If you like cars, you probably know who Doug Demuro is. He is that guy on Youtube who reviews quirky cars. He is now launching a new car auction website (Cars & Bids), and the first car on that website is his own Mercedes E 63 AMG Wagon. As of today, Doug has owned 29 cars throughout his life. And this wagon was certainly one of the best ones. This is not your grandma's wagon. Under the hood, this wagon packs a crazy V8 engine with 518 horsepower.
Not Your Average Wagon
This wagon is a true sleeper, under the hood you can find a 5.5L turbocharged V8 with 518 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque. It delivers incredible performance numbers. It accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds. All while preserving plenty of room for your family and cargo space. This AMG Wagon has 87,200 miles on the clock, and although there are five days left, the current bid is for $32,000.
What Doug Drives
Doug is the type of guy to own two convertible V8 SUVs. He likes interesting cars, and he buys them. Before this AMG wagon, he daily drove a Range Rover with the CarMax's famous bumper to bumper warranty. In 2017, Doug bought the 518 hp wagon and traveled across the country, from Minnesota, where the car was, to Philadelphia, where he lived. Then, he moved to San Diego and took this car with him.
He had the Mercedes Benz certified pre-owned bumper to bumper unlimited-miles warranty. That warranty is expiring this August, and that is one of the reasons he's selling it. Although he said that he would never do that again since they didn't cover most of the problems the car had. He currently owns a 2006 Ford GT, 90's Land Rover Defender, and a 1999 Mercedes Benz G-Wagen.
What's Next?
Doug mentioned in his new video that he already bought the new car, and it will be unveiled later this week. When he bought the wagon, his budget was $40k to $50k dollars, and besides this wagon, he also considered a BMW X5M, Mercedes GL 63 AMG, Porsche Cayenne Turbo, and Mercedes ML 63 AMG. We should expect a car for the same, or more amount of money.
He used the wagon to film other cars, so we should expect something comfortable but quick. In his newest video, he mentions he doesn't need something that big, so he will probably get a smaller car. We have no idea what car Doug bought, but we're sure it's something cool.
