Interesting local find,
#21
Is the leaper snapped off or did this model come without one?
Any service records?
Is the leather as nice as it looks in the pictures?
Thanks for sharing KC. I was half-hoping you would say it was in bad shape so I could ignore it without feeling like I'm missing something. Are you considering buying it KC?

My buying interest is around 50% it may increase or drop as I run the VIN & discover more. I've just always been intrigued by the 12 cylinder in my favorite car chassis combo lol.

Decoder only says that it is a 96 so far , 6.0 liter HE . What kind of refinements as April 17 1997 was the last year of V - 12 production ?

The 6.0L is about the best one you can get, with most, if not all of the V12 problems ironed out.
It is not super strong, but should be more than enough, and it should be silky smooth.
It might very well be an imported car, hence the lack of a leaper.
And, like KC, I think this is the ultimate combination of the elegance of the x300 design, with the beauty of a big V12 ... If only it was closer ....

Carfaxing now, but my associate has a deeper scan for VINs he use with his auction app. I'll get that ASAP as well.
Edit :
CarFax via Google Drive
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_95...L_71roAu7/view
I have to be back in that area 2x in as many weeks so I'll delve deeper. IE take a mirror for undercarriage,scan codes etc. along w/ $4,000 in cash to see if I can rattle "Mr. Congeniality" & if the spirit moves me to do so lol. Disclaimer : The "spirit" I'm referring to is in the bottle, not the sky lol.

Well we discovered some leaks when we had it in the air. Nothing major as I've read a "weeping" rear differential is common & also a small oil leak my associate deemed as a failing gasket. No rust & the front end needs some maintenance IE tie rods & ball joints. I offered the guy $4000 cash, apparently he's a broker & has to run it by the car's actual owner. So we shall see.

Still no rebuttal to my offer as of yet. Not going higher than $4,000 as I recently hit my annual "Toy Contingency" budget very heavily with my X308's paint & transmission rebuild. I've got it to 90+% of where I want it IE better than ever/upgraded. I have my "to do list" down to trivial things like upgrading interior lights to LEDs & such.
I know that if I were to get this, I would be starting over on another "upgrade" project lol. I will still bite if he responds to 4K but I will not pursue further.

I see the CL posting has expired. Any updates on your offer? I'm living vicariously through your possible purchase!
