2004 Volkswagen - Phaeton

Product Details

2004 Volkswagen Phaeton, finished in blue with a blue leather interior. Highly equipped from the factory, this Phaeton features 18-inch wheels, an adjustable air suspension, heated front and rear seats, footrests for the rear passengers, 4-zone automatic climate control, and a navigation system, among other equipment.The seller states an Audi dealer has worked on this Phaeton since it was new, though records are not available. He adds that the list of parts replaced in the last 16,000 miles includes the timing belt, the valve cover gasket, the front suspension's air bags and lines, and the front window regulators.Launched in America as a 2004 model, the Phaeton embodied the upmarket shift masterminded by former Volkswagen Group chairman Ferdinand Piëch. It was built on the same basic platform as the Bentley Continental Flying Spur, and it was unabashedly positioned as the flagship of the Volkswagen brand. Although it was an excellent sedan by most accounts, it failed to excite consumers in the United States and sales ended after the 2006 model year. Most sources peg American sales in the vicinity of 3,300 units.Power for this Phaeton comes from a 4.2-liter V8, which produces 335 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque. It spins the 4 wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission.
