like a part of his character and personality
Love your work Doug! I remember being a young college student wanting this exact vehicle after seeing it in She's All That 😅
I think this one will be a mistake. It’ll be the one that got away because I don’t think you will just want any defender, you’ll want this VIN.
If I were you I’d loan this to a trusted steward who will enjoy and maintain it and sell it back to you when you’re ready.
He makes a video every few years about the cars he wish he'd never sold. This Defender will be at the top of that list. I could never sell a car that's been with me for so many major events. There are a good number of AA yellow NAS Defender 90s but only one was his.
Are you keeping the custom miniature model or selling it with the defender?
A very similar (but with less mileage) yellow soft top Defender just sold on another auction site for $106k
I used to own a 1994 240sx se with 75k miles, sold it because my girldfriend has a farm and the 240 was my only car. It broke my soul to sell it but it was impossible to drive to her home without scratching the whole underbody so I understand when you say that the car has a season.
Doug says he doesn't want to be a collector. If you have more than 3 cars (and all three need to be vastly different ie: truck/suv, luxury sedan, 2 seats sports car) than you're a collector. With 8 Doug is a collector to the 2nd power.
Which is why I'm getting rid of a lot of cars! Three down (Defender, A-Class, RS2), two to go.
3 super cars (Ford GT, Carrera GT and a Contouch is still a collector, but I'd keep all of them too. I'd just own it. So you'd still be a SUPER CAR collector.
There’s a difference between a collector and an enthusiast 🤦♂️
Do you have more than 3 pieces of clothing? Then you're a clothes collector? Lol. The point he's making is the accumulation of stuff for the sake of it. It is fine to have more than 3 items of something.
I used to feel like you do, but now that I'm 55, I wish I'd have kept those "things" that held such a high amount of emotional value. It will become more important to you as you age, you should reconsider.
I understand that people love the experience, but personally I would completely restore and restomod it. Keep the design 100% original because I love it and the open top untouched and redo everything else down to the bolt! An entire new rollcage would also be on the upgrade list for sure.
It would cost a fortune, but it would be a topless Classic Defender with incredible reliability and good enough handling and safety. That would be the experience I would look for when purchasing something like this.
Doug, the kind of guy who ties a knot in his T-shirt at weekends.
First known photo of Doug’s wife! 1:54
Lol I don't get why people are hating for you selling your car.
I’m just glad it wasn’t the G-Wagon cabriolet. That car is way more special.
Daddy Doug is responsible Daddy Doug.
I’ve been watching Doug for about 6 years now and I’m kind of sad to see this car go, but at least she’s going to a new home now. He’s taken great care of this little old truck for 7 years, and I can’t even believe he’s kept it this long! Damn good truck.
Also, congratulations Doug on your second child!!! I remember being so excited when you announced your first child not that long ago! 🎉
Only press photos?! Dude, don't forget the perfect yellow example in the background of Britney Spears' 1999 video for "Baby One More Time." Or so I've heard. Not that I've seen it or anything but I might remember the song a little bit. Then in 2000 I met my future wife so I had something else to deal with that was English, erratic, and whose top came off way too easily.
I'm sure that this will do well. Doug is an enthusiast and his affection for this particular car is apparent. GLWTA...and in life.
This video makes me like you even more as a person. You're just so practical and real not a fake flashy influencer
A Defender with an auto box - sacrilege! I like the military/series doors though. They ditched those about 1983 for civvy Landies in the UK.
Hearing your story just reminded me of my father. He had a 3 seat defender td5 and loved it. He’s a big Land Rover fan (his first car was a series 3 which he still owns). But since another son was coming and it didn’t seat 4, was uncomfortable and didn’t do well in the motorway, etc, my mother convinced him to sell it… He still cries whenever he sees one today.
Hope you never get to that phase.😂
(P.S.: here in Portugal they 3x their value since he sold it so now the best he could do was get a disco)
It's undoubtly one of the best and more unique cars that you have, so special. I can see on the video that you are emotional about selling it, and I love it. I agree with you, there's a time for everything, and also I believe that passing it on for someone else to enjoy as much as you did is the best thing to do.
Here's an idea: you should wrap the G wagon on bright yellow (or something fun) as an homage to this great, special car.
I drove Land Rovers for 29 years, 1964 to 1993. I loved the cars. Spent about eleven of those years selling Land Rover and Rover parts in San Diego. I've owned a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon, the JK, since April 2012. My Rubicon, which has just under 45,000 miles on it after twelve years of ownership, has been one-hundred percent reliable except for having had its navigation system replaced at almost 12,000 miles. All the Jeep's radiator and heater hoses are the originals. No oil leaks. The speedometer has never been replaced. No broken rear axle shafts. While I'll always have a warm spot---read hot spot---in my heart for well-cared for Land Rovers, my "season" of ownership long ago ended. I'm now seventy-six years old. From time to time I've thought about buying another well-cared for Land Rover, as I told my late wife some years ago, "Don't ever let me buy another Land Rover. It would destroy our marriage." Fortunately for me, the woman I've been married to since 2011 was my wife when I ordered the 2012 Rubicon. Debbie loves Jeeps just as much as I do. A Jeep is not quite a member of the family, but it is a damn close and very reliable friend. In this day and age, you should be able to easily get $125,000 minimum for your Land Rover. Perhaps even over $200,000.. Best of luck to you, Doug! Andy McKane, 5 April 2024, Maunaloa, Molokai, Hawaii.
