I will be putting the car on Ebay in the next few days, but if anyone on here wants to make me a sensible offer over £5k then the car can be yours, currently cheapest comparable Phaeton on Ebay in age & mileage is up for £6377 (very strange price!) & that's done 170,000 miles - mine has done a mere 138,000 (tho' still going up as will be getting plenty of use in next couple of weeks) it's on an '07 plate, so it has just about run in! I think I'm the 3rd owner, had the car for over 5 years. Don't forget, this is a Bentley under the skin & whilst I rarely agree with JC (that's Clarkson, not Jesus!) it was his Car of the Year some years back & it knocks spots off the Jags & a Rolls that I've had previously!

The car is absolutely fully loaded (was over £50k when new!!!)
, I believe the only extra which it hasn't got that you could have specified is
the tyre pressure monitor, it has all the usual bits you'd expect with any modern car + Sat nav, heated & air conditioned front seats, heated
steering wheel (yes really!), electric seats with memory & massage (!), electric rear window blind, electric sunroof, front fogs, radar cruise
control (the only thing on the car which doesn't work at present), 4 zone climate control, radio controls on steering wheel, 19" alloys,
about a million airbags - if you're ever unfortunate enough to have an accident it will be a bit like being in a bouncy castle! & loads,
loads more, like nice touches with lighting to footwells, door recesses & under the mirrors (nice when you unlock the car in the dark). It has the
VW 4 motion 4 wheel drive system & the 3.0 litre turbo diesel engine. Why is it cheap - well apart from some kerbing on the alloys, which any competent DIYer could easily sort, at a glance the car is immaculate & drives absolutely perfectly, Mot'd until July 2015 - however, there are some small rust areas on each of the doors, nothing much bigger than a 50p piece &, as I say, only on the doors, so never going to be a MoT/structural issue, but nevertheless disappointing for a car of this quality & the radar cruise doesn't work, it comes up with a message saying "sensor dirty" which it isn't, so may need a sensor replaced, I've never done anything about it as I actually found the radar cruise slightly intrusive & over controlling. However, looking at other prices I'm giving you around £1500 to deal with any such issues & the rust marks, which I feel is more than fair - I would much rather see the car sold to someone on here to get good use from it than entertain a bunch of tyre kickers from Ebay!
I'm still uploading pics to show the kerbing & rust etc. but in the meantime you'll find more in my archive & Here on Photobucket
Car is currently in Benfleet, Essex, will be in South Hants (New Milton) later today & tomorrow, & will be up in the Midlands (Bromsgrove, Worcs) next week if that helps with anyone wanting to view the car, could obviously try & arrange a meet up anywhere in between if possible just call me, Russ, on 07914 258651
It will happily record around 33 - 35mpg at something over legal motorway cruising speeds & my insurance (as an old git with no points) is just £260 with LV. Pretty sure these cars will shortly become a classic, so every chance of its value increasing over the years - I think had VW not made the Phaeton they would probably never have made the Veyron!
