Oh yes! plenty about at silly prices as they drop like a stone, but are very good value, eg 2007 3.0 tdi 80k for under 8k, they are hard on front tyres but if you get one with 17's they are not to bad.Will let you know once I get one, it might be the bigest mistake of my life( apart from getting married again!) but I only intend to work full time for another couple of years.

3.0 diesel is quite a big engine, MPG won't be too good if I were you I'd go with a 2.0 TDI CR passat estate but the phaeton does have all the bells and whsitle's

its ironic i cant run a 55 plate Mondeo past 200,000 miles on a PH plate and a 2009 model would cost me £7-8000 but a £5000 2005 Phaeton on a "special events" licence is ok with my LA, and I wont have to have a stupid yellow door sign stuck on it, no mileage restrictions for either its first plate or age restrictions for its useage
