The Lincoln Town Car was the last true, old-fashioned American luxury sedan. Today I'm reviewing a Lincoln Town Car to show you what I mean -- and I'm driving this Town Car to show you why the 2005 Lincoln Town Car was the end of the line for old-school American luxury sedans.

Doug DeMuro BUICK PARK AVENUE ULTRA
Btw: you need to update your playlists!
I will
ReALly? 😂😂
Are people really buying those?
Your signed photo idea gets a Doug score of 0
T-shirts would be a way better choice
...yeah it's a bit like when the commentator of a football match signs the poster of a famous player but the player doesn't sign it - and then 20 years later when cleaning out the cupboard you see the dodgy signed poster all ripped and folded up in a random manner crushed uncaringly under old Playboy and Metal Hammer magazines and you think "this poster sucks what was I thinking this is worth nothing - I think I'll throw this out"
I just need to know how much it scored at the weekend category in styling... xD
Up to 90 characters face ass
Lol, I know some people will pay, but what is this guy thinking? We just want Glamorous headshots
Stay tuned for the “Doug DeMuro premium Snapchat 18+ only”
Edit:There’s clear demand for this, Doug were waiting
He'd be wearing only one T shirt. Scandalous
You mean we'd get to see his quirks and features? And then we'd give him a doug score?
hed be in tighty whiteys
@@mathewbsaenz most things get a Doug Score only after they are ridden for a while. I'm going to pass on that, hahahah!
@@mathewbsaenz lol
2011 was a terrible year for car enthusiasts. They killed the crown Vic, the town car and they killed Saab
They killed everything
evil omen;so srry 2 hear tht
This is why I don’t have a Saab…
GM killed Saab, started putting some terrible Opel parts in Saab and then people noticed that they have reliability problems etc
saab is underrated
Everyone: "A picture is worth a thousand words"
Doug: "Best I can do is $50"
This makes literally no sense.
Bruh
@@nicklasveva it's possible that they meant:
Everyone: "A picture is worth a thousand words."
Doug: "Best I can do is 90 characters!"
50 bucks of a picture is literally peak arrogance.
Signed photos? Next he'll be selling VHS copies of his RUclips videos.
Lord Epping hahhah
HAHAHAHA!!!! LOL!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Best comment thus far
Lol should put that on a shirt
Doug the kind of guy to put a character limit on a signed photo.
No symbols or numbers please ;)
He didn't say what language it had to be, so Mandarin it is.
That on a Tshirt would be fun.
Honestly Doug should sell t shirts with like his favorite "Doug the type of __" comment
That's a quirk, so give him a break.
Just bought one at 24 years old and I'm in love with the comfort and class of this masterpiece. Very happy with my purchase!
Still have it? how is it?
cool
I LOVE my 2004, and yes I am 60 but my 31 year old daughter loves to borrow it for road trips. And my 6byear old Granddaughter LOVES it too!
My dad had this car when I was a kid. We used to always get people coming up and saying “nice car” and looking at it when we stopped at gas stations. All I really remember was how much room we had inside, how long it was, the digital dash, nice sound system.
That’s nice
Digital ?
@@cheryvids2487 Dude there were "digital dash" (speedometers) in the 1980s..........
I have a 2003 Lincoln towncar. The only thing that I hate about it is that its so long and wide and it makes it hard to parallel park LOL

