"Considering Aston Martin's build quality." There is basically nothing wrong with it except neglect by the owner(s).
Does it come with a bumper to bumper warranty ?
Hommes d'influence probably not, in which case he's totally f'ed 😂
.
it had 2 or 4 months i think
What do you expect on a ten year old car, obviously the gps is not up to today's technology
It was old even for 2007.
plug a scanner in while its idling and watch the live data for your fuel trims and see if they are going way negative or positive. also watch your o2's and see if they start to get lazy when they heat up
jay7264 True.
also I had the same issue in my car it didn't liked to be idling for very long and the cause was the o2 sensor and also one of the fuel injectors that was not giving the correct pressure anymore.
Why not just upgrade the software for the GPS?
+APiDA Online I have the same system in my '13 XC90 it's annoying as hell.
Future vanity plate... NOTDOUG
SkuzzyJ Doug demuro 😂😂😂
@ SkuzzyJ
Funny as hell :) NOTDOUG
I was not expecting this to be Doug's car lol
He runs a TH-cam channel and he bought this car with a warranty for a year, and did video about owning it.
i was just on dougs channel and realized i remembered seeing a video here on this channel and well...yea i came back lol
Right I was like what !
Same
Did Doug throw in an unlimited mileage bumper to bumper warranty with the car?
Audi_ophile I don't think it's transferrable.
You got Chugged by The Doug.
Blartboy Memedreamer g shit I feel like he doesn't treat his cars great
Having met him, He treats his cars as well as your grandma treats her camry. He takes care of his cars very well, but as if they were an appliance. He gets done what he has to get done, but there isnt necessarily any love behind the effort
Marcus Gesundheit having met someone and even knowing someone doesn't give you the inside track on what he does , I'm not being a wise guy just that people don't know others because you met someone ... I tell people one thing because I think that's what they want to here but hardly do the thing I'm saying..
congrats on your purchase , looking forward to your future experiences with the Aston and best of luck with it .
This looks suspiciously like Doug's Aston...
I wonder if the unlimited mileage, bumper to bumper warranty transferred
Thomas Williams nah
Bumper to bumper warranty baby
Holy perfectionist!!!!1 A little scrape on the bumper valance, a small dash imperfection, and yes... 2007 nav is going to suck, some 2016 factory nav sucks. Glove box sag... ask any older BMW owner! The wind shield does need replacing and the idle could be a bit annoying. :)
Right, a 2007 car isn't perfect, let alone a 10 year old British Car! Shocking.
When it comes to exotic cars, small scrapes and interior imperfections can affect the value by as much as an older BMW costs. So it's worth pointing out.
Thanks for posting this. It provides some insight into what the potential long-term issues are with Astons.
Get out and drive it and enjoy the imperfections !! Awesome car bro :)
You can get Volvo updated navigation maps that load through the CD and update the nav. Do a search and you'll find the info.
To remove the idle issue fit a remote switch to open the exhaust butterfly (fuse 22) this allows you to have the loud exhaust when you want and alleviate the long term idle issue.
With the SatNav (and I wonder if this is in your plans) you could potentially just tap into it as a display/and or utulise it's audio out too and use a raspberry pi/android box/carputer etc... and then fun's all yours.
The question is if you they've been kind enough to RCA it and it's a Y cable or splicy slice time and custom interface.
I've wanted this car for a while, now I'm not so sure if I should get one. Are you financing or cash payment?
People ask, if this is Doug's car. GUYS HE SAYS IT IN THE VIDEO. YES IT IS.
*triggered*
Title of the video: "Everything Wrong With MY Aston Martin"
At 3:13 "This car doesn't really have anything wrong with it"
Really dude....? REALLY? Thumbs down. Avoiding channel.
Stupid click bait.
Cody M it’s called thinking, for more money
I loved your video...I like the fact you are honest about the good and bad of your experience...Your car is gorgeous...I have a Lotus Elise, and just recently got rid of an E55 AMG and M6 Convertible...great cars, but like your Aston...they have quirks...The AMG had serious maintenance issues...and the M6 got 12 MPG!...they were fast though...Again...thanks...have been looking at a Vantage Convertible...some of the nicest interiors I have ever seen in any car!
You can upgrade your GPS software with DVD's from a Volvo XC. I found some on eBay for about $200 a couple years ago and they worked great in my '06 V8V. It has 96K miles and it's been a great daily driver.
"The only minor gripe i have..." after numerous minor gripes plus the title. Funny.
You would've got so many more views if you just put Doug Demuro's name in the title lol..
