Is this new Volkswagen Phaeton a good replacement for my father's Mercedes-Benz S320?
My father is interested in changing his 2002 Mercedes-Benz S320 CDI (owned since new) to a pre-reg 2010 3.0-litre TDI Phaeton with 25 miles on the clock. It has £5000 of options and is priced at less than £30,000, and also can be offered with three years' servicing for £250. His annual mileage is around 8000. Is this a good buy?

Reads like a good buy, yes. Particularly as the Phaeton is actually the basis for the Bentley Continental.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.

Sharper styled than previous Phaeton. Available in standard and long wheelbase. 3.0 TDI offers good combination of performance and economy for such a big car.
