How much should you pay for repair on a phaeton that isnt running before you bowout

No one here can answer that question! It's impossible to know -- what are your intentions? Who has looked at the vehicle? What's going on with it? It's impossible to really know without the facts...and even if I had them, the answer would be for me, not for you. You'll have to make that decision. Good luck.

$500 is a steal if everything worked and looked good. Did you get it fixed? If so, how much did it cost you? How many miles were on it?
