Really nice.
How does it ride?
I was considering that W12 until I saw the new A8L on the road.
This makes me consider the phaeton all over again 
Very clean, congrats.

The car is fabulous! Really, really smooth - I like to think of it as a vault. It's an EXTREMELY well built and solid car. I really wouldn't trade it for anything in the same category. I looked at all of the sedans (LS, S class, 7 series, A8 etc etc) and this is just something that you won't find next to you at a stoplight as often as you will with the others. In my area, I have seen about 10 others. The uniqueness was really a key factor for me.
There is tons of tech stuff on this car. If you want to investigte more, check out vwvortex.com and go to the Phaeton section - a VERY helpful place with any/everything you would want to know - plus more lol. Please let me know if I can help out with any further questions.

Yes, resale does suck, I won't mislead you on that. I actually love the fact that it has the VW badge on the front. It's silly to me why people do rationalize that way though - deciding to opt out because it's a VW. Actually, this car has alot of parts that come from the same bin as the Bentley Continental GT and Flying Spur.

God I love Phaetons! Congratulations on that beauty. Its a shame so many people are badge snobs, they are missing out on one hell of a luxury car.

I could never figure out how despite it's wonderful reviews this car never took off. I think they are gorgeous.
