3 Phaetons

S, who bought my Phaeton, just picked up a W12. Now he has THREE!

@Lukas: Yeah, I was thinking about your 6.9s when I posted this.

That's insane... And this from the guy who has seriously considered owning 2 Phaetons at the same time.

I can live with the V8's for years. But the W12 will certainly put all the kid's of a VW or Bentley service person through college.

My question - who services these cars? and if independent, please make an intro for me.

Maxichamp said...

@Francisco: I think S does most of the servicing himself.

Wait...I'm just as fascinated by his house! Beautiful mid-century ranch style...do you know anything more about it?

@Ed Kim: the house is a Mid-century Modern built by Eichler which can be found all over NorCal & SoCal
@Francisco: maintaining those myself, haven't yet had any major issues that required the dealer (knock on wood!)

Francisco said...

@S - Nice! I need to find a new VAG-COM cable and an old laptop to run some codes on mine. If you have the VAG-COM let me know. Maybe our Phaetons can have a play date.

I'm scared of the W12 - was this the black one approx 65K miles that was 1st for sale at VW of Oakland earlier this year, and then at an independent dealer?

Ed Kim said...

Makes total sense...it looks like an Eichler! I work not far from two Eichler tracts. An Eichler and three Phaetons...now that's living! :)

@Francisco: I do have a VAG-COM cable, you can't own a Phaeton without one! My W12 is the silver one, 78k miles, bought with front end damage which will be fixed soon.

I keep thinking about w12 for next summer, the prices is very attractive.
