Vehicle Detail
!!! ~ NO RESERVE ~ !!! Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 First, if you don’t know allot about the Phaeton here is a link to a thorough review: www.acarplace.com/reviews/2005/phaeton.html THIS IS A EXTREMELY RARE, SUPER LOW MILEAGE 2004 aubergine nocturne Volkswagen Phaeton. I am the proud third owner of this beautiful VW vehicle. The Phaeton just passed PA emissions and inspection last week. I planed on trading the Phaeton in on our the new vehicle for our family, but I feel based on the service history, extraordinary low mileage, great condition, color combo rarity, and care put into this vehicle the dealerships offer of $10k trade was quite low and I could do better selling it outright. How rare you ask? Well, there is only ONE, YES ONE aubergine nocturne for sale in all of North America with lower miles (51,000). TOTAL, there are only THREE Phaetons under 60,000 miles for sale in NA, with the lowest asking price at $19k. It goes without saying that a vehicle with low of mileage rarely comes along. Better yet, it will easily qualify for a extended warranty. For instance, when we bought the car a couple years ago we purchased a extended warranty for just over a grand, and it was good for 5 years, or 100 ODO. This existing warrenty we have may be transferable to the new owner, but we will have to check on that and can't guarantee it will. That being said, within the last 3,000 miles the following items have been serviced by our local Audi/VW dealers certified Phaeton technician: Factory wheels have been chromed. Yes, these are OEM Phaeton wheels that are load support bearing for the extensive weight of this vehicle. This is the only Phaeton I have ever seen with chrome wheels and it really completes the high end look.Transmission mechatronics unit was replacedAll transmission fluids flushedTwo rear window regulators replacedRear factory door speaker replacedOil & air filter changed on scheduleBillet aluminum oil cap (A MUST for changing oil since the factory plastic one can strip!!!)New brake pads front and rearNew spark plugs4 New all Season Michelin TiresNew wiper bladesNew HID headlamp BulbsBoth batteries in the rear replaced with heavy duty AGM batteriesLLumar (very light) window filmAll season VW factory Phaeton front floor mats (very hard to find)All season rear long wheel base floor mats (very hard to find as well)70% window film all aroundRefrigerator Cool Box upgrade in rear center arm rest (REALLY NEAT FEATURE)!All CD-roms for the navigation are available, including the compatible 2013 BMW update CD-roms.New fuel filter Finally, the car has adjustable billet aluminum lowering links from the UK. The factory arms have been kept as well for the new owner. Lowers the car 2”-3” for a nice clean look.To the very best of my knowledge, all electronic features work on this vehicle (i.e. interior lights, buttons, mirrors, etc.). In addition, there is practically no wear on any surfaces, and even the driver seat looks great (i.e. the love handle rubbing from getting in/out is about 95% non existent). In full disclosure, the only item that requires attention is the windshield washer squirter since it is not pushing out enough fluid (i.e. loss of pressure in the line somewhere, but the motor sounds strong). Perhaps the nozzle need replaced or lines checked? Should be a simple fix for someone handy so I will not attend to it before selling at such a low price due to the hassle. Otherwise, all she needs is a good home and caring new owner. Good luck and happy bidding! Feel free to contact me for a phone number to discuss through ebay too. I AM NOT DEALER, and tire kickers not appreciated. NO TRADES, again, only selling to do a little better than the dealer trade in offer and get quick cash. Clear title, but note…the lein has been paid off as of 1-10-14, but it may still show since the title is in process from our financial institution to us. Please, do not let this become a concern, we will verify the lien is paid in full for interested parties. All factory VW service receipts dating back to around 2007 included in sale as well. No pets, no smoking, no odors, garage kept. Exceptionally clean throughout. THANK YOU!!!! I