Pretty similar, I think.
The CLS has a claimed kerb weigh of 1810 KG........well short of the 'Bunteresque' Phaeton which crushes the scales to the tune of some 2400 KG... :o :o
I believe that the kerb weight of a 2.6 MV6 auto is about 1450 KG........However, I could be wrong. :)

Around 1750kg for an MV6 auto, if memory serves, so not much in it.

.......and your Westfield tips the scales at about 450 KG?........ ;D ;D ;D I probably have that wrong,too. ;D

Yep. I've decided not to sell the old girl.
Omega prices will soon be on the up. :y

What a benevolent man you are, Steve. :y :y
That is more than twice what WBAC.com offered (£225 :'()

We have a small garden and a large garden. The cars are in the small garden. :)

The after market parking sensors on my MV6 are all but useless. :(
The first owner was a woman, so I presume she had them fitted to save on the 'little accidents' that the ladies seem so prone to. ;D
The Parktronic sensors on the Merc are far more sophisticated and work well........as they should for a £600 option.

One of very few standard fittings on mine. Just as well really because you haven't a clue where either end is ::)

When I was a boy in the 1960's mundane motors like the Austin 1100 and the Mk1/Mk2 Cortina were everywhere.
Check out what they are worth today.
They certainly were not good cars........in fact the Austin 1100 would dissolve away before your very eyes. ;D
Rarity value somehow makes even the most ordinary cars seem somehow desirable. The same applies to the Omega...the more exclusive they become, the more they will be worth. :y
-
Yep , Allegro prices are high and they were truly shite ;D

......an understatement if ever there was one. ;D
The All-aggro was a truly woeful car. :-\ :-\........and as for the evil handling Marina...... ;D ;D ;D

Does the Merc handle better than the Omega though :-\
-
Around 1750kg for an MV6 auto, if memory serves, so not much in it.
.......and your Westfield tips the scales at about 450 KG?........ ;D ;D ;D I probably have that wrong,too. ;D
In my dreams. Mine has creature comforts like a heater and padding on the seats, so around 650kg.. and 200 BHP. :-*

That should prove an accelerative combination. :y :y
What engine do you have?

No better or worse......just different. :y

It has Airmatic so is able to select wallow to comparatively firm suspension. I can feel every crisp packet when mine's in 'sport' mode.

Yup, good looking cars the CLS. Never been in one though, smooth as the Omega in terms of ride comfort?

About what Andy B......eanz says above. :y

Despite costing almost twice what a Monaro would cost when new, the CLS is no more expensive when purchased used.
Less in some cases.
As for German cars holding their value....... Pah !!! don't believe it, Mr Tunnie. ;)

That is a good point :y
It's on the list for potential replacements, but as a 320 CDi, as MrsT likes her Mercs. ::)
That said, that piece of shit Renault I had in Ireland, the first thing she said was, 'Wow, what a nice car' ::) :-X
I soon put her right ;D
-
Good to hear it can be comfy as well, despite the Omega's age, it's still one of the best cars for ride comfort i've been in. Better than a lot of newer cars, only thing that has beaten it so far is the Jag XJ :)
-
With options, my CLS was close to £70,000 when new.
I paid less than 10% of that. :y (£6750)
What's not to like. ;D
I reckon that a good 2006 Monaro would cost in the £7-£10,000 range.
If only every Vauxhall ( I mention no names ::) ::)) held it's value so well.
-
There's a few high mileage (70k) 06 options on auto trader. For similar money.
Might be an omega replacement option Opti. :y
It's just that shape, for me. Estate options are hugely expensive though, by the looks.
-
Vxr8 prices seam to have gone up. Or the higher miles ones have been sold. :(

Is this the same car that has been stood on your drive for the last couple of years, Andy?
If so, keep hold of it.
The Vauxhall Omega (especially in Elite form) is about to become 'sought after'........Just ask Robber Budden. :y

It is (though it's not been stood - I do try to keep it in use) but .............. I've just put an ad on a well know automotive trading website about an hour ago. There's not the room at Andy B towers as there is at Opti Towers ;D ;D ;D There are 4 cars here between the 2 of us. ::) ::)

Nearly Steve, but I'd take something between that & the price in my advert. ;)

I've put £600 on the advert, but am open to sensible offers. It's a black saloon, 'wooden' Irmscher steering wheel and you can see an R Class in one of the photo's ::)

I've just taken a butcher's.
Looks like a fine example and in good working order. :y
Is there cheaper way to hit 150 MPH, I wonder.
I doubt it. :y :y

Your fence could do with a coat of 10w40 though Andy! ::)
I reckon Opti's gardener was pissed when he trimmed the hedge, maybe he should use a spirit level next time! ;D

That fence is a pair of gates - of sorts - that the caravan lives behind. ;) You're right though. :y

I reckon you'll be Omegaless, and £600 the richer by the weekend, Andy.
Not many black Elite's about. :y
