High Bid: $ 6,500

Incredibly, it’s still possible to find a Phaeton with less than 100k miles. Just 3000 V-8s were imported; probably only 1500 are still in active use in the U.S. With key components being more Bentley than VW, this iconic car is one for the ages; it’s appreciating annually. This AWD beauty has been scrupulously maintained by the same obsessive car-guy owner for the last 9 years. It comes with all records/receipts from those years including the big Timing Belt service at 80k miles. Though titled in Washington, this robust, rust-free car has never left California except for high speed touring in the Southwest, enjoyed in abject luxury. It’s in especially good condition mechanically and aesthetically; always garaged. A richly satisfying car. Why is it being sold? The owner has purchased a rare ‘barn find’ Phaeton with even lower mileage
