Desert Private Collection

From the owner & CEO

Why Dimitri puts the cars on video

A polished photograph can show design and finish, but a useful video adds sound, movement, scale, controls, operating behavior, and the small details a buyer may want to understand before traveling or arranging an inspection.

With more than 25 years in the automobile business and experience across thousands of vehicle transactions, owner and CEO Dimitri uses video to make the buying process more direct. The goal is not to replace an independent inspection. It is to give enthusiasts more context, encourage better questions, and make remote conversations more productive.

Future channel programming can include new arrivals, cold starts, driving impressions, restoration milestones, underbody cleaning, ownership stories, market discussions, and practical guidance for first-time collectors.

Are these videos connected to vehicles currently for sale?

Some videos may feature current inventory, while others document vehicles that have already sold or are retained for educational and historical interest. Always confirm availability on the vehicle listing or by calling the dealership.

Can I request a video of a specific car?

Yes. Contact us with the year, make, model, stock number, and the details you want to see. Availability and the type of media we can provide depend on the vehicle and request.

Does a video replace a pre-purchase inspection?

No. Video provides context but cannot reveal every mechanical, structural, cosmetic, or documentation issue. We encourage buyers to arrange an independent inspection when it is important to their decision.

Can I watch on YouTube instead of this page?

Yes. Visit the official channel’s Videos tab to browse directly on YouTube, leave comments, share videos, and subscribe.

What kinds of videos will be added?

The channel can feature new arrivals, detailed walkarounds, cold starts, driving videos, restoration progress, dry-ice cleaning, delivery preparation, collector education, vehicle histories, and conversations with owners and specialists.
