2006 Volkswagen Phaeton W12 Sedan 4-Door Description

This vehicle the best heating and air-conditioning system ever. It doesn’t just blow air in your face; it changes the interior temperature of the vehicle. The sound system will equal most expensive home systems. The sound deadening glass provides a road noise free cocoon where normal conversation can be maintained while the Phaeton travels the road at 80 plus MPH. The V-12 engine provides smooth quiet acceleration power that can be felt well through 90 MPH. The seats adjust to an infinite number of settings. Lumbar massage system front and rear Heated and ventilated seats, front and rear. There is room in the rear seats to stretch out, even with the front seats fully to the rear. All four doors are soft close and to get into an auto without it seems primitive. This is truly a luxury automobile.

The VW Phaeton was shipped from Germany to the U.S. and Canada from 2004, 2005 and 2006. The quantities were always limited and in 2006, three hundred V12 models were shipped to North America. Mine was purchased in Canada.

In addition to normal maintenance, the following has been purchased in the last 10,000 miles.

  • ·Tires with a speed ratting of 160 MPH
  • ·Braked and Main Battery
  • ·Exhaust system and catalytic convertor system maintenance
  • ·Fuel filters and pump system maintenance
  • •50k miles service

·All equipment and systems are fully functional

The Phaeton was built in Dresden, Germany in the Volkswagen Glass factory along with the Bentley Continental and the Audi A-8L. They are built on the same work line (the machines are hand assembled) from the same parts except for the body. The Phaeton did not sell well in the United States, as Americans prefer the badge of a high priced auto. It was delivered here from 2004-2006.

The auto is in great shape for a daily driver or with minimum effort, a show car. The asking price is less than half that of a Bentley Continental and it is every bit as fine a car.
