Considering buying my first ever V12.

Aside from the massive running costs and the immediate $10K depreciation, what else do I have to look forward to?

I have heard the performance is so so, to what most people would expect compared to the V8 version

More of a cruiser than a thrilling V12, obviously.

Having said I have never driven one so clearly don't have much say on this.

Though, they are one of my favorite cars of that era, If your good for the money, buy it sir!

Not entirely convinced it's worth $20k $16-17 maybe don't know for sure as I havent looked for 00 plus E38's, best to drive one in your home town first and see if you like and get Jeff Gray in palmy to do an inspection.

ANZA are good honest guys to deal with. They have the BEST motorcycle shop i have been to, so no doubt there cars will be fantastic.

[1rotty 40]

Excellent cars if you find a good one.

Shop around-$20k is way too much imo.

[lidistick 70]

Agreed. Not entirely convinced its $20K.

May just have to make a road trip to convince myself

Theres also this one

750

$20k for the one your looking at is too much 13 would be the tops I'd go

Ive owned both.

Whilst the v8 is a truely great engine, it isnt a patch on the v12! Power, torque, everything is amazing and I wouldnt hesitate to own another one. Its not much quicker than the v8 but the noise once you get above 4k in revs is truely superb.

Do your home work first though, fixing can be expensive if you buy a dud. But get one thats been well looked after and you will have a gem.

"The fuel consumption isnt bad at allgives between 7-8 kms per litre and is absolutely brilliant on the highwayhas all the specs of a seven series and more"

I dont believe that in the slightest, haha.

From the auction Jordy linked.

What were these worth new? I would be crying if I brought one new and saw that it was only worth even 20k nowdays
