Product Details

2006 Volkswagen Phaeton, finished in black with a beige leather interior. Living up to its flagship status, this Phaeton is equipped with an adaptive air suspension system, Xenon headlights, wood interior trim, heated and power-adjustable front seats, plus a navigation system, among other features. The seller reports no modifications.According to the Carfax history report, the timing belt and the water pump were last replaced in at 65,502 miles in 2014. It also notes that new batteries were installed in 2020, and the seller adds that the engine oil was last changed in January 2020.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 period 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 3,000 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.
