Have you ever wondered what would happen if Volkswagen decided to produce a pinnacle luxury car? Typically known for mass-market motoring, even the name Volks Wagen means people's car in German. Well, the brand had a luxury car foray in the early 2000s when it was under the stewardship of Dr. Ferdinand Piech. However, the Phaeton never really sold in numbers. For example, this 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton is one of approximately 1,400 from the 2004 model year sold in the United States. Up for sale with a reported 39,000 original miles, this car is a quirky and unconventional daily driver for those who dare to be different. And yes, it has a V8 under the hood.
Wearing a lovely suit of dark blue, this 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton clearly looks the business, with its silver seven-spoke alloy wheels and daytime running lights. The Volkswagen VW motif adorns the front grille, and the car includes chrome trim and inlays outside as well as inside. There's also a set of dual exhaust pipes at the rear, enabling some V8 soundtrack to emanate, but as you'd expect from a luxury car, it's suitably muted. When you open the door, the beige cabin is unmistakably Volkswagen, albeit with a very high specification. You've got power-adjustable front and rear seats, plus four-zone climate control. Furthermore, this car has what's known as a draft-less climate control system, where discrete vents puff air around the cabin rather than directly at occupants. However, you can still avail yourself of the regular air vents within the dashboard if desired. This, the classy analog clock in the center console, and the premium sound system are all luxury car hallmarks. Another one is the power tilt-and-slide sunroof that this car offers. Looking at the instrument cluster, you'll notice that it's suitably jazzed up for luxury duties and includes a 200mph speedometer. Then, you'll notice the impressive rear legroom that rivals many long-wheelbase luxury cars from Germany and elsewhere. Meanwhile, there's a roomy trunk for cargo, highlighting this car's capabilities as a long-distance cruiser for families.
This 2004 Volkswagen Phaeton is powered by a 4.2L V8 that can develop an impressive 330hp and 317lb-ft. Power is sent to all four wheels through an automatic gearbox, enabling a sub-7 second zero to sixty time. North American models are speed-limited to 130mph, but the true top speed exceeds 155mph.

The iconic Volkswagen Type 2 was the much-loved microbus of the Sixties and beyond. Sporting a happy persona, it was the perfect embodiment of a carefree lifestyle, filled with love and care. One of the most popular modifications for the Type 2 was the Westfalia Camper, which turned this versatile vehicle into a fully-fledged camper van. So, with one of these, you didn’t need to organize a hotel at the end of every day of your road trip, or fumble about with tent poles. Your Vanagon had it all aboard. Furthermore, it was a great alternative to a hulking and cumbersome motorhome. Just check out this 1985 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia Camper, and it will show you how less can actually be more.
The Volkswagen Type 2 microbus, camper, Westfalia, kombi, or simply bus, is an iconic passenger carrier. Made from 1979 right up until 2002, its friendly face and distinctive air-cooled engine note make it instantly recognizable. Widely considered as a Beetle for those with more people to carry, the Type 2 also makes for an excellent camper conversion. This 1988 Volkswagen Vanagon Camper is one such example. Built from a Volkswagen Westfalia GL variant, it’s living proof that you don’t need a massive, multi-axle behemoth to go camping across America’s beautiful landscape. Instead, you can take this compact vehicle and enjoy ample creature comforts. With a healthy 114,000 miles on the clock, it’s got plenty more to give.
It’s hard to find someone who doesn’t like the Volkswagen Beetle – even if they may not outwardly say, or show it. Volkswagen’s lovable little bug-shaped car has been produced in more or less the same form from 1938 to 2003. Envisioned to revolutionize mobility for the German public, the Beetle did that for countless other countries too. Its friendly purr is its aural handshake; the result of its simple and reliable air-cooled flat-four engine. Over 21 million Beetles were made, yet it’s harder than you’d expect to find one up for sale. That’s because most Beetle owners tend to hang on to the car, for obvious reasons. So if you’ve been after your very own Bug, here’s a 1972 Volkswagen Beetle with just 89,726 miles on it. Moreover, the car underwent restoration in 2020, which explains why it looks so fresh.
