I love the V12 but if anything goes wrong with it ,it is very costly, i have seen coil packs go, suspension, door latches, window regulator, but when they are working they are beautiful to drive , i take care of a couple for my customers and they love it , if you like it buy it but just have your mechanic check it out properly .

They are nice cars... if taken care of they will treat you good. You need to keep up with the maintenance but maintenance on that will cost you...

Before you buy it check out prices of brakes, rotors, pads, oil changes, spark plugs (2 per cylinder = 24 spark plugs) all with labour and insurance. If you can afford that then that will help you decide.