Doug is the type of guy to TELL you his Land Rover is unreliable, even to the point of the color beinig named for that fact, WHILE he's tryinig to sell the same Defender! Love you, Doug!
I’m a big Land Rover enthusiast, always have been since I was a child, everything I know about the North American spec defenders is because of you, I was in my early to mid teens when you bought that Defender and I was always in awe of it whenever you uploaded a video with it, I even bought myself a 1968 series 2 short wheel base with a 3.5 rover V8 swapped into it so I get a lot of the reasons why you’re selling it and I’d unfortunately have to agree with your wife about the safety concerns especially with the kids even as a 20yro college student, I plan to keep my series 2 till I die since it was a childhood dream of mine, but the reasons you’ve stated in the video have always been things on my mind, I’d have to agree that things have a stage or time in your life and there isn’t really anything you can put above the safety of your own children, I always loved the AA yellow, I’ve been debating painting mine yellow as it’s been in its bare aluminium state since I got it from the previous owner and I was always a big fan of the movie WALL-E growing up and actively watching you with yours may help make a final decision with that, it’s certainly sad to see yours go, and I hope the G Cabrio brings you as much joy and memories, thanks for the videos of the Defender throughout the years, I’d love to see an update on partly owned L322!
Sad to see another OG Doug car go. 😢 You’ve got great memories and made memorable videos in it, like the one when you crushed an Audi Allroad and Kia Spectra. But that’s about it-priorities have changed and one has to let go of things that never fulfill the needs of the time anymore.
They are material possessions at the end of the day. I love to keep everything I have from my first car the BMW 525i from 2004 but when something negative happens in your life, none of these will matter. I didn’t have the time to maintain multiple cars and work so I do get your point. Let someone else enjoy it.
Congratulations on the new baby @DougDeMuro
Hopefully you got pictures with the whole family in it. My parents bought a '68 Ford Mustang Fastback before I was born. I have a picture of me helping my dad fill the radiator with a garden hose when I was 2-3 y/o...I vaguely remember riding in the back AND THEN they bought a more reasonable '79 Ford Grenada...ugh. My dad wished he never got rid of it.
I’m pretty sure 90% of these vintage defenders are here in Greenwich/surrounding areas with the remaining 10% in CA, where it makes much more sense. Love them. Boxy beautiful iconic.
I saw this same generation Defender in yellow on Palm Beach island
@@gwpeoples Nice! Man I’d rather be in pb with a yellow defender right this second. It’s undoubtedly *the* color.
Great Choice. Huge point for me selling a car is finding some who will love it as much as me and the defender will find a wonderful home… of the highest bidder
Wow Doug, you are making me feel better about selling my Pinzgauer. Its season has come and gone, but there it sits in my driveway. Thanks!
Good luck with the sale!!
I work on these in England a lot. I'm pretty sure they are supposed to have a ton of cow crap under the bonnet? It's like an engine cover on other vehicles, I think they top it up when they get their fluids service.
can you do a video of all the cars you’ve owned and when you owned them timeline style? been watching your channel for the better part of the decade and it’s hard to keep track!
Glad to say I have same way of thinking like Doug when it comes to possessions. It literally makes no sense for me to buy something I barely gonna use, and it doesn't matter what that thing is. Wether it's something expensive like cars or even simple stuff like clothes, electronics and even food at times. It's the type of thinking that actually make you more enjoy what you have and spend less money and worries.
I get the kids thing. But ... I'd find a storage unit and put it up on blocks until they're grown.
Props all-around, one goofy idea to add to the mix: perhaps periodically pop a colorful wrap on the G Wagon based on your kid’s input might partly capture the bright yellow-ness effect and add a family note to it all :-)
Hooking a tow strap up to the steering wheel is still one of my favourite clips ever.
The best thing that has ever happened with this car was the Coronado Car Spotting video during Covid. The perfect car for a ‘quirky car spotting safari!’
4:14 min - congrats Doug. 👏👏
That's right Doug, you do you never worry about the haters. Most of them are people that sold off something of their own and they just regret it. Thanks for amusing and informing us for all these years and many more to come.
Doug - I'm not a collector
Countach, GT, Carrera, G cab - what
I went through the same feelings selling my 2000 Wrangler TJ after 18 years of ownership and effectively never getting stranded
I like how Doug “gets” the Land Rover experience now. You fall in love with them, even though aspects alot them are crap ☺️
I own a LR discovery 2 in the uk.
Love that “seasons” 11:31
Hazard lights worn out from every time it was broke down on the side of the road before Doug got it😂😂
We've really seen the transition from Daddy Doug to, well, Daddy Doug. The youtube journey is not over, it's just a natural progression and I'm here for it.
Does it come with khaki shorts and a T-shirt?
i would love to own this vehicle. i hope it gives someone the same love and they give it the same love you do. if i had more room and more use as you were talking about you bet i would be actively participating on CAB
I'm not mad, but surprised the Peterson museum would not perhaps take It to put on display till you wanted it back! Something to consider???
I don't think this car is one they would put in their museum. Sure, it's quite uncommon, but not nearly rare or important enough to be featured in a museum. Even if they did decide to put a US spec Defender on display, it probably wouldn't be this exact one as it's no longer in original and certainly not in museum-worthy condition.
@@wowdogeful yeah, just trying to find a way Doug could keep and maintain it... But it's all good, like he said he can get another one
