Pradip Posted February 12, 2005 Report Share Posted February 12, 2005 Hi Guys I want a super luxury car, and have £25k to spend. I know Phateon prices have taken a dive recently - I would appreciate advice on the best model/year to go for. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted February 14, 2005 Report Share Posted February 14, 2005 V10 TDi if you can. Although I doubt it, as that is probably the only model to keep it's value. The 3.2 might feel underpowered in that huge body. The 4.2 will go well. The 2.5 TDi (like the 3.2) The W12..........best value 2nd hand if you can find one! Will cost the earth to run though. 2.5 & 3.2 might not have as many toys. Soooooooo, that means a V10 TDi (Diesel) or the 4.2 V8 petrol. Good luck. The bigger V Dub dealers will have stock. Had a quick look on Autotrader - The only one on that price range is the 3.2 V6. Not sure if they are all 4-motion's???? However, it does have 240 BHP, so should be OK!

ballachrishan Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 The best model and year would be a new '05 3.0TDi, it's going to be the most popular version in the UK and the one most likely to hold onto its money. Not the I am biased or anything but I collect mine next Wednesday. If you opt for used bear in mind the early 3.2 petrol cars were only 2 wheel drive and NOT 4Motion. To see what I think of Phaetons look at my reply to "looking for a badgeless grille". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
