The car business is one of those opportunities where people with little to no formal education can make truly incredible amounts of money. Because of this, it is very hard to leave. I know Ed understands this. Took me 20 years to get out and stay out, but the lessons I learned have been all I needed for the rest of my life.

I did the same thing back in 2006. Car lot desk job, calling ups and filling out 4 squares. I bought my own computer (the sales department didn’t have any) and started posting every single car on the lot onto CL. For 6 months straight, I sold 90% of the cars on the lot. Ahhh what a fun time being 21. Easy money. Ps. Now I hate selling cars lol. I only love owning them.

"The typical, sleezy car salesman." Shows a picture of Rabbit. You ain't slick lol.

The number of successful businesses launched because of dreadful bosses (or their offspring) is enormous. 22 years ago I had the worst service manager ever...

I used to work at Serpentini Chevy years ago and I hated it 😂😂

Rabbit and Tabbutt should do a collaboration car sales service.

Doug is definitely one of my favorites

The vacuum sales guy was defiantly a Kirby vacuum sales distributer. Great vacuum, but its a mlm scam. People above you take a cut of your sales like a pyramid lol.

Car sales seems to be where all the guys who absolutely love themselves go..

I know all about the "Land Rover Way" , the dealer politics and spoiled dealers, offspring!! This video. Brought back some memories! Lmfao!!

Yay it’s Doug. Love a Doug story ❤️

Always enjoy a good story from Doug!

Ha, I worked at Serpentini Chevrolet as a service porter for a time, and yeah, Bob Serpentini was a character. I ended up moving back to my mom's in Cincinnati after she came down with cancer, to help her out. My manager told me that Mr. Serpentini said that if I needed help finding a new job, he could help out. I always thought that was nice of him.

Most car people have a similar story. Me included. Being addicted to naming off cars as they passed by at the age of 5, to working at a dealer for years, now working for myself and selling buying and selling cool cars nationwide!

Another awesome story Doug, great to hear the background here

We just got rid of my gfs 13 sport. Biggest pile of crap weve ever dealt with. Sold it for 4k, she took about a 39k hit on it.

@@clubracer6 No, certainly getting up every day, knowing you’re going to be dealing with people who hate you before they even walk in the door does take a toll, the real problem with the automobile business is the hours. I was fortunate to have a great reputation and 85% of my clients were repeats and referrals, but it’s very difficult to maintain a family life with the demands of the car business.

Thanks Doug for making my day 😀😀😀

I recently bought a B9 S5 from them and his sales team was great. I couldn't afford 90% of the cars they had, but they still treated me just the same as someone who could.

Great story Doug. Thanks for sharing. Edit: Don't listen to the a-holes that are hating on you.

I haven't talked business to a car salesperson since '99. I did not realize a friend's family owns more than two dozen dealerships, so it's been $1200 over the cost to order whatever, whenever. Still don't go crazy "Switching up" vehicles...not going to waste the money on that

I too once sold used cars. Competition & dirtiness are equal to any contact sport. Mr Doug is cool....

Does anyone know the video Doug is talking about regarding his motorcycle business?

Dude I remember Bob Serpentini Chevy ads. Unsure if it was Cleveland or Columbus, but 💯

Great story. Serpentini Chevy wanted a 3K Markup on a Chevy Trax My cousin just bought.

I bought my first and last BMW from BMW Cleveland. Right next to LR Cleveland. I remember a salesman whom I wasn’t dealing with saying to me, “You gonna buy anything?!” I told him I just bought the loaded M3 over there. He then said oh, nice car and held the door for me. When I referred my new car he said, “We don’t sell cars, we sell BMWs.” It was cringy. I remember thinking, does this crap work on people? Cuz it ain’t doing anything for me except making me regret I came there. Later, when some things went wrong with the car the level of service both there and at Ganley BMW (the only two BMW dealers fairly close by) was abysmal. Meanwhile my buddies are glowing over how Lexus dealers fall all over themselves and the cars never break. I still, to this day cannot understand how BMW stays in business.

He gave my roommate one of those you have 3 options A, B and C. My roommate said D get the fuck out before I show you my gun collection. I came home about 30 minutes later and he was sitting in our cul-de-sac. He was in our house for over 2 hours. There is no way I could be a door to door salesman.

So in essence, he siphoned leads away from a dealerships website to his email. Then proceeded to refuse to share those leads with anyone else there. To add to this he then sold those cars on ebay instead of going through the actual dealership process.

@StephenFogarty2023

Nobody at the dealership was computer savvy. By putting the cars on EBay, he was exposing the dealership and their vehicles to a lot more potential customers. It was still a legit sale of the dealerships vehicles, by Doug. The Sales Manager knew what Doug was doing. If someone is selling plenty of vehicles, in a legit way, no problem with that… The Company running the dealership was very slack etc, because when Doug left, they did not cancel ALL of his computer access etc. Owners of the Dealership asleep at the wheel, regarding anything IT based !

The dealer asked me to set up their website which they had no clue how to do. I also listed cars on the dealership’s ebay account as part of my job. I set up my own website as well and brought in my own leads as a result of my own marketing. The other salesman wanted a piece of all that. You’re right, I wasn’t going to share.

It's a good thing Doug didn't get into the non-selling cars.

Can we get a wider cross-section of society on your channel? Not that I could do better, but new faces would be wonderful.

Gather around children, its story time with doug…

Before I watch the video I’ll make a guess. When he was a young buck selling dime bags to his friends he had major dreams of selling cars when he grew up. But unfortunately those dime bags of weed just wasn’t enough to make his dreams come true. So one day an older gentleman approached him wearing a suit and said I have a job for you, Doug thinking this it, this is how I’ll raise the money to start selling cars. So Doug was off to the races shipping coke from Columbia to Miami, and that’s the story!

I had to unsubscribe after the new fish and Jarrad. Hate em! But he has built a multi million dollar empire wearing bad shorts and boasting about how big his feetys are and won't fit in the back seat! Congrats but unsubscribed.

Nice typo in the title of this video. Can’t stand Doug either. Gives off a Walmart version Patrick Dempsey (who is a Target version of Paul Newman) wannabe race car driver/car dealer/youtuber.
