hi guys,

i note from parkers that the list price of brand new omegas (of the new shape) was between £16k and £32k.

any ideas on where in that scale would my 2.5 v6 cd have cost?

i assume middle of the road but interesting to know

Spec levels for facelift go like this, lowest - highest.

GLS - 2.0/ 2.2/ 2.2 DTi/ 2.5/ 2.6
Sport - 2.2
CD - 2.0/ 2.2/ 2.2 DTi/ 2.5/ 2.6
CDX - 2.0/ 2.2/ 2.2 DTi/ 2.5/ 2.6
MV6 - 2.6/ 3.2
Elite - 2.2 DTi/ 3.0/ 3.2

2.5 V6 CD cost when new was - £19,195 for the manual
£20,195 for the auto.

Nope, auto was only standard on the 3.2 Elite IIRC 

That's the base price though, if yours had other options fitted, it'll have been more than that 

I should say though, in Elites' auto was the same price as the manual, I think.

3.2 auto was only available to Joe Pubic, only Plod had the option of a manual 3.2
Other Elites, as did the Senator before it, came with a proper gearbox as standard, manual was a no cost option ...... I believe

I want an auto BMW next, always have one car I maily drive around in, and the BMW is manual, but auto next, this comes from driving a C-class and e-classes around all the time. I will always stick by manuals are much better, but I'm getting to that age now, where I want a comfy armchair and only need to move one leg.

Much better?  :-/ At what?  :-/ Maybe in a proper sports car. 
If you only want to move one leg ( I have a brake foot & a seperate throttle foot) then surely an auto is 'much better'

Always have and still do prefer a manual, they're quicker, it changes when I know best not when the car thinks it knows best. My left leg is redundant in an auto.