The fact that you said some bits piss you off makes me belive you mean it. Thank you sir. Great vid an honest opinion. I wish there was more like this.
Hey Man,
I loved seeing about the buyer of the Doug Aston. Please continue posting about this hand built girl. I am curious to learn about how this exotic holds up as she ages. Given the exposure this car has gotten, others may want to continue following up also. (I hope)
It surprises me to hear about how relatively few cosmetic flaws are showing up. I had/have a lot more from my 2012 Fiat 500 Sport and my (VERY boring) 2014.5 Camry Sofa-Sleeper on wheels.
Thanks! 😀
I'd look into the exhaust on that, mainly the cats. Once they get to hot they plug up, at least in my experience with my Jeep ... I mean everything sort of works in the same manner on all cars. Right ? Congrats on the car though, huge dream car for myself also. Glad to see you enjoying all the little details.
I have a car from 2002 with GPS..if you want to see what is outdated car GPS..if you want to scroll a map it takes ages..but again it works for what is for .. i downloaded new maps for 2016 and writed on CD
Its a transparent wrap, not translucent
Well... It was transparent. ;)
I owned an old Lotus Esprit for a few years. Never had anyone give me the finger, only a smile and a thumbs up now and then. But looking down at the comments below I see a bunch of guys essentially giving Freddy the finger for owning a nice car (not even a particularly expensive car, just one they're jealous they don't own). It's a sad comment on what the internet can do to people. Rock on, Freddy. Enjoying your videos!
such a nice car, here in Chile they are a lot
more expensive than what you paid!
Great channel!!
The Valentine 1 beeps a few times when you turn it on, although I can't remember exactly how many times. It sounds like the same tone as the V1 though.
My neighbours Vantage had the idle / check engine light fault. It went into Aston who cleaned the throttle body to help the idle quality and said that the O2 sensors were the cause of the check engine light not maintaining temperature after long idling.
So happy you got Doug´s car. That won you my sub.
I was actually quite upset when he sold it since I dop want to find out how long and far this car gets.
USE IT! DRIVE IT! JUICE IT!
BTW I like you on Jalopnik
Why so much dislike ?
He doesn't say bad or wrong stuff about the car or about Doug, he just check it in front of us ....
And he seem's to be a nice guy ^^
Thanks for sharing the price ,nice !
thanks, very good review, i'm just considering buying a 2007
Do you ever consider buying a Maserati granturismo? Similar price range and performance, both got great style.
I did, and the Granturismo is a great car. I got the Aston because it's more of a sports car and it had the manual option. I'd still get a granturismo later in life, awesome value.
You should look into the quattroporte's. Very cheap and look amazing (wouldn't want one with the DuoSelect gearbox though.)
APiDA Online Right, Aston has more aggressive and sporty looking, both car looks great, I just feel like I need that back seats on the granturismo lol
Wtf both cars cost over 100k € in my country
jaja They are pretty cheap in the US because there are more of them and because repairs are expensive.
it held its value better than the 2007 S63 AMG
That's because it's an Aston . For the same year , say 2006, a jag XJ that cost $ 75k new go for same price as a Mercedes S600 ( 128k new ) and BMW 760 Li ( 119k new ). German cars are nice when new but don't age well like the British cars. I've compared Jaguars and Astons interiors to the 7 series, S class and A8 for the same year and mileage and the British cars held up much better.
+Athenastarbrite thats not true about W221's. they still are faster, more luxurious, and more compatible with modern technology
I know BMW and MB are faster and have higher tech...... I was referring to the 2000- 2006 leather and wood quality which I have a thing for . And of course a S63 is going to resale better then a base XJ or 7 or A8.....:: it's AMG !!!!!!!!
Surag Madani Not true at all. German vehicles have a better resale value than britsh cars.
This is one of the most beautiful cars ever made, look at the sinuous details and beauty of the exterior, every line is gorgeous.
Do you have the bumper to bumper warranty car of Dough? Do you have also the bumper to bumper warranty? I was expecting that. It sort of is part of this car.
holy shit you bought the car from doug
Sounds like you need to replace the pcv valve, or the Aston Martin equivalent. That will solve the idling causing check engine light problem.
the exhaust is too restrictive? for idling? That makes no sense. Idling generates the least exhaust pressure, which is why turbo's have lag coming off idle. If the exhaust can handle the engine revving out, it has nothing to do with your exhaust pressure
rasvial
Not necessarily. Aerodynamic Physics. Increase Air Speed (coming out of the engine into the manifold and pipe) and you actually decrease Air Pressure or Back Pressure. (Granted, the flaw comes in dumping exhaust back into the atmosphere, but the muffler's expansion might kill this either way.)
