No.
The last time I've seen one was few days ago at the Geneva Motor Show, I'm surprised they still produce it.

They're an enticing value on the used market, if you're willing to spend a vast amount on maintenance. This one is obviously ruined though.

Hell yeah. Screw the cosmetics at 6 Grand that is by far and away the cheapest way to 200 mph.

Yeah the only other Phaeton in the price range are the smaller engined cars. A set of stock wheels and I could live with the paint. It might even be vinyl.

On second thought I'm not doing 200 MPH in a CAT D car. Oh well The E60 M5 is by no means a bad plan B, not that I could afford a 200 MPH German battleship anytime soon.

I'm saving up and being really careful with money just to buy a 2007ish Fiesta so it's not something that's in my future either haha.

A massive Passat with maintenance bill of a Lamborghini (maybe not with the V6 Tdi...): no, thanks.
And the two-tone paint, 22 inches ugly wheels make my eyes bleeding (even knowing it has a W12 engine).

Hot, warm or for commuting?

It's a Category D write off, just not sure if it was the result of the paint job.

Warm, a Zetec S. Wanted something slightly quicker than the Panda but still affordable to run. Although I imagine I'll change my mind before I actually put the money down.

Or maybe just a minor scrape. Wouldn't take much to write off something like this.

I've seen this one before. Apparently it was a salvage car that had been badly swiped down the right side. Some guy fixed it up and then took things a bit too far. This monstrosity is the result.

That makes sense, it has been written off at some point.
