How does the 2004 Rolls-Royce Phantom compared to the $600K new one?

The 2020 Rolls-Royce Phantom starts at $452,750. This makes it one of the most expensive ( , if not the most), new cars you can buy in America. A Phantom from 2004 could be yours for as low as $70,000 to $80,000, depending on its condition and mileage. Which one is the smarter investment in this case? This video compares the eighth and seventh generation Phantoms. It should help you make a decision.

The clip shows the cars 16 years apart. However, if you look at the design, it’s hard to tell that the difference is so large. To get a better understanding of the differences between a 2020 BMW 7 Series Series and a 2004 7 Series, just think about how large they are. Although the older car here is slightly more minimalistic, it rides on custom 24-inch tires that add to its overall impressive appearance.

The Throttlehouse team takes a look inside both limos’ cabins. The interior of the 2004 Phantom is more traditional, particularly in the front where the steering wheel is thin. It’s more gangsta, according to the boys in this video.

Those suicide doors certainly add to this feeling. Rolls-Royce does not want you to refer to them as such.

“Suicide doors, right? Rolls-Royce refers to them as coach doors. They changed the name. Throttle House explains, “Yeah they didn’t want YouTubers taking them to a rainforest and filming them.”
