Hello dear forum, I signed up here because for some time now only this one is going through my head, the Volkswagen Phaeton. I have so far driven with a VW Passat 3b, 1.6er, BJ 1999, petroler, manual transmission and am all very well satisfied. That means for me, (that’s for sure) I will definitely get a VW again. Now probably all upper classes owners will mock me but I am of the opinion that the Phaeton is the best upper class . It doesn’t look like a troll and is still a status symbol. This simple exterior design and then this simple luxury in the interior, a dream. Now I have unfortunately not heard much good about the electrics and the processing… that’s why to my question: Is a VW Phaeton worth it ? If so which year of construction is the best ? Which engine, how much hp and what fuel (I don’t care for performance) ? Does the car often have to go to the workshop ? Are 15,000-20.000 € realistic for a well-preserved car of this class? And quite rough monthly cost estimate, is finished in one year with the training (public service). I hope I wrote it in the right forum and do not disturb anyone here.
