Default W12 or not?

New to this forum so pls bear with me. Found an 05 W12 with Adaptive cruise control with about 100 miles for $105k. A dealer car.Thats $20k off list.Dealer will offer full warranty commecing from date of purchase.

You think this is a good deal? I am still worried re depreciation.

Default If you worry about depreciation then it's not a good deal. But

if you focus more on how fun, entertaining, safe, and comfortable luxury vehicle this is going to be for you, you won't regret it.

Default Never buy a flag ship car expecting it to hold its value.....

It goes around to all makes. BMW 750iL etc, these devalue fast. You have to realize part of the reason is the level of complication these cars often have make the cost of ownersip in the secondary market quite prohibitive.

Default The Lexus LS Series and old Acura Legend are exceptions....

to flagships not holding their value. In fact, the Lexus LS Series and Acura Legend have extrordinary resale values.

Default I might rather have a new S8 for maybe a few bucks less, and a lot of

neat stuff on it.