But people are smart enough not to pay a small fortune for a little photo
@@joespittle1 nah people will pay
@@joespittle1 I hope so.
@@joespittle1 Yeah, people are dumb asses, they will pay.
It is gonna be endless...
This car is magnificent -- an absolute classic. Man, I wish they still made cars like this. A few minor upgrades is all it needs. Put a modern Ford 5-liter V8 under the hood, with a six-speed automatic transmission, and it would still sell like hotcakes!
They last too long..doesnt go along with cars nowdays and their planned obsolescence
Modern car engines are ticking time bombs. They want cars to fail so people are forced to buy new.
That anemic old V8 might have been extraordinarily underpowered even when it was new but they are known to last 250k miles with mediocre maintenance and over 400k with good maintenance... That engine puts any Japanese car to shame probably because they knew their market for the engine (police and livery use).
I miss the Panther platform so much :'(
All things considered, in my mind anyway, they really were the best American cars ever made....
I wouldve taken the shirt for $35. Wtf ima do with a signed photo from a dude who reads car manuals for a living?
Chris B Best. Fucking. Comment
Just go on Spreadshirt and search for Doug Demuro, you will find your shirt.
Yes just get a guy beside a cool car and ya got one for free
glue it to your t-shirt
Chris B oh yeah why u butthurt cause he makes more money than you jackass lol 😂
I want "Doug is the type of guy to put a character limit on a signed pho-" on my signed photo
I don't think Doug has realized how may "the type of guy" requests he's probably going to get....
Who else counted the characters?
this is an incredible comment
🤣
I have a hard time associating 2005 with “old school”
Ikr. I have a 2007 Grand Marquis and to me it’s “new” just because growing up we didn’t have brand new cars. In 2006 my family had a 98 Grand Caravan, to put it in perspective.
I consider anything made in the 2000's to be a modern car. Cars in general changed a lot more going from the 80's to the 90's than from the 90's to the 00's. For the last decade it's just been about engineering them to fail under the guise of 'innovative technology' and ever worse construction quality all around. Oh yeah, 2005 Grand Marquis LS Premium owner here.
They’ve been using this same frame since the 70s. And this particular engine was produced since 1991.
2001 is more old school and better styling imo
I have a 2008 Honda Accord V6 coupe and it’s the newest car I’m gonna get. And even that’s rusted out and I’m probably going to have to sell it for parts this week.
(𝑰𝒇 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒂 𝒉𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒂, 𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝒎𝒆 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘!!!)...😚
We bought used 2005 Town Car just yesterday. It is absolutely identical except the alloys are different in design. Same color and all. It's exactly what Doug says. Simple, cushy, lumbering, and low tech. Absolutely refreshing after our tight, high tech Prius with a bad ride. We bought the Lincoln for touring in comfort. I'm 6'5" 280lbs. It fits me like a glove. Thanks Doug!
love you doug but the signed photo thing is a bit cringy...
Very....
...are naked ones extra $?
signed photos is something you bury on the merch website, not promote so heavily before every video. just some humble advise.
Well I mean its Doug...What do you expect 😂
Y’all hatin on Doug but this man on his way to being the goat of car reviews. Next 3 years he might hit 10 mill or even a tv show/special. I think it’s a quirky cool thing.
Fans: t-shirts, stickers, keychains!
Doug: signed photos
for $50 bucks...Lmao.
Not t-shirts. We want Doug shorts
Why sell a useful article of clothing when you can sell an expensive, pointless photo that you can add to your collection of useless clutter?
He should sell t-shirts to wear under your t-shirt.
I want a Doug Tee to wear UNDER my other Tee.
I've had 4 towncars, from 1994- to my 2011 last one. The most reliable car I've ever owned and drove. Every lincoln car I've owned made it past 400,000 miles. One of them, I don't remember which year model, I've racked up 486,000 miles. And the only thing I did was change oil on them. Ah im getting nostalgic.
I hate it when people say all they did was change the oil lol. You did tires, brakes, tune ups, etc. It's a fucking car, it needs things.
@@goodgollyjosh Some people are dumb enough they actually don't do those things and wait until the car craps itself
I like Lincoln's. Are the air ride shocks real expensive?
I had a 2006 grand marquis. Went 150,000 miles and only thing I did was valve cover gaskets at 150,000 which probably broke the intake manifold piece. Oil every 3,000. Changed spark plugs and coil packs at 150,000. Also the intake manifold made of plastic that connects to hose busted. Had to get a new intake manifold. Other than that, that’s it. My leather someone got busted and ripped but car always ran. Oh and tires once or twice
I will always choose this over luxury crossovers
Same here! Or any luxury sedan
Old cars are more quirky than the clone cars we got now
@@yes8032 you would pick a town car over any bentley or rolls royce?
@@brodyvermilyea114 no I mean I would get any luxury sedan over a crossover rolls and Bentley are still 1000x better than this tho

