Thoughts on purchasing 2003 s600
I ran across a 2003 s600 lately to replace my 2000 s500 that i currently have. I want a s600 because they are such rare cars and the power is ridiculously fun. I found one for 11,995 with 120,000 miles. Good deal or not since its from a dealer the carfax looked pretty good. Reason i am asking if i should buy it is because I've been reading up on it on the forums about how the v12s are a headache. Are the 03s better v12s i know they updated it with turbos and more power. What would you do get it or stay away? Any input would be great

I have a 05 s600, I absolutely love it! Even though my high pressure line on my ABC just ruptured causing the "Drive carefully ABC" but I will be replacing it with springs so I will never have to worry about it ever again.
I replaced the CPS on it when it went bad, it caused the car to misfire or shut off. Part was 55 dollars and I replaced it myself. Other than that, it's been good to me for the past 50k miles.

I want to pull the trigger and go buy it tomorrow heak its only 11k for a car with that much power and rarity. Ive been reading and it scares me some people say they hate it and have tons of problems others love them and have no problems. Guess its just a game of luck. Have you had any problems with the coils or is that just in the 01-02 version s600?
