However, based just upon its age (20-years) alone I'd expect it has its fair share of deferred maintenance issues that will need to be addressed.

As mentioned previously (below in other comments), I'd be highly apprehensive about driving on a set of 'NOS PAX-system tires' as Goodwood abandoned them at the end of the 2006 model year. A friend of mine acquired a brand new 2004 Phantom...it had so many problems that he complained it spent more time at Euro Motorcars's shop than in his own garage, so he finally replaced it with a nearly identical 2006 car (same color even), but had a similiar experience so he finally downgraded to a S-Class in 2008. One of his chief complaints on both cars was the uneven wear patterns on the tires of both cars (both had the PAX system). Finding a replacement set of PAX tires is a tall order, and even then, by then they'd be well outside of their recommended service life. But, a used set of later model Phantom or Ghost wheels and tires might run about $8K (if you look hard enough). \r\n\r\nThat all said, the potential to have to plunk-out 5-figures upon delivery is fairly daunting.

They do not 'spoil'. I've personally seen 20 year-old tires that were still perfectly usable, and 9 month-old name-brand tires that were not. It's about the condition of the rubber (primarily dryness and/or dry-rot), and there are a whole host of variables that affect their usability. But simply enough, if there aren't any cracks nor dryness then the tires are fine.\n\nI'm impressed that the seller was able to get a set of tires installed, as almost every dealer and tire shop that had a Michelin PAX license has let it go. However, there are videos on YT showing how a very experienced tire tech can make a go of it with a conventional machine. Watching this is not pretty.\n\nAfter more than 20 years of wheel designs on the Phantom, I have to say that the PAX design looks very appropriate - more so than most Phantom VII wheel designs. And you can't beat having the original wheels on there for the sake of originality. So long as the rubber is supple then these wheels and tires are just fine. And if one does desire to change the wheels then there are usually decent factory sets on the 'other' auction website for $4k to $8 for wheels/tires/caps.\n\nThe stance of these early Phantoms is the most bold - as the grill is in it's most vertical position of all from the Phantom VII run, and the front end more square in the bumper. This is truest to the original design. And the round lights in-front look far better than the LED slits that came about in 2012.\n\n @JRMedved - explain your blanket judgment about 2004 through 2006 being 'more troublesome'. I'm in high-end repair facilities as well as Rolls-Royce dealers on a regular basis (for my work) and ALL years of Phantoms are always in there for one thing or another. Even Phantom VIII's have a myriad of problems. More than once I've seen Dropheads needing new transmissions with very low miles (18k and even 8k miles).\n\nLook - ANY Phantom that is out-of-warranty is not a purchase for the faint of heart. All suspension parts have to be replaced over time as well as any gasket or rubber item. Door latches (which contain the soft-close) are $1k wholesale just for the part. If you are looking for a more 'reliable' RR sedan then get a later Ghost. \nBut there is nothing like the unmitigated 'presence' - that is the Rolls-Royce Phantom. So accept the expense, or move along. \n\nI've owned a 2004 Rolls-Royce Phantom for 12 years, and also - I am in the wheel/tire business.", "likes": 15, "timestamp": 1716651868, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 14539657, "authorName": "OnlyBlackCars", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/onlyblackcars/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "I'll add that many problems are age-related.\r\nBased on the driving video which also shows no warning lights on the instrument panel, in the 20 years that this particular Phantom has been around, those concerns very likely were already addressed, and the only other would be if there are leaking fluids.", "likes": 2, "timestamp": 1716652722, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 14540546, "authorName": "akpcm (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/akpcm/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@DC311 much appreciated", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1716658459, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 14541515, "authorName": "ConTrac1", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/contrac1/", "bidAmount": 36000, "content": "$36,000 bid placed by ConTrac1", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1716662239, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 14543451, "authorName": "Hk888", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/hk888/", "bidAmount": 36250, "content": "$36,250 bid placed by Hk888", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1716670993, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 14545615, "authorName": "Tobyallen", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/tobyallen/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@OnlyBlackCars Well said regarding tires.

I'll call your attention to the closest that the NHTSA DOES have to say about tires: https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle-safety/tires\n\nI have already written that I have viewed with my own eyes 20 year-old tires that were still perfectly usable, and 9 month-old name-brand tires that were not. Where's your proof?\n\nNever sully a seller's auction with misinformation nor fear-mongering.\n\nAnd FYI to all - DOT \"date codes\" were only even instituted so that the Department of Transportation could identify different manufacturing lots of tire manufacturers in-case of a defect or a recall issue. THAT is the reason for those particular numbers, stamped on tires.\nExact verbiage from the NHTSA web-page regarding why they require 'date' codes:\n\"This information is for contacting consumers if a tire defect requires a recall.", "likes": 5, "timestamp": 1717158145, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 14588277, "authorName": "pauto1", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/pauto1/", "bidAmount": 50000, "content": "$50,000 bid placed by pauto1", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1717159816, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 14588398, "authorName": "MattysGarage", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/mattysgarage/", "bidAmount": 55000, "content": "$55,000 bid placed by MattysGarage", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1717161337, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 14588484, "authorName": "Stealthb6", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/stealthb6/", "bidAmount": 55500, "content": "$55,500 bid placed by Stealthb6", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1717162270, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 14588698, "authorName": "MattysGarage", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/mattysgarage/", "bidAmount": 57000, "content": "$57,000 bid placed by MattysGarage", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1717164458, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 14588949, "authorName": "Serialcollector", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/serialcollector/", "bidAmount": 65000, "content": "$65,000 bid placed by Serialcollector", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1717166937, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 14589138, "authorName": "JM6463", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/jm6463/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Onlyblackcars see NHTSA.gov>tires scroll down to tire aging and are you at risk . \r\nIt explains that you can not judge the condition of a tire just by looking at them with your \u201cown eyes \u201c .