$50 photo 😂😂, Doug turning into supreme
SoHo Don yo this nigga stupid
That's $50 more than actual celebrities often charge ...
It's predecessor The Lincoln Continental demands a review (V8) and by it demands I mean me and by I demand I mean please.
Facts its not many people that want a signed photo. $10 wouda been fine
The only allowable text on the $50 pic is a "Doug the type of guy ..." joke
So true...
thats more overrused than youtuber merchandise
"Sincerely, Doug, the type of guy to charge $50 for this dumb photo"
So how would you like your car?
Old people: *_L A R G E_*
Also me
I love my Town Car (I'm 30)
And slow
THERE IS EVEN A LARGER LINCOLN TOWN CAR= THE L!! AT THE END OF THE NAME PLATE
So?
"The Town Car is body-on-frame... which is an old-school way of constructing cars you just don't see anymore, except for full-size pickups and some large SUVs." Yes, it creates a strong, solid, and extremely durable vehicle, hence why modern rugged vehicles use it and, as you cite later, is what gives this vehicle the ability to go hundreds of thousands of miles even under the heavy use and abuse of large city livery services.
You also mention they didn't upgrade it over the years, expecting it to go out. I'd argue it actually went out because of lack of upgrades. From 1998-2011, it received very little treatment and the engine in 2011 was still lower in performance than a Cadillac Fleetwood from 1994. Have Mercedes or BMW not change or upgrade one of their models for over a decade and see how well their sales go. I think Lincoln wanted to phase out the Town Car, not its customers, so it could phase in cheaper, yet more modern, construction.
No, the customers were drying up(or, more accurately, dying off). The vast majority of panther platform sales at that point were police cars and livery vehicles, but even those sales were drying up. Continuing the platform would have been a disastrous move, especially with all the money they would've thrown away on getting the 30-something year old platform to keep up with changing fuel-economy, emissions, and safety regulations.
It was the longest running platform of any American auto maker ever- it was time to retire it. But they were fantastic vehicles
All facts. The powers that be have been trying to destroy this type of car since the early seventies. These represent solid independence. That’s a no no
Sounds pretty spot on
Well Ford didn't upgrade it because of the SUV trend, Lincoln only sells SUVs & Crossovers now and the Navigator has replaced the Town Car as their top luxury limo. They even tried bringing the Continental back but it wasn't very attractive and the Navigator killed it in sales.
Do you want to know why the Lincoln Town Car only has 224 HP? Do you know why? Because the elderly do not need more than this power!!! What silly and stupid excuses!! Lexus Ls and Mercedes S Class, most of their owners in the nineties were rich and elderly, but did this prevent them from putting a powerful engine in their cars!!! They will tell you that because of the low sales and high demand for 4×4 cars, is this the stupid reason that prevented them from installing a powerful engine, new transmission and improved suspension in the year 1990-2003 ?????
The Owner of this car after the video: " This Asshole changed my Clock!"
I fell like he is the type of guy who would fix that after the video
I immediately thought of both of those things. So glad you guys did, too! :)
i read that in an old man's voice
owner of this car cannot find owners manual after this video
Doug took a shit in his trunk
"maybe a windshield sticker would be nice?"
Doug: Here's a signed photo of me
And only with the cars I pick too! I say I'm not biased, but really I am!
I managed to snag one of these gems in good condition for $2,700 just four days ago. They are every bit as comfortable as they claim to be. Even with heavily worn front and rear end parts, this boat simply floats over the road without a care in the world. Potholes are merely an afterthought in these machines. Great car.
My 05' Town Car has the retractable moon roof. Freakin' awesome cruising along the lake in the summertime in this car. Looks sharpe sitting in the driveway too. Beautiful car. I get lots of nice comments. They made a big mistake not making these anymore.

I just love how everyone focused on the signed photos and completely forgot about the car in the whole video
Because it took up a huge chunk of the start of the video, lmao.
I just skipped over the promo.
And the car is great, I just love this old American style.
It's only because it is worst that review. And this is kind of art that exist thing worst that Doug talking.
thanos mousios
It sucks too because this is the video I have been waiting for and the beginning had to get bombed.
I really miss these good old Town Car/Crown Vic/Grand Marquis siblings. Super comfortable,ultra reliable,good MPG for the size. I would take one of these over any new luxury car made today.
The only cars I’ve had all my life were a Buick lesabre , then got a grand marquis, then got a Lincoln town car lol. Boats and hoes!!!
The finest American car ever built.
Um NO
Signed Doug photos for 50$ ? 1st of april was 2 month ago !
He raised the prices so he doesn't have to sign tens of thousends photos every week.
It’s still stupid

@R A yes
...is he naked?
Doug, the kinda guy who thinks people rather buy signed photos of cars than t shirts.
just want a t-shirt!

