Guys,
a car is not an accounting excersice it can be other things like a hobby and omeones pride and joy.
Markey has a very rare late prefacelift MV6 and i believe that he should go for it and get it done with only criteria being a superb quality respray. Cars are not all about their resale value.
Hummm difficult choice.... whats your current millage like Markie? I am guessing its fairly low.
Nice as the 4.0 Supercharged Jags are they are a lot more than the Omega...
Tbh your not going to get much with a facelift MV6.... just a change in the looks dept. I'd be tempted to keep running the MV6 as or go nuts and get a Monaro VXR .... if you do. I will be knocking on your door for a test drive 
Aaah Tunnie a man with similar thoughts to me 
Mileage is 79000 fsh and full cambelt change already done. Car is totally unblemished inside - i mean spotless!
Its never given a single problem and out with the rust on the edges of the doors and small chips on the bonnet is immaculate outside - not even one single mark on the alloys 
I am swaying towards getting the bodywork done and runnning it for another 18 months and instead off going facelift mv6 / beemer 5 series etc going for either M5 or ......Monaro
79k miles and belt has just been done? Blimey thats super low and good for another 40k.
I meant your millage as in your commute, see if your mpg was an issue (hence Monaro
)
Money wise, and common sense says keep MV6. With me i should keep the 2.2, its in good nick now I have been doing lots of work to it.
However I want to trade up to a V6 when i start earning again, common sense says I should keep the 2.2..... but this bloody forum made me want a V6!
I guess like me, your MV6 is the comon sense option.... but then again we don't do common sense do we!
Not been much help here have I !
Well to sum up, IMO don't get a overpricedBMW / Merc your paying for the badge... unless you go V8. (Maybe 540i) Or if you need to tow horses, 530d ?
Personally I will be staying with Omega's, you can't beat them for value, comfort and performance for the money. Until I can afford a Monaro VXR