reserve the right to end the auction early, so if interested, please make me a (reasonable) offer. On Jan-13-14 at 06:15:10 PST, seller added the following information: EXTREMELY IMPORTANT. I CHECKED TODAY WITH OUR WARRENTY COMPANY AND THE EXISTING 5 YEAR, 100,000 MILE WARRENTY IS TRANSFERABLE TO THE NEW OWNER!!!! BELOW IS THERE TRANSFER PROCEDURE, SO THE WINDSHIELD WIPER SQUIRTED MATTER ABOUT SHOULD BE CORRECTABLE UNDERWARRENTY. THANK YOU!!! TRANSFER PROCEDURE This agreement is transferable to subsequent vehicle owners provided the request is made in writing, including proof of transfer, a notarized statement of the odometer reading at time of transfer and the new owner’s name, address, and telephone number, to the Administrator within ten (10) days of change of ownership and payment of a $50 transfer fee. Also - The dealerhip also recently replaced the air recirculation flap positioning motor under warrenty. On Jan-13-14 at 06:37:59 PST, seller added the following information: For those interested in sending me direct offers….FWIW….Due to extremely limited supply/demand even if one can locate another Phaeton well under 100k on the ODO a full coverage extended warranty (if one can be even obtained for that matter) will cost in the neighborhood of $4000. PLEASE take this into consideration if you are seeking one of these rare vehicles because buying one w/o an all-inclusive warranty is not advisable IMHO, and if you get near or above 100k on the ODO no carrier will provide bumper to bumper coverage. Thank you!!! On Jan-13-14 at 07:01:04 PST, seller added the following information: Folks…I sincerely appreciate all the interest and offers offline! PLEASE…do a bit of research if making one though first. I kindly suggest interested parties go to Autotrader (Largest auto site online), search using VERY SIMPLE criteria 60,000 on the ODO. LOWEST asking price regardless of interior/exterior options (I know, not selling price), is $19,000, AND THERE AGAIN ARE ONLY 3 FOR SALE TOTAL! Again, I am very willing to entertain offers to close the auction early, but they must be realistic! If one is not presented then please take your chances bidding and perhaps you will get very lucky, but I will not entertain ending the auction early for offers near the current wholesale price. Thank you, Thank you, Thanks a bunch!!!On Jan-16-14 at 05:03:18 PST, seller added the following information: Car comes with all 3 key fobs. Correction, I already sold the BMW updated nav cd’s, sorry. Was looking for them last night and realized they sold already. A set can be picked up for around $50 on ebay though, so not a big deal. On Jan-16-14 at 09:05:17 PST, seller added the following information: For those of you who asked, the VW service records date back to 25,000 miles on the ODO. Thank you. ALSO – i HAVE NOW RECEIVED A HANDFUL OF WHAT APPEAR TO BE SERIOUS OFFERS OFFLINE. PLEASE, I CANT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, IF YOU ARE A VERY SERSIOUS PARTY I AM WILLING TO SELL OUTRIGHT, BUT YOU NEED TO CONTACT ME AND FOLLOW THROUGH WITH A MUTUALLY AGREED TO PRICE BEFORE EOB FRIDAY. I WILL NOT, REPEAT WILL NOT ENTERTAIN LAST MINUTE OFFERS (I.E. WITHIN 12 HOURS OF AUCTION CLOSE) OUTSIDE EBAY SINCE THIS MAY AFFECT MY 100% FEEDBACK AND I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO CLOSE THE AUCTION EARLY DUE TO EBAY. THAT WOULD IN ADDITION NOT BE FAIR TO THE 60 SOME FOLKS WHO HAVE EITHER EMAILED OR CALLED. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING AND GOOD LUCK FOR THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO TAKE THEIR CHANCES BIDDING VERSUS BUYING THE VEHCILE OUTRIGHT. On Jan-17-14 at 04:53:31 PST, seller added the following information: For those who asked. The extended warrenty began on 11/27/2012. The balance is either 39,XXX or a little under 4 years remaining, whichever comes first. Again, its entirely transferable. There is a $50 doc prep fee and the transfer, which is the new owners sole responsability, must take place within 10 days of assuming ownership, via a notary public. All they need to show is the mileage and a signed bill of sale, which I will provide. Hope this answers everyone's questions! If not, let me know. Thank you!
