Is it? I saw one @ a local car dealer but I never owned one. The ride is in mint conditions 6.2 W12 for like 10k ... it seems to be unreal almost. Is that possible? or just is a car with no market. I am considering it
@@luthier78Maintence costs are very high, it's a very mechanically complex vehicle and drivetrain, which reflects the low resale value. But, it provides an amazing driving experience. It's worth understanding that these cars are now available to the average person. They were designed to be the best of the best out of VW Group, so they aren't cheap at all to repair and maintain, but give you a driving experience like no other.
Der Phaeton ist das beste Auto was ich bis jetzt gefahren bin. Es ist jeden Tag eine Freude einzusteigen und los zu fahren... Es ist eigentlich ein Bentley
@@monsterkillsports3499I wouldn't say rare.. they pop up here and there from time to time.. now my Kadett GSi cabrio Bertone.. thats something I havent seen a single time on the road since 2009 other than my own .. that's rare..
Ferdinand Piëch's technical tour de force, itself a commercial failure, but perhaps the most technically developed car of it's time. The basis for 90% of modern Bentleys and the engine basic architecture was re engineered for the Veyron. A piece of automotive history.
Beautiful car 👍👍👍 Was a very expensive car of its time, especially for a VW. Was one of the reason not many were sold. Add on the high price tag for maintenance and repairs, one needed a hearty bank account to fund them as most of the original owners had. As always, the work you guys do is top notch 👍✔️🙌 Be Safe and Be Blessed 🙏🙏
Thanks so much! Yeah, these were quite interesting for VW to embark upon, and learn a lot about brand identity and perceived value / luxury with a VW label on front rather than 4 rings or a big B Thanks for sharing and being a part of our community!
This vehicle has been well taken care of. Very surprised to see the interior looking so good even before the detailing. The wood veneers are prone to cracking, as a bunch of them in my '04 V10 Touareg have done. Love seeing a piece of obscure automobile history kept alive and shined up so well. I wish I didn't have to contend with Ontario road salt so I could see my own vehicles brought back to life this nicely.
The owner of this car must be a true fan. All other videos about Phaetons tell us to avoid them because as any other 10+ years old luxury cars they are money sinks.
I wanted to get one of these as they're probably the best value in the market until you realize 5 ECUs are controlling this thing and parts are impossible to find/need to be pulled off Bentley Flying Spurs. Future collectible though along with V10 Touaregs
That's permanent wear and cannot be cleaned. It's a soft touch paint coating which wears down over time. The only way to fix it is to repaint it or replace the switch.
