I want a VW Phaeton.

Yes I do. I want one badly. Black, slightly lowered with upgraded OEM or Bentley rims and that's it, just like the photo. $10-12k will buy you an almost mint and loaded W12 and $5-6k will get you a pretty good 8 cyl. It won't be a daily driver but rather a weekend/leisure cruiser, like my Boxster but with a different purpose.

Is it crazy? Most owners seem to talk rather well about these cars. Maintenance is high but not like most older Euro luxury cars - there doesn't seem to be any horror stories about blown engines, exploding hydraulics, electrical fires, etc. Any input?
