Hello little Phaeton community! Since I am now more active in the forum than I had suspected at the beginning, I thought I would introduce myself here. Initially I signed up here on the occasion, because I had bought a Phaeton and knew that I would encounter some problems there, which I could not solve without expert help. With the acquisition of one of these rolling masterpieces, I have fulfilled a long dream. I would like to thank you very much. The Phaeton is, in my opinion, the only vehicle from this segment, without this “poser factor”. Understatement and luxury pure, but still practical in everyday life. In fact, in 2011 I fell in love with the show “The Checker” in the car in shock. A childhood dream quasi. Briefly to my person: I am 23 and come from the vicinity of Landsberg in beautiful Bavaria. I am already very interested in technology and vehicle from a very young age, therefore my training as a aircraft mechanic and then as a computer scientist. My rolling companion is a Phaeton Edition 6, 3.0 TDI from the year 2008, which I bought in December 2020 with 129000 km for 850€ from 3rd hand. When buying the tailgate did not work, which was a good negotiation argument for me. The condition was largely very well maintained. I hope that the car still brings me a lot of fun and I learn a lot about the vehicle in the forum. n and can experience. Enough read, we see ourselves in the really interesting threads LG Thomas
