Who doesn't want to experience the roar of a v12 when they press their foot to the floor. So what is the cheapest v12 car you can find? Bonus question: What is the coolest v12 car you can find a craigslist?

Probably a Jag sedan, realistically.

Not the cheapest but is it an Aston Martin DB7 for under $25,000

The cheapest V12 you can find will be the most expensive V12 you could ever buy.

Definitely a Jaguar XJ-S .

Assuming you want something that still runs and drives, a 750iL is probably the way to go .

I was eying that up earlier. There's a nicer one for $6,500 in the same area.

It's really much bigger then it looks in pictures. A true mafia car.

I really like the looks, but there's better cars out there for the money. I'd rather have a newer V8 5 series for 6500.

It worries me when I see V8 BMWs for that little money. I know the 7er is cheap because it's old and there's really no market for them, but the 5ers scare me with maintenance issues.

You can get these anywhere from 7000 to 15000,

Four Chevy Sprints and some DIY linkage might be your most reliable option.

That's in all truthfulness why I'll never own a BMW. It's just not worth the headaches.

lOOOOOOOOOOOl!!!!1!! Little work needed to get it up and running!

If I was flush, I'd buy it just for those wheels. Quite rare (but not expensive), and I would love me some factory aero wheels! Also swapping a V12 into the e28 would be a thing.

The cheapest one is the one that doesn't run and will cost $15k to fix.

$750. Needs works, though.

Not too many cool V12's near me, but I kind of dig the 850.