Just took my Town Car out to one of my favorite Greek family restaurants this year and I never had so many looks dropping my mom and the front entrance. Love it!
Doug is the type of guy to forge his own signature because of resell value
I love this whole series of cars (Towncar / Grand Marquis / Crown Vic) and everyone thinks I'm nuts.
same here, My wife think Im an old man stuck in a young mans body
Joe Doe bro as someone who is 15 I’ve considered getting this as my first car when I get my license
Edit: hi guys, a little update. I ended up getting a 2014 ford focus as my first car and at the time of me commenting this, I've owned it for a little over a month. So far I haven't had any major issues with the car
@@Will-pl4tp that's awesome! Follow your dreams buddy!
@@Will-pl4tp As a 17 year old, I'm saving up for one as my first vehicle. There's one around the corner from me for $2200. I believe they are the best buy for a low price, especially for the comfort and reliability it offers (there are many Town Cars hitting 500k miles without a problem).
Maddox Harley I wonder if any of the town cars hit 1 million miles. Also from what I’m hearing it seems like a nice car. My dad owns the 08 Grand Marquis and my Gosh it’s comfy as hell!

Hope you don’t mind that I’m going to use your exact words when I order a pic from @Doug DeMuro

@Kevin Prima Commie Trump? Where did you hear this?
Lincoln: "Old people don't need a Rev counter, it is completely irrelevant to know how much RPM you have."
Also Lincoln: " *C O M P A S S* "
Like, why would I need to know the direction I am going in a SEDAN? It's not like you can go offroading in it and cross a freakin desert where you need to know the direction you are going... Roads usually have road sings that tell you where you are headed.
Back then they only had maps and you needed to know in which direction to put the map, a compass may have helped you with that
Think bro.
Sure, I know there were times when Sat Navs didn't exist. But I can only talk about my experience in GERMANY. And I know a lot of people who navigated by road maps, even semi-truck drivers who had to navigate tens of thousands of km across all of Germany only with a paper road map.
And NONE of these people had taken a compass with them. They managed to use the maps the right way without ever feeling the need to have a compass. Maybe we have better road signs here, that could be the reason why nobody uses a compass for analogue paper map navigation over here.
@@derwolf200 Nobody in the US uses compasses either. I've never known anyone who actually "needed" a compass. It's there to simply add one more gadget. It has nothing to with your mystical road signs. Rest assured that all our roads are clearly marked North, South, East, and West save for a few sections of rural road where there are few if any people.
It's funny cuz in 06 it got a tach 😂
This was the typical taxi car in NY. I remember riding in one of these cars, and being impressed by the comfort. The motor didn't make any noise or vibration. Irregularities on the road seem to disappear. Wonderful comfort.
Doug the type of guy whose signature is worth $34.75.
Except it's not.
Just Me 😂
I don’t think it’s worth 2 bucks also 😂😂😂
I get the feeling that these cars either have 40,000 miles or 400,000 miles. Not much in between.
And if it's in good condition appearance wise, It hardly makes a difference. The late Panthers are Zippo dependable. (And I'm a GM guy!).
Got mine for 85,000
Got a 1999 executive for $2400 with 118000 off some old people very well taken care of got a steal on it. When I found the ad listing off Facebook marketplace it was only posted for 23 minutes
Mine has 243,000 it's a 99
The 4.6 V8 was an iconic engine as far as reliability. We have an Expedition with a 4.6 with close to 250k miles on it. I would trust it to go anywhere in. We just picked up an 03 Town Car Cartier edition with just over 100k miles on it (all dealer maintained). Only way I'll part with it is if I find a deal on one with even lower miles. Our 1 German car is going to get angry if we bring home another v8 Ford product! Lol
My mom has a 2009 Lincoln town car limited edition and I absolutely love it. It's very much worth it! I'd buy one If I could for myself. Handles well, cruises well and is definitely spacious. Pisses me off that they stopped making them. 😭😭🤧
One of the best luxury cars ever made. Reliable and comfortable.

