From Car Buzz:
Only 2,253 people purchased a Phaeton in the United States. The car was available with a 4.2-liter V8 with 335 horsepower or an optional 6.0-liter W12 engine with 420 horsepower.
The Phaeton had a base price of $83,000 when new, but now both V8 and W12 models can be purchased for a fraction of that. Since Phaetons were very rare, there aren't that many used models for sale. However, you can find a good V8 model for less than $15,000. You can even find a W12 model for under $20,000. For less than the price of a nicely equipped Jetta, you can have Volkswagen's ultimate masterpiece. The Phaeton was even better than the Audi A8 and Bentley Continental, which it shared a platform and engines with. How so?
Is The VW Phaeton The Best Car In The World, Or The Dumbest Waste Of Money EVER?
