W12 things too look for

[Adrian E]

I don't think the term sh*t heap was used, but seem to recall 'it's lived every one of it's 150k miles'

thats why I posted the link to the thread above, OK heres the summary

OK.. Ben's been to see the car and it's nothing like the advert. The seller is a trader that Ben's been to see cars at before.

Quick and not exhaustive list:

- Lambda errors, sensors and probably a new cat as there's scuffs underneath where it's hit a speed bump
- Couple of small oil leaks from the engine
- Coolant leaking
- Looks tatty (not like the pictures), and not been cleaned for a while
- Looks all of its 150k miles

So it's a no from me

ah i see Doohhh

Guess i will have to keep looking or just tell the guy that i have had a review of the car and offer 8k and see what he ses

[PsYcHe]

8k and you're not too bad off I reckon... if he accepts 8k, then I need to kick myself for not chancing it

[daviesbike]

can some one tell me the difference between the ages there is 2004 up to 2008 w12 is the any main difference between the 2004 and 2006 ?

apart from the facelift trim bits, I think they're mechanically the same.
