First, if you don’t know allot about the Phaeton here is a link to a thorough review:

www.acarplace.com/reviews/2005/phaeton.html

THIS IS A EXTREMELY RARE, SUPER LOW MILEAGE 2004 aubergine nocturne Volkswagen Phaeton.  I am the proud third owner of this beautiful VW vehicle.  The Phaeton just passed PA emissions and inspection last week.  I planed on trading the Phaeton in on our the new vehicle for our family, but I feel based on the service history, extraordinary low mileage, great condition, color combo rarity, and care put into this vehicle the dealerships offer of $10k trade was quite low and I could do better selling it outright. 

How rare you ask?  Well, there is only ONE, YES ONE aubergine nocturne for sale in all of North America with lower miles (51,000).  TOTAL, there are only THREE Phaetons under 60,000 miles for sale in NA, with the lowest asking price at $19k.

It goes without saying that a vehicle with low of mileage rarely comes along.  Better yet, it will easily qualify for a extended warranty.  For instance, when we bought the car a couple years ago we purchased a extended warranty for just over a grand, and it was good for 5 years, or 100 ODO.  This existing warrenty we have may be transferable to the new owner, but we will have to check on that and can't guarantee it will.    

That being said, within the last 3,000 miles the following items have been serviced by our local Audi/VW dealers certified Phaeton technician:

  1. Factory wheels have been chromed.  Yes, these are OEM Phaeton wheels that are load support bearing for the extensive weight of this vehicle.  This is the only Phaeton I have ever seen with chrome wheels and it really completes the high end look.
  2. Transmission mechatronics unit was replaced
  3. All transmission fluids flushed
  4. Two rear window regulators replaced
  5. Rear factory door speaker replaced
  6. Oil & air filter changed on schedule
  7. Billet aluminum oil cap (A MUST for changing oil since the factory plastic one can strip!!!)
  8. New brake pads front and rear
  9. New spark plugs
  10. 4 New all Season Michelin Tires
  11. New wiper blades
  12. New HID headlamp Bulbs
  13. Both batteries in the rear replaced with heavy duty AGM batteries
  14. LLumar (very light) window film
  15. All season VW factory Phaeton front floor mats (very hard to find)
  16. All season rear long wheel base floor mats (very hard to find as well)
  17. 70% window film all around
  18. Refrigerator Cool Box upgrade in rear center arm rest (REALLY NEAT FEATURE)!
  19. All CD-roms for the navigation are available, including the compatible 2013 BMW update CD-roms.
  20. Finally, the car has adjustable billet aluminum lowering links from the UK.  The factory arms have been kept as well for the new owner.  Lowers the car 2”-3” for a nice clean look.

To the very best of my knowledge, all electronic features work on this vehicle (i.e. interior lights, buttons, mirrors, etc.).  In addition, there is practically no wear on any surfaces, and even the driver seat looks great (i.e. the love handle rubbing from getting in/out is about 95% non existent).  In full disclosure, the only item that requires attention is the windshield washer squirter since it is not pushing out enough fluid (i.e. loss of pressure in the line somewhere, but the motor sounds strong).  Perhaps the nozzle need replaced or lines checked?  Should be a simple fix for someone handy so I will not attend to it before selling at such a low price due to the hassle.  Otherwise, all she needs is a good home and caring new owner. 

Good luck and happy bidding!  Feel free to contact me for a phone number to discuss through ebay too.  I AM NOT DEALER, and tire kickers not appreciated. NO TRADES, again, only selling to do a little better than the dealer trade in offer and get quick cash.  Clear title, but note…the lein has been paid off as of 1-10-14, but it may still show since the title is in process from our financial institution to us.  Please, do not let this become a concern, we will verify the lien is paid in full for interested parties.  All factory VW service receipts dating back to around 2007 included in sale as well. No pets, no smoking, no odors, garage kept.  Exceptionally clean throughout. THANK YOU!!!!

I reserve the right to end the auction early, so if interested, please make me a (reasonable) offer.

VW fix would have cost $335 per vehicle

Wed, Sep 30 2015

Since the Volkswagen diesel kerfuffle began, Bosch, the world's largest auto supplier, has been hooked up to a bullhorn trying to make sure everyone knows its side of the story. Bosch supplied VW with the engine management testing software, including delivery and metering modules, that VW then used to skirt emissions laws in the US. Bosch told VW in 2007 that it was illegal to use the software in cars it planned to sell yet VW did it anyway, according to reports coming out in German newspapers Bild am Sonntag and Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. That first warning came two years after VW started developing the small-displacement diesel, around the time that the two men pushing its development, then-brand chief Wolfgang Bernhard and engineer Rudolf Krebs, were telling their superiors that the engine needed AdBlue urea injection to pass US emissions. VW cost controllers wouldn't approve the AdBlue solution because it would add 300 euros ($335 US) to the cost of the vehicle. Bernhard and Krebs left the same year that Bosch advised VW about the software, two years before the engine went into production. That's when things get cloudy. A report in Automotive News says that when Martin Winterkorn took over in 2007 as head of the VW Group and brand, he asked Ulrich Hackenberg and Wolfgang Hatz to keep working on the engine, and "[the] engine then ended up in VW Group diesels" with that problematic software still intact. No one has yet pointed any fingers at this latter chain of command, but like a game of Clue, right now they're the professors in the library holding the candlesticks. Warnings didn't only come from the supplier: Frankfurter says VW's initial investigation has found that an engineer issued the same caution to the company in 2011. Neither Bosch nor VW would comment on the reports.

VW close to decision on selling Bugatti to Rimac

Sun, Feb 21 2021

FRANKFURT — Electric hypercar maker Rimac Automobili and Volkswagen's supercar brand Bugatti are a good technological fit, Porsche's CEO told German weekly Automobilwoche, fueling hopes that a deal between the two could happen soon. British automotive magazine Car last year reported that Volkswagen was on the verge of selling Bugatti to Rimac Automobili, citing sources. In exchange, Porsche, also owned by Volkswagen, would raise the 15.5% stake it owns in Rimac, founded by Croatian entrepreneur Mate Rimac, Car said. "At the moment there are intense deliberations on how Bugatti can be developed in the best possible way. Rimac could play a role here because the brands are a good technological fit," Porsche CEO Oliver Blume said. "There are various scenarios with different structures. I believe that the issue will be decided by the group in the first half of the year," said Blume, who also sits on the management board of parent Volkswagen. Rimac has developed an electric supercar platform, which he supplies to other carmakers, including Pininfarina. Blume also confirmed higher savings targets for Porsche, saying the carmaker plans to support results by 10 billion euros ($12.1 billion) of cost cuts by 2025, up from 6 billion previously.

Volkswagen says goodbye to Eos, Routan in 2015 updates

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

Usually automakers announce changes to their lineup individually on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis, but sometimes it all comes at once - especially when the changes are ones we either expected or might not otherwise notice. That's the path Volkswagen has gone with changes to its US lineup for 2015.
The biggest change is what we already knew: that the new Golf arrives for the 2015 model year, bringing with it the new GTI, Golf R, e-Golf and Golf SportWagen (to replace the previous Jetta wagon). But there are some new details as well.
For starters, Volkswagen has finally confirmed that both the Eos and the Routan - both long rumored to be on their way out - will be exiting this year. The Eos hardtop convertible, pictured above, will linger for one last year, its Sport trim replaced by a new Final Edition with 18-inch wheels, two-tone leather interior and enhanced equipment.