Any number guys wanna run the math?
If you increase the air speed, while maintaining the same volumetric flow, that is correct. The difference isn't really in exhaust air speed- at idle it comes out of the engine at the same rate (real fast, as if someone lit an explosion under it's ass). Besides air speed isn't really a good measurement- volumetric flow rate is a better one. The difference is in volume- at idle you're pushing no volume, meaning it doesn't generate as much gas to be forced through the same restriction at approx. the same velocity. At full throttle, you're intaking much more air and fuel, and it exits the engine at approximately the same speed, so if you have an exhaust restriction, it's most likely to impact higher RPMs first, as this will try to force more volume through the same restriction.
(you asked for a "number guy"..)
lol your a savage at the end "unsubscribe if you want" haha
Hey, doug's car. Nice :). Looking foward for the upcoming videos.
You saved $100,000 worth of depreciation. A few 25c screws are broken. The leather trim isn't perfect. A performance engine doesn't like excessive idling.
What a whiner. Suck it up princess.
Ha Ha ,that's exactly what I thought . It's a 10 years old car.
If you stick with brake pads that are designed for the car, they will dust. They do that because they are made to provide greater friction without locking, and most compounds used do wear out more quickly...meaning the compound wears off as "dust".
Look around for different compounds...but expect to pay a bit more to get top breaking power and long wear.
The beeping.. do you have a sim card and/or phone connected to it? Sometimes cars beep to let you know about that stuff.
Things wrong with it up to the 5 minute mark (I lost interest after that):
1. It's dirty
2. Front bug shield/clear wrap is yellowing apparently
3. Front underside bumper is scratched
4. Bolt is loose or missing near rear left wheel well
5. Brake dust
Bro never ever show your plate number you never know there are crazy ass people out there love you Chanel
I like your critical reviews and I would say your limp home mode is a safety precaution. Connect a diagnostic kit which will throw up relevant errors such as lampda sensors (O2 sensors) that can be overidden. IMO never should have sold the Mitsubishi,,,what a classic!
Oh shit my last comment on your other video was asking if this was Doug demuros Aston ( which I was just Messing around) but dam it was his car! Lol good shit bruh
My 2014 Vantage would quit periodically when idling for short or long periods. It would start right back up again though. Once the engine light came on, then went out a few days later. When I got it into the dealership, they indicated a passenger side O2 sensor was at fault but they could not recreate the issue.
The main gripes I had with the car was the tendency for it to pop out of gear in reverse, an on/off clutch engagement, tall first gear which was taller than reverse and made starting or parking on hills a pain. I also had it back four times for the fuel flap sticking closed.
Seats, brakes, steering and suspension were excellent. Engine was ok, but didn't rev up easily from idle. Very comfortable long distance GT car.
Doug DeMuro old Aston Martin. I actually saw that car when he met up with us in Chiraq. The limb mode problem might possibly be a faulty coolant temp sensor or something related to the coolant overheating in that area due to low flow from idling. (That's my best guess of the top of my head from the information you gave in the video)
Had the same idling problem on my Cooper S, was a high pressure pump failure.
Jealous
lol
Thanks for the updates. I know your AMG is your new baby, but how about a follow on for the Aston Martin
can you pull a code on the idle issue? It's gotta be an OBD2 system? Just a guess but I wonder if one of the catalysts are kinda clogged? I would imagine it would put itself in Limp Mode if it thinks the exhaust is very restricted ..... ( just a guess on that )
talking about the check engine light and limp home mode. got to do like jared says. italian tune-up: rev it up real good.
All the negative comments. Why? Spend some wise money on repairs, enjoy it because it already has the miles so you don't have to baby it. Change out the clutch with a lightened flywheel and twin plates, change brake pads, have a shop look at you idling issue. No big deal. They are great, I have one. Tons of fun and more together as a package than my '04 Corvette ever was.
give me back my 12 minutes of life
hey man i like ur chanel. i have a 2011 Honda Odyssey and a 2013 Lamborghini Gallardo Cabr and got a question for u: why would u leave ur ASton idling for so long? I would make it with my Odyssey but for the last 4 years i ve never donne it with the Lambo. 'Big engines' does not like be idling for so long.
But does it have bumper to bumper warranty?
It is a beautiful car.
