I disconnect the tire pressure sensors and the fm radio not working. Its a big job to change the antenna so I have to live with that. I have repair all common things by my self and with help of my friend Bad Santa.

Great and plush car

Used it for a couple weeks when our Touareg was in the mechanic, they lent this car to us, it was great, big, fast and plush.

Its a W12

I regret not seeing the Phaeton production line in Dresden - when I was visiting Lange. Now that VW Phaeton production has stopped, I wonder what the factory is actually producing. Supposedly, it's producing the VW ID3 now.

Correct...

... site is 'developing' into the so called 'Home of ID. ' Cheers, Alex

Ahh! Good to know!

If I lived in Europe. I wonder what I would drive... Hmmm... Probably some super economical diesel - oh, petrol prices here are approaching European prices. We're now paying $6.299 USD per 3.78 Liters (this is San Francisco pricing for "Premium" fuel from... 

That's why I drive an old Toyota Aygo.

As our fuel price approaches 1.9-2 €/l it's nice to drive a car that uses less than 5 litres to drive 100 Km

Oh my goodness! I feel faint!

That would be nice! Electricity is expensive in Europe too!

Also!

Beautiful machine. My Sindelfingen produced Mercedes says hallo!

The Tesla says hello too, but with a robotic/electronic accent.

Nice Volkswagen.

And loved it. Great party trick with the air vents being hidden behind the dashboard trim when not in use. Quality car…75% Bentley at the time.

Yes, thats cool👍

I drive a blue 2004 W12 6.0 liter Phaeton. It really is a wonderful car and the power under the hood is, as you can imagine, immense.

Great interior finishing as well. Lovely wood accents, quality leathers. I live in the Netherlands and I believe less than 300 of these beasts were sold throughout its lifetime in our country so they are a very rate sight on our roads here. But yesterday,... 

The car looks amazing and like new

You have kept it in really good condition. In my opinion that is just the idea behind the hobby/summer car.

Excellent condition

Hard to believe that this car is twenty years old - you have maintained it so well 👍

A rare bird

I still like the conservative, yet elegant styling and the interior was always a blast - very well done. Enjoy it!