had the pleasure of driving one of these years ago for about a month and it was amazing. super comfortable and although it was fast, it was fast enough. on the highway you cant tell how fast your going, because it rides like a cloud. you can ride this car to the ends of the world and your back will not hurt. amazing car.
Look up Lincoln’s with Turbos. lol sleepers

Yesterday was my graduation and a friend made me and my friends a surprise by giving us a ride to the ball with Lincon Town Car limousine and it was awesome.
In my opinion, considering the age, this is one of the most attractive car ever made. Subtle and effortlessly elegant. Doesn't scream "I got money" like other luxury vehicles nowadays, but get's you from A to B without breaking a sweat. One of the biggest mistakes Ford has ever made by discontinuing the model.
I agree. A well maintained Town Car looks way classier than any modern luxury car. It STILL looks great today. Definitely going to be a classic. It might not be breaking any design frontiers but it just looks good.
Just needs a cheap LS engine and transmission swap and then the power and fuel economy issues are solved!

LTC is simply has the best comfort to value ratio of any vehicle. Inexpensive to buy, maintain, repair, insure. Easy to work on and lot's of used parts available. As comfortable as high end luxury cars for 1/3 the price Obviously doesn't drive like a sports car but many don't care about that. It's particularly good as a long highway drive people hauler.
My grandma spotted a 2004 Lincoln Town car in the parking lot of a VA(veterans affairs) hospital, with a for sale sign. It said 38,000 miles, never been driven in the winter. No price on the sign. An 80 year old man walks over and says he's the one selling the car, and that it's going for $10,000, willing to barter. This dude was the nicest man ever. Good, trustworthy seller.
My grandma is gonna go back tomorrow and get the car for somewhere around 9K. She's getting it for me just because she knows it's my dream car, and wants me to have a car to drive for years to come. I'm 18, never been happier. Cherish your elders while you have the chance, I'm blessed and I thank my grandma every day for what she does for me

The '78 had a 460, the '79 had a 400. If I were to buy another, and I'm thinking about it, it would be a Continental Mark III with a full-power 460 cu. in. engine
As a former valet driver, these were the best cars to get into. Owners always swore by them and would never give them up.

I think that this is a perfect car for getting from work to home because it’s relaxing and comfortable and you can get at home in a relaxed mood and not still stressed out like in a normal car and it’s cheap to buy and very reliable...anyway have a nice day 😉
Makes total sense, i need a more luxurious car. Hate driving a crappy car to and from work it's like torture sometimes
Signed photo, PERFECT! It'll match the Doug pillow cases.
Talk about inducing nightmares!! 😂
it'll match the Doug body pillow
I need a Doug Demuro bodypillow
@Tattle Boad r/woosh
How about a Balenciaga x Doug Demuro double tshirt?
That's fire with quirks and features
Y/Project beat you to it. Check out the Y/Project layered t-shirt. Also their double and triple shirts.
RockSolitude yea but it aint from doug demuro
@@RockSolitude Yohji and Rick beat Y/ to it more than a decade ago, if not almost two lol. and I believe I remember an archive Rei Kawakubo's CDG from like late 80s or early 90s
I've recently found this channel and it's really interesting how things like the gauges and the size of the buttons can clue you into the target market for any given car. These are things I never would have thought about, but it makes sense given the Town Car is mainly aimed at older people. I'm not really a "car guy" so learning about all these little touches is fascinating to me.
I happen to love this car and I've heard such wonderful things about them , I think it's very cool and it's extremely roomy and comfortable, I also appreciate that it's proven rear wheel drive and built very strong , I'm buying one tomorrow for only 4 grand so for me it's a bargain , also the styling of this car really grows on you from the waterfall grill to the beautiful round big red tail lights the 03 on was more beautiful than the earlier models , I test drove one and found that the v8 had plenty of power for me so I think you might have gave this car too low of scoring but that's just my opinion , for comfort stability and reliability I don't think you can go wrong with one of these if you find one in good shape , I noticed the car you reviewed had 460,000 miles on it , that's amazing, thanks Doug as always your reviews are very informative and entertaining to watch , keep up the good work
Would’ve definitely preferred a Doug DeMuro hoodie..jus saying
Savannah G one with, “DOES THE GHIBLI¿”
Same
@Savannah G - With print "Thisssss is a 2019 Doug DeMuro hoodie"
I’d buy a signed T-shirt but not a 50 dollar photo
Just take a screen grab, print a 14 cent photo at Wal-Mart, then add a scribble signature with a Sharpie. VOILA. Save $49.86.
Lol
Or just beat him to death with a hammer 😀
@@AmeerHamza-nv2ei what the hell is your issue?
The photo is like the dumbest idea ever. I give it a Doug Score of negative seventeen -17. Who's ever gonna see it? How does that promote the channel? I'd pay $50 for a Doug D hoodie however. And everywhere I go - everyone's gonna see it.
Known as "Land Yachts", these 'old school' buggies were an enviable sedan to own when making long trips, and I owned a few Caddies and Lincolns because it was like sitting on your living room couch!
That cornering light is awesome. Had an executive series version of this, by far the most comfortable, smoothest ride I've had. And serviced properly, these go 500k miles.
My 96 Buick Park Avenue had the feature too.
This still has a more modern dashboard than a 2019 Nissan 370z
$35 or $50 for a 5x7 photo? Forget next day, there better be next hour delivery for that price.
I totally get not wanting to have to sign thousands of them though, lol
The price is high so he doesn't have to sign a ton of them, I remember him saying this somewhere. I can't blame him, would you want to sign thousands of pictures?