I’ve seen a video about the dash problem, and it was said that don’t park the car in the sun, especially in Florida. The leather will come unglued. I am curious as to the cost of the windshield. The President of the Southwest Aston Martin club said that the windshield on the Vanguish or Vantage (can’t remember which) was $15,000 to replace. I don’t know what year it was, either.
Honestly that's a steal for that car to me he's pointing out how he got a high mileage super car form Honda prices and even with the issues it's still an amazing vehicle
How come there are no updates for the GPS?
Get a good warranty, as you could see by Doug's, it was worth it.
May want to have the undercarriage of the Aston thoroughly detailed. And before you ask, yes thats a thing. Anyone who mentions anything about Doug driving it through salt is right. Pay for a professional exterior and undercarriage detail and you could save yourself a huge amount in the long run.
That push button glove box is sweeeet.
Is it just me or is the window chrome trim on the drivers door lifting? I noticed the same in the other video as well...
This video makes me feel a lot better about my '03 350Z
Bruh
the beep is probably for the maintnance light
I agree-- either that or seatbelt not being on, radar os something else.
tony skafidas na its not for maintenance as my DB9 doesn't make that beep at all. It sounds aftermarket.
Shay Butta Yer I had a feeling it was for a radar scanner
Check for vacuum leaks in the intake system.
cats may be ready to go. I would scan before and after waveforms for the cats. What code do you get? At least FL don't have emissions like NY
To avoid brake dust get yourself some Akebono ceramic pads (or any ceramic pads for that matter). Best investment ever.
The line to get into the Holland Tunnel was it an hour and a half long? I am so happy that I do not live anywhere near New York City.!
You should get the whole car re wrapped once you get the body figured out.. your going to be killing lots of Florida bugs with front of that car... best to keep the slime off it.
You should figure out a way to get your phone to display thought the pop up navigation screen. That would be a super cool mod, and might apply to a lot of cars that have navigation screens built into the dash.
I think the beep is a reverse sensor
For 60,000 plus miles she is in pretty good shape. Of everything that’s been mentioned the leather piece sticking up on the passenger windshield corner, the glove box, and the drivers side skirt would have to be fixed right away. Love the black on black stitching.
but did it come with bumper to bumper warranty?🤔
I'm not sure if someone had already asked, but was maintenance expensive on this car?
see if a v12 radiator will.fit or maybe stronger fans will fix if an exhaust wont
So I have had a Porsche and Infiniti and you get some bumper scrapes underneath like he showed where almost nobody can see it unless they are ducking underneath the car. Do you all think that really think that is a necessity that really needs to be replaced. And if another stone chipped your low bumper the next week are you paying 2k to replace it again?
WTF! I was like "...it's Doug's" at the start but when you confirmed it I shit myself! Subscribing now!
check your air mass sensor for the engine check light.
You did well Tavarish only small problems. Bargain. Win win!!.
Can you tell us how much it costs you to maintain it? Especially repairs??
I did car interiors/ upholstery for 25 years, that in fact its split leather and the only way to do it is remove the dash assy p-anel, and recover the complete section and then, my friend, leather is a natural product it will noticeably be a darker shade due to age and fade, but even so it may be worth it ' i'll predict 1500 to 2500 min.. and a nightmare for the shop those British builds are asstasticly beautiful but built well, odd.. love the car and vid..love the martins keep it rubber side down...
If the car is going to spend any amount of time in the FL sun you will want something to cover the leather dash with.
Fix for idling problem - stay the hell away from the NYC area. For unexpected accident backups, shut the engine off and on as before, keep a full tank of gas and an empty milk jug in the car.
Fucking knew this was Doug's car before you said it xD
you can tell this guy has never owned a high end car like this. he keeps saying "not a big deal" about areas that will cost fuckloads of cash. brakes $, loose running board $$, dash board/glove box $$$, complex engine light? $$$$$$ the front bumper work is probably the least expensive. id sell that thing AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!!! taking a small loss would be considered a win here
and if its a naturally aspirated car, idling without moving means there's no air being forced into the intake manifold and it essentially becomes oxygen starved, remedy if to get some speed going to get air flowing into the engine
that beep sounds like part of the *Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS)*
Hey the cars and coffee meet here in Jacksonville Florida would love to have you .
you should do a test drive
hey thats pretty cool, the guy doug sold his car to also had a youtube presence
Don't you think the beep is the radar detector you mentioned in a previous vid?
Does the engine turn off if you press the button or do you need to turn the key back?
Great video. Is this dougs car?
oh shit u bought it from Doug
