A W12 is not an economical choice. Not referring to tax or fuel.
To be honest I sold mine because I had bad dreams about it wanting repairs one day I would not be able to pay for.
Not all of the engines are bad though. They just tend to have thermic issues. There's something which can be done to help that. There was a "Heißland" (hot country) feature which noone seems to use: it has two fans, a hydraulic one and an electric one and its possible to have them both running all the time. My W12 had it that way.
It had a good deal more than 300,000 km about three years ago. I know that from the one who bought it from me, I think he said 320,000 km.
It even has changed its owner once more and is still alive. It found it on the Internet somewhen this or last year (reckognized - i.a. - the rims and the LPG evaporator).
