Our Take:
  • Elusive Luxury: The 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton was VW's ambitious attempt to break into the luxury sedan market. Built on the same platform as the Bentley Continental GT, it's a car that combined German engineering with opulence—though it never quite captured the market's heart, probably due to its understated badge.
  • Technological Marvel: The Phaeton was packed with features that were cutting-edge for its time. With a V8 engine that originally competed with the likes of Audi and Mercedes, it offered everyone in the car the comfort of climate control and heated/ventilated seats—a real treat during those sweltering or chilly drives.
  • Rarity Now: You don't come across many Phaetons these days, especially in working condition. Having survived nearly two decades and with a decent mileage of 124,436, this model's longevity speaks to its solid build and quality, making it a curious find for any car enthusiast or collector.
  • Cultural Footnote: Interestingly, the Phaeton was a kind of experiment for VW that didn't quite fit the brand's image at the time. Like a high school rock band dabbling in opera, it felt out of place, yet this quirkiness adds to its charm today—offering a glimpse into VW's attempt at reshaping its identity.
