There's always the A8L... not exactly a V12, but it's unique-ish. And no, I wouldn't do it either.

Sorry to hear it was a no-go but things usually work out for the best. I love my 2007 S600 now that it is sorted. Keep looking. A number of 2016 cars are coming off of lease if you can swing the higher price. You might even think about a broker. I used a broker to find my S600. I am sure he charged me for the service but I think I got a better car.

Mine was priced at $24 K in April of 2018 with 55 K miles plus the extended warranty and what I put in to sort it. I probably over-paid but at the time I wanted it. It had the optional in 2007 cognac/armagnac Designo interior upgrade (brown) but the embassy kept the fridge. I located one in Finland but he wanted $4k for it plus shipping!! I can stop at 7-11 a bunch of times for the cost of that fridge.

I am looking for an S65 (2010) now and if I get lucky, I will probably sell the 2007 S600; but I am not sure yet.
