This prank cost Doug his best customer!

[@KevinCarbotte]

The audio sync after the opening credits is way out of whack!

[@fractal4284]

dont look at the mouth 👄 fixed 😂

[@broncogrizz]

Pretend it's a kung-fu movie.

[@rockets4kids]

that's just the rbf

[@dieselhrt5492]

You should probably put "almost" in the title.

[@forrestnutter]

That wouldn't get clicks

[@BenSwoloest]

He lost him for 6 months…

[@PercivalDunlop]

Can’t believe how good this turned out!

[@justinkrizenesky]

Ah, the new Vinwiki intro is so clean!

[@Lewis-kf2pj]

Apart from the awful ‘80s music

I don't get Dougs issue with our sales tax. I'd rather pay sales tax once, rather than get a huge bill every year to renew my registration, like in Kentucky. I had a 2015 Focus my kids drove. When my kids got newer cars I wanted to give the Focus to my best friend because his 99 Town Car is failing apart. But he couldn't afford it because Kentucky taxes you yearly based on the estimated retail value of the car, not what you paid for the car. In Ohio, I could have sold it to him for $5 and he would pay the sales tax on $5, once. It costs me the same to get plates for my 2019 Audi S5 as it does for my 07 Saab 9-3. If I lived in Kentucky, that would not be the case. Do I like paying taxes? Of course not, who does? But I'll take Ohios system over Kentuckys any day.

[@broncogrizz]

I think he was talking about another state where you get a credit when you trade the car in. So if you buy a car for $50k and pay $5k in sales tax, if you trade that in for $40k you get $4k back so when you buy the next $50k car you only have to pay another $1k instead of another $5k. At least that's how I understood him.

[@harryschneider1760]

Wait .every year u must pay tax on what the car is worth? Nj u just pay tax on what u paid then every year $60 a year to renew reg....

[@AeroGuy07]

​@harryschneider1760 that's how Kentucky does it, your yearly registration fees are based on the retail value of the car. An example of how messed up it is, is my buddies 99 Town Car. During covid, when used car prices skyrocketed, his registration fees increased because the state of Kentucky said his 20+ year old Lincoln with 268K miles went up in value.

[@AeroGuy07]

​@@broncogrizz I've never heard of a system like that, but I've also never bought a car anywhere but Ohio or Kentucky.

[@leonkiriliuk]

@@AeroGuy07 In Canada you pay sales tax when you buy the car and that's it. We used to have yearly license plate renewal fee (a tiny amount) but that's been eliminated since after covid. a decade ago, when you purchased a car privately, you used to pay 1/2 the tax. But the used car dealers managed to persuade the government to charge the same tax on all car purchases so buying privately is no longer advantageous to most buyers.

[@993isgawd]

You shoulda priced the car four or five or TEN times the actual value, then the joke would more likely be understood.

[@j_mars_cars]

Doug is the best. Switchcast is something i binged for a few months until i caught up. Now it’s a long wait between those episodes. This will help me bear the time 😂

[@ValentinaRosas-i4q]

I can binge these videos all day!

[@tomkopp2115]

Always a good start when doug is on. Thanks for everything!

[@Spartacus3006]

Doug is one of the BEST storytellers, truly entertaining!

[@socialhostage8534]

I think it would be a good rule to not prank costumers... It's kind of disrespectful to prank them because they are your livelihood. I won't joke with that.

[@jonathanjones5543]

Good customers usually become friends, at least in the automotive industry. Not saying you should always have that point of view, but it does happen often

[@replyyt4198]

A Doug story is always a treat!

[@Mr39knuck]

Three of the most painful words in the English language…You got taken 😮

[@albundy5992]

This video made me very conscious about how I come across to people in real life 😳

[@cybereagle19]

Love the new into, that subtle jab at Exotic Car Hacks lol

[@PootieTang101]

Reminds me of Hank Hill paying sticker price everytime until his wife talked the price down about two grand. So Hank felt betrayed by the salesman he thought was a great guy.

[@EvaRoberts-r5i]

It's always a pleasure to watch your videos - lots of useful information and great filming quality. You are the best!👊🐺🐩

[@workingguy6666]

Just heard of a late-model Prius who covered the USA(?) at about 95 miles per gallon. Can you get that driver on for an interview?

[@Dudeitsmeee]

Doug learned the lesson... if man with money is being cantankerous but continuing to do business with him, let him gripe, and watch him come back. The minute you call him out on it.... some eccentric people you just have to leave alone.

[@texwebb]

This guy talks exactly like a "used car salesman." Whatever that label means to you... Whatever experiences you have had... I know what experiences I have had that define the term for me. I would have not forgiven the prank. The prank would add to my subjective defintion. Its a business relationship and should be treated as such. "Business" is a much more objective and definable term.

[@ChristinaAnderson-m4d4d]

Your videos always leave a mark in the heart and mind of the viewers. Thank you for your creativity and depth of thought!🔳💵💫

[@jonathanjameschapman-lim2959]

Great basic “salesman” advice. It’s really a struggle even if you’re sincere. Because it takes 2 hands to clap 👏. 🙏

[@81cameroz28]

Perfect more for me to listen to at work

[@1puppetbike]

I oncecscrewed myself out of a payday by telling my 'boss's" cohort that the other boss paid me weakly.

[@KateLopez-k9w]

Your videos are always so high quality and heartfelt. Thank you for your talented creativity!🦈🍏⛺️

[@dannyzuehlsdorf3697]

"Doug. I'll give you 70 grand for that Audi, Ahhhhhhh! My spleen!!"

[@HelloMrVelo]

Honestly So Funny 😂

[@FakeJeep]

Had a similar issue with one of our high dollar customers. Except it was his wife... ya she didn't take the joke too well and it has been radio silence since.

[@kwashelby2010]

One of the things I never do, is take liberties with a good customer. It's too risky.

[@ronschwolsky1626]

Yes, you do tell the customer about every scratch! It’s called disclosure FFS.

[@sticks2478]

Yeah... That was a dumb joke... Especially for your business 😂

[@darkbassi5911]

So you sold him cars while he was poorly... sound like a scumbag move to me

[@hotboyracing]

That’s my biggest problem with people I be making jokes and they don’t laugh they just get mad

[@HB92647]

Tough to beat Ed, but I think this guy is my favorite storyteller.

[@Cedrickr]

in the customer's defence, I would have reacted the exact same way

[@jamesleigh3289]

2nd comment lol

[@Kharma710]

Getting a doug story is like getting a surprise Christmas gift

[@jeffreyoldham55]

Pretty damned funny, Doug. You made your point.

[@juiceda6]

Shots fired 😳 👀 😬 🤪 "exotic car hacks" 😆

[@jayfazio]

That sounds like money laundering

[@Sean-John]

It was a pretty funny joke.

[@MartinM04]

For the first time idk what I'm watching

[@MIHIFISI1]

Meeting strangers in rest stops!! LOL

[@jebadiahmorrison5058]

Why is it so out of sync...?

[@Nozam]

Full sales tax in CA too

[@Lewis-kf2pj]

Title is WRONG

[@risktkr77]

[@nathangiles8258]

[@philnleblanc6664]

The fact Doug has ANY customers is shocking. Guy has “D-BAG” stamped on his forehead.

[@ihyln1]

This video could have been an email

[@OliviaMartini-r6g]

Very high quality content! I can see that you put a lot of time and effort into your videos. Thank you for that!🌍🟫🏉
