Thoughts? It's AWD and has plenty of room. I would most likely get the V8 (I believe it is the same engine as the Audi A8?). Maintenance is a little easier too. I read that the W12 has to be removed for virtually all repairs and it gets worse gas mileage. The cars were $70k+ new and can be had for $10-$12k with 90,000 = 100,000 miles. Since it is more of a chauffeur car most of them were babied. I know that maintenance costs will be high. But I am guessing still less than a comparable BMW, Audi, Merc.

What do you guys think? Great value or horrible decision?
