elude, if you change your mind, my buddy who works at a calif lux dealer has a V12V one for sale. PM me if needed.
I need that V12V to be sold asap so I can stop thinking about upgrading mine.

V12 in TN
Elude:
There is a 2011 Carbon Black V12 located at USI Motors in Knoxville, TN
I have personally inspected her a couple of weeks ago and she is (at least in my humble opinion) darn near perfect.
Here is the link: http://www.usimotors.com/c1015
I was going to PM you but have not reached the appropriate number of posts to do so.
If you are interested, ask for Marilyn.
Good luck.

Thanks for all the support and leads guys. I guess it wouldn't hurt to test drive one (umm, maybe I'd be opening Pandora's Box if I did). Worst case scenario, I'd sleep much better tonight knowing if my V8VS ended up with a fellow member.

Update; so I checked my financing to see if this was even feasible and approvals went in place with a green light. Only caveat is I need to sell private to maximize my equity. Any takers
If I can't sell in the next 45-days (end of May), I'll take it as a sign to hold onto it. Link to my for sale thread: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...ml#post3826684

LOL, only if I can sell my V8VS. Dealer offered me a decent trade (no lose) but I'd like to maximize the value of my car. If no sale by the end of May, I'm keeping it

I am SO glad you are selling "Red" at $ 120K firm, because that puts it outside of my price reach and now I don't have to scramble to sell my 07! Two kids in college makes ya poor (er), ya know?
So here's an idea. Keep it another year or two and I want a crack at it when its like $ 105K or so. By then the V12's will be less, too. Take good care of my future Vantage S. lol.

The V12V does have the larger engine but also much greater exclusivity. This is part of its appeal. In addition, there is something special about a 12-cylinder car, especially now that they are likely to disappear in the not-too-distant future.
As for modding, it seems that most who heavily mod their cars do so because they are dissatisfied with it. Although the mods appease them for a while, they often end up selling soon thereafter. Before spending a ton on mods, I would think about upgrading to a car that provides what you want in stock form. At one point I considered supercharging my 4.3L V8V but ended up going with the V12V instead. So glad I went that route.

Don't worry Duane, in a year I'll still have the warranty, continue the maintenance up-to-date, and your car will still be in flawless condition.

LOL, honestly, this is probably the best idea. It will give me the chance to save more for the V12V and teach me the necessary patience. Don't worry Duane, in a year I'll still have the warranty, continue the maintenance up-to-date, and your car will still be in flawless condition.