@@Wowezzersdozzers he even said it in this exact video
lets be realists hes not gonna see thousands of autographs.Doug loses points for this idea
@@ThePizzaDevourer do you understand that it's not gonna be thousands? Its Doug demuro. No one wants to pay $10 for a signed photograph that costs 5 cents if he bought in bulk cause the idiot thought he would get thousands of orders.
Even if they did. What's 10 × let's say 5000?
That's $10 for 2 words.
This specific model of the Lincoln town car is among the most beautiful production American car. They say it is old school but it doesn't look like that at all. This car is beautifully designed, well built, and has good craftsmanship.
I worked as a chauffeur (driver of a black/private car) for a few years and we used the Executive (long wheelbase) version. The industry has basically switched to the Cadillac XTS and we briefly had a new Continental (amazing), but there were still Town Cars around when I drove, and we have a couple still today that we don't take clients in. Clients would sleep laying sideways in the back (dont try that in an XTS), TCs could hold ALL the luggage, and ours have 400k+ miles running and driving to this day. love em. So glad you did a video on them, Doug!
$50 for a signed photo??! Who do you think you are Doug Cruise!? Dwayne the Rock Dougson?! FOH
MADMANB68 the Dwayne the rock dougson killed me 😭😭💀
$50 for a lot of his viewers is literally nothing.
Lol lol lol
I'm dying, Dwayne the rock dougson
Doug Cruise had me 😂😂😂
Signed photos....who do you think you are an adult actress
I just bought a 2004 Town Car with only 4500 miles on the clock. One of the few things Doug doesn't mention about these cars is that you CAN find super nice, low mileage examples for less than a third of the original sticker price! Mine cost MUCH less than any entry level sub-compact car today and it will likely last me for the next 20+ years. And yes, it's every bit as enjoyable, comfortable, SMOOTH and reliable to drive as Doug mentioned. Sporty? Nope! But everyone who rides in it is amazed how comfy it is! :-)
Wow that’s awesome! Great find! Absolutely love these town cars, owned 3. Going to get another, if you don’t mind me asking what did you pay for yours?
@@jaymorello4161 Hey Jay, I paid $15K for mine. It had ever option available except a sunroof (which I didn't want) and didn't have a spot of rust anywhere on the vehicle. It might be a lot to some, but I wanted a like-new example and after waiting a year to find one, I pulled the trigger. No regrets.
I have a 1999 Town Car and I love it to death had it passed down to me by my grandparents, still running like a champ to this day 204,600 miles on it
I'm looking at buying a 1999 Signature Lincoln Town Car with 64k miles for 5-5.5k. They already changed out the shocks/struts and ball joints. Is this a good price?
@@AlrightyThen2003 yes it is
@@dawsonbrush Thanks! I found out it has a rebuilt title due to a grandpa hitting his mailbox and insurance totalling it. I know that diminishes the value but am gonna check it out today anyways since it's low mileage and nice..
@@AlrightyThen2003 yeah man, they are really good cars, I still have mine but I recently got me a little Nissan for better gas mileage but they run forever and are pretty easy to work on if you ever have issues with them, but 5k with only 63k mile on it, is a good price
@@dawsonbrush Sooo I went out there and test drove it but the transmission was slipping and thumping on the highway. When I brought it up to the old guy selling it he got mad at me and said "thanks for wasting my time." Guess he was upset someone noticed lol. Maybe next time!
Nobody:
Doug: WHO WANTS RUclipsR MERCH?? HERE ARE SIGNED PHOTOS OF ME WITH A COOL CAR
