2004 Volkswagen Phaeton V8 Sedan 4-door 4.2l on 2040-cars
Willowbrook, Illinois, United States
A truly finely engineered car that is a rare find. This car has a cult following and will not disappoint you: the old girl can really fly. It has been maintained very well so that even after 9 years it is difficult to find any difference in handling between this car and my brand new BMW 7 series (only feels less tight). I have to let it go since I have only a two car garage and it will be criminal to put this car outside given that there will be someone out there who will appreciate the engineering and care for it much better than me going forward.
The car has been dealer maintained throughout its life and included is a VAGCOM dongle and software that will allow you to access the cars 36+ computers from your laptop to see whats going on. This also elevates the ownership experience IMHO. For those of you who would like to know more about this car and the community around it please visit VWVortex.com and the Phaeton subgroup. Wikipedia also has a lot of good information especially the design principles and the fact that it is built on the Bentley Continental D1 platform. I also have a ton of technical documentation which I will give you on CD including the factory manual from Bentley publishers.I will throw in an oil & filter change before delivery. All fluids have been changed recently making this car silky smooth. New tires, new battery, new HID Xenons new TPMS batteries and an air conditioner recharge done this summer. Everything works as designed except the navigation which is now very dated (CD based maps) and I use an after market system that has real-time traffic input and lifetime map updates which I recommend as the better option. The stereo has an outstanding sound and its four zone climate control works well including four seat heating and cooling. it has an awesome internal lighting which glows at night which I have tried to capture in the pictures. The actual effect is much better than the pictures tell. The car is built like a tank. |

Italian investigators search Lambo headquarters in VW probe
Thu, Oct 15 2015Italian investigators searched Lamborghini headquarters on Oct. 15 to look for evidence of managers' involvement in Volkswagen's emissions cheating. VW's main office in Verona was also inspected, according to Reuters. Lamborghini is owned by Volkswagen, and Lambo in turn is listed as the owner of VW Group Italia. Authorities wanted to find out if employees were conscious that the vehicles were skirting emissions rules. "It is one thing if I sell water and pretend it's wine, but if I sell water believing it is wine it's different." Verona chief prosecutor Mario Giulio Schinaia said to Reuters. Italian newspaper Gazetta del Sud reported that several managers in Italy were under investigation for alleged fraud. Prosecutors in Germany have also been rigorously investigating VW, and they recently staged a similar raid on the company's headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany. The automaker reportedly turned over documents and other data relating to the software defeat device. Meanwhile, VW's internal investigation has turned up little wrongdoing, though a recent leak suggested otherwise, and at least 30 managers could have known about the defeat device. The automaker has disputed that figure. Volkswagen of America CEO Michael Horn testified before Congress that he believed only a few individuals were involved. The situation hasn't been easy on VW in the US, either. The Department of Justice has also been pursuing an investigation into the automaker. Plus, state attorneys general are filing lawsuits against the company for defrauding customers. VW has until Nov. 20 to explain a repair for the problem to the California Air Resources Board.
