Doug has made a living selling cool cars but he got started doing the exact thing manufacturers and dealers hate most - flipping. Here he tells us how he did it and what the manufacturers did to stop him. Check out SwitchCars for his latest inventory.

LOL! Exactly. Nothing against VINwiki, these videos are awesome and I really enjoy them. But come on, who would honestly want a VINwiki t-shirt? I clicked link because I thought it might have some cool cars or some kind of cool design. Nope, just a plain T-shirt with the VINwiki logo for $16. I'd genuinely like to know how many they have sold. I'm here making fun of it but there are alot of weird people out there, they have probably sold more shirts than I'm thinking. If I had to take a guess I'd say 25 or so maybe 50 tops. I just can't see that many people wanting one.

Much like Doug, my first car sale was done with only a single phone call, and some texts. I sold a heavily modified Liberty Walk GT-R two days after listing it, which probably won't happen again for eternity haha. Also impressive of Doug for locking down 12 allocation on GT3RS cars, a shame for him he couldn't rake money while flipping unicorns! My future goal is to start driving/flipping exotics occasionally for extra cash, it really seems stupid not to try as a car lover. Another great video!

Sadly this happens with almost any brand out there that releases a car with some hype/anticipation behind it. As a Porsche fan I'm kind of kicking myself for thinking they were any better than everyday brands like Honda (Type R) or Ford (RS) when it comes to selling their 'special reserve' cars. Its all about dealership politics, allocation games, and supply and demand. Interesting video, in the end the manufacturer washes their hands while creating the scenarios that allow markups to happen.

I don't think you guys realize how much it costs to get involved in a lawsuit against a big company like Porsche. Porsche probably has 20 high priced lawyers on retainer just WAITING for someone like Doug to come around and sue them for something like this. A company with deep pockets can keep an individual like Doug in court for YEARS. By the time a settlement comes along (providing Doug actually wins his case), he has spent so much money on attorney's fees that he actually ends up LOSING money. There is NO upside to getting involved in a lawsuit like that with a company as big as Porsche...

You could probably also do somewhat good running a car brokerage service with not-so-exotic older models and moving them from the fair weather areas of the south and west coast regions over into the rust-belt region of the country. It'd involve smaller margins and having to know a different niche than this one. (Think of mostly project cars, where the hobbyist mechanic/builder doesn't want to start with a rusted out chassis. And then go with what's involved from there.)

Porsche's 918 VIP program has totally changed the dynamic of buying GT cars for us "regular" customers. It used to be if you had a good relationship with your dealer and were early to order, you'd probably get a car. Now, at least half of the US allocation for a rare model is already spoken for by 918 owners who always get first dibs. It created a mess, and the higher ups at Porsche now know it.

What this guy was doing can be interpreted as price gauging and fixing. He was getting cars by the bulk denying other people the opportunity to buy them at sticker and reselling them all for profit.

You mean MISinterpreted as a price gouger. The cars, like any limited supply items in extremely high demand, will inevitably go up in value. That means that there will be resellers 100% of the time, and it becomes simply an objective matter of putting yourself in a position to invest in an appreciating asset. You need to evaluate the whole picture before making an incorrect assumption. You don't have to LIKE the fact that resellers make easy money, but that IS all you're really saying; you're unhappy that he's making money off of an objective opportunity. Your main complain, even though you don't realize it, is that Porsche is creating limited supply items that in-turn give way to opportunity for experienced investors to make money.

They are happy that these Porsches appreciate in value since it makes their next limited run more attractive to investors. They are just upset that they don't get their free advertisement selling 15 to Doug, even though Doug will inevitably be giving those cars to even bigger car enthusiasts. They know that having an individual like him known for flipping would ruin their brand image.

Honestly the GT3 flip response by Porsche is what made me really fall in love with Porsche. They're to be driven.

Guys like this are why real enthusiasts can't get allocation on exotic cars. 15 GT3 RS allocations. Ridiculous !!!!

Exactly. People seem to think he's some kind of genius businessman (and I won't deny what he does is great FOR HIM!) yet don't seem to realise he's no better than a ticket tout. People pay over the sticker price as there are no cars available because people like him have monopolised the entire allocation!

I found this interview and Doug's way of flipping scooping new Porsche GT3s and Nissan GTRs and sell them for a profit quite amusing. Now, I've been trying to buy a PS5 for some time. Guess how I feel now.

I am aware that the demon is not of the same caliber as a Porsche. But I saw this happen with them as well, literally 1 week after the cars were delivered, people were selling them on the side. I looked online and found 7 for sale in a 500 mile radius of where I was. Same thing with the new Corvette ZR1.

Porsche needs to figure out a way to get these cars into the hands of people who will enjoy them. Ford at least is trying with the GT.

Porsche should just force everyone that wants a special edition to put 30k miles on 1 base 911 before being able to purchase 1 special edition. That will put this entire mess to a full stop.

I think what you did is called "double dealing". I draw a similarly to the 18 wheeler trucking practice. Essentially a broker sells a trucking load to another broker whom eventually sells to actual truck driver.

Interestingly enough, even after Porsche blacklisted me, I had numerous dealers contact me and practically beg for me to put down a $200k deposit so they could get a 918 allocation. At the time, nobody wanted them, and I thought they were overpriced and wouldn't hit (heck, the Carrera GT was almost saleproof in 2005 at $448k), especially being 3 times the price of a CGT when introduced. Needless to say, I missed the boat on that one.

When dude said he should get a Porsche dealer Doug should of been like I’d love to do that and brought in Ed for some shrewd negotiations. Who knows maybe he could of got Porsche corporate to underwrite him a dealership in return for not suing several dealerships for breach of contract. Maybe even convince them to throw in several gt3’s over the normal allocation since he moves them so well.
