I think the $135k for the V12V with 11k miles is a great price. I have been looking as well and have not found anything for less than $140k. Personally I would buy that over a non-S 2013 model.

cant drive them as out of state - dealers desparate to shift the 13 v8 - list was 145K selling for 105K a manual car which is what i am looking for - the V12 seems a bit dodgy he started at 148K and then dropped straight down to 135K without even negotiating!!
would prefer a V8S but hardly any around with a manual box -

Is it generally a bad thing to buy an ex-press car? I always thought it quite special to do so.

There is nothing wrong with them except they have a higher likelihood of being driven much harder than the average car and people often look at them as "storied" cars. How many of the miles are track miles for example? You'll never know. I personally wouldn't buy one because it makes it more difficult when I go to sell later.

It may not matter to you but many of the 2011 Carbon Edition V12 Vantages were specced without heated seats. When I was looking for mine I found this omission to be quite common.

Our 2010 RRSSC that we just sold was originally a "press" car. The lady that bought it seemed actually love the fact that it had been in a couple of magazines.

RossL, Good point about the track miles, a "press" designation is definitely something to consider with an exotic if it has been track tested. On the other hand, "press" may just mean it was used on an autoshow stand, and may even have had a lot more special attention in the build than a regular car. As long as I knew that the "press" designation was for the latter, I would think it good actually be a plus, even for an exotic.

To answer the question... yes, $135K for an 11 V12V is a very good price as long as the car checks out. The AM dealer can easily access via the DCS the vehicles history. I would never ever purchase a press car.
