I'm using them too, great outfit. I've known Doug for a while and he's a great guy.

P.J.S.

my buddy just did a deal with doug and said it was as smooth as could be - doug did what he said he would do and my buddy was pleased

I bought Doug's demo enclosed Trailex and he was a pleasure to deal with.

Got my car from them. Doug actually found the car for me. Great experience, no surprises....would definitely deal with again !

Jon is a straight shooter. A close friend purchased a 2005 Turbo S from Switchcars. The car was as described and an good value IMO.
No affiliation with Switchcars.

I went down and visited them and was impressed with Doug and his group. They treated me and my friends like royalty. Based upon what I saw and how we were treated, I definitely would do business with them.

thusly

I've bought and sold a number of cars thru doug, including street and race cars. Never an issue.

I had very bad experience with switchcars.com , car not as they told me, and very bad faith from Doug when i've told him about the issues. He told him that i should have trusted him...
Good luck.
Kind regards.

I have never dealt with them or had any contact.
When they had your car for sale I knew it had issues. I went over the car personally long before they had it.
Sorry you got burnt.
When I read the description of the car without the issues it turned me off to them.

We were honestly not aware of the issues. We recommended, as we do with any car, that Stephan get a PPI. He got an ECU readout that showed 2 range 1 ignitions and no range 2+, but declined the rest of the PPI. The main issue wasn't brought to our attention until 6 months after the purchase. (there was a smaller issue brought to our attention about 2 weeks after the purchase, however, the car had 1000 miles already put on it, and when we reviewed the picture of the damage with the shop we use locally, there was no way to determine when it had been done, as it could have been done during transport, or after purchase). Apparently, on that car, everyone that knew about the issues declined to tell us. Those that know us know that if we are aware of an issue, we disclose it. Period.

7-1 sounds like a pretty strong recommendation to me. Not too mention sound advice to *always* obtain a PPI ...

I don't think there are many *really good" dealers who would have a 7-1 ratio, and the one negative in this thread is questionable.

I count one neutral, six pluses and two minuses, plus I count the dealer response as a negative -- there's no call for the dealer to question the credibility of the customer.

The dealer has no excuses for selling a car without inspecting it to their satisfaction and then disclosing what they discover. Mistakes are not the problem, it's how we deal with the consequences of mistakes which separates the wheat from the chaff.

When a dealer represents a car for sale, by definition, they lend their business reputation and good will to the transaction. The question centers around how the car was presented for sale. In any case, it's a matter of caveat emptor. Ironically, the dealer inadvertently exposed his business to this failure by allowing the sale of a car without completing the PPI -- that's a mistake by both parties; one where they've both hopefully learned the lesson.
