Monday will be the day. Had to switch to full insurance coverage
Best luxury car for the $$$
- Thread starter ProfessionallyTrill
- Start date
This is easily the best advice in this entire thread. Buying a used German car with a ton of miles is just asking to be part of a never-ending nightmare. I have a friend who actually owns his own car-repair shop and bought a used Audi A8 a few years ago. He had it for about three months and sold it. When I asked him what happened to it, he told me he had to get something fixed - forgot what it was - and for something he normally charges $200 tops to fix, he had to take it to the dealership and they wanted $3,800. He said then he'd never buy another German car unless he was filthy rich.
Take that $7,000 and get a nice used Accord, Camry or 6. I've owned a few luxury cars and trust me, after awhile, they just become transportation from point A to B.
Appreciate all the advice. Smarter minds are prevailing.
Looking for a good Jap-mobile and should be driving off with something Monday.

That's what's up Breh 
I'm gonna do a few cosmetic changes (depo headlights, blacked tails, hid kit, maybe black grille). The tint on it is only 50%
but it will have to do until I have some savings under my belt

Good choice fam. I got a tl type s from that generation but my tranny went out on me. I'm debating on getting it fixed or maybe looking for a nice used lex gs. I really want a vw phaeton tho...
but Im not looking to sell an arm and an ass cheek if something breaks
seen a few used ones in the 7 to 8 grand range. Basically a Bentley with a VW badge and they are rare. maybe on day

Helllll No.
$80k 12 cylinder VW worth $7k in less then 10 years.... There's a reason they're very rare.
This was a major flop, good luck taking this to your local VW dealer let alone your local mech to get fixed...
Talmbout "it's a W12 turbo, 12 cylinders breh same as in the Bentley GT"
Take your $7k VW to get fixed at the Bentley/Lamborghini dealership & they give you the
thinking you just lowered their property value by pulling up in an old Passat

Reading is fundamental I swear it is. You must completely glossed over the part when I said "Im not looking to sell an arm and an ass cheek if something breaks"
and you act them joints didn't have a v8 option as well. I made no mention of the W12. When I brought up the Bentley reference it was it was more a comparison of all the accoutrements of that boss status interior of the phaeton, its a big ass ultra luxury cruiser not a grand tourer like the bently gt.You are right about the service part tho, I hear vw dealerships had to have specially trained technicians and equipment to service them which many don't have anymore.
It flopped because it was an ultra luxury whip without a prestigious badge on it but that doesn't change the fact that the phaeton is a whole lotta car for 7 grand. Its just a nightmare I wouldn't want to maintain without my cheddar being up.