Yeah, I really don't think he thought that through. Sure, T-shirts are kind of boring and everybody does it, but they at least are useful for something.
Does he really think people will buy, frame and hang on their walls postcard sized pictures of their favorite RUclipsr?
Getting something signed usually is a souvenir, something to remember the moment you met some celebrity in public by and show to your friends to prove to them that you actually did meet that person. Buying a signed picture and receiving it by mail, doesn't even do that.
I like Doug and this channel and I'm not one of those guys who only seem to be here to write "Doug, the type of guy..."-comments, but the idea to buy such a photograph is a pretty bizarre notion and I think only a small number of weirdos are likely to consider something like that.
TrangleC I agree completely. I got excited when I saw he was talking about merch, then I saw the picture thing and I was like aww... I like Doug and I like this channel, and I really like this video the town car is awesome. But I don’t want a picture of a car with some guy on it.
I guess I’ve never thought of you tubers as being famous enough for just autographing something to add value to it.
I think Doug is missing how many of his older male fans are. It would be cool to have a shirt so maybe if I’m at the store or something someone will see the Doug shirt and know I’m a car dude or at least know I support Doug.
If you need money ask for donations, I’d gladly give honestly. Hell even a large poster would be a lot cooler to hang up. But a small tiny thing what the hell am I gonna do with that.
Love you Doug.
@@TrangleC ...hey are you calling me a weirdo for lusting after a signed Doug picture to hang over my bed as I lay naked under it...how dare you lol! Hoovie would buy one!
Its weird that this guy is famous
printed photo for 35 or 50 dolars? DAMN SON :D
Doug your reviews are so good and merch is ok but pls forget your idea and make shirts
Then he can make a lot of money.
Ay I want some wearable merch. Fine I'll make my own Doug DeMuro top, with blackjack. And hookers!
Ah forget the top. And the blackjack.
One of my favorite cars. I remember going to a restaurant in Florida and upon leaving It actually felt like I was at a Lincoln Dealer as the entire parking lot was full of Town Cars and maybe one or Cadys. If you were having a lucky day you would see one with a Landau Roof and Continental Spare tire, then you knew who the baller of the Villages was !
I love these panther platform cars. I'm more of an old school guy, and for me, this brings that old school feeling into the modern era, and I adore that.
"Here's why signing autographs is Doug Demuro's worst idea ever"
it’s a bit sad, really. Even sadder would be having one one, though

Merch idea : car stickers
Anything with cars
Anything but signed pictures lol
Something like RCR's key tags would be great.
"THIS is a key fob."
"Quirks and features!"
Bro I've been commenting this for the past 2 videos since his brilliant idea of selling 50 dollar pictures of his ugly ass next to a terrible angle of a car.. I'd buy a bumper sticker that says "Doug score of 1000" or something like that 😂 car merch would only make sense.. in todays market, you can have keychains and bumper stickers made for cheap and you can sell for double. Idk where he got the idea of pictures tho 🤦🏻♂️
Jesus Dominguez Can somebody try and contact him??
Iced Ink yeah like keychains or bumper / mirror stickers . Like you talk about cars if you don’t wanna see shirts there’s so much other stuff you can do involving cars for cars 😂
Keychains of cars
This is my fist car I cannot wait to get my permit in a few months I’m so exited!
Enjoy it.
