I'm seriously going to look to upgrade from my 2.5 CDX facelift soon to either an MV6 or a Elite facelift but cant make my mind up which route to take and need some help.

My want list would be in silver if poss, saloon with Auto box and leather a must, engine size anything 2.5 upwards as insurance and fuel not an issue.

I need to sell mine to help finance this project first as i know i will have to spend to get the right car so if anyone would be interested in a very nice clean V6 CDX auto 97,000 FSH recently replaced cam sensor clear side indicators, Camblelt and tensioners replaced along with the waterpump aux belts and a full service 10 miles ago and soon to have 12 mths mot in May let me know.

I'm looking to change at the end of May so i'm in no rush as yet but just need some good advice...

Car will be at the Reading meet on 04/04 weekend

It depends on personal preference really.
I have a mv6, which is the sportier of the 2, recaros, stiffer suspension, etc.
The elite i am led to believe is the more sensible of the 2, ie, sat nav, leather but not recaro.

One a facelift the MV6 is technically a down grade as it does not have as many toys as the CDX.

I would go for Elite, you can always stiffen the suspension later

[AndyVXR300]

i'm quite drawn to the Elite to be honest....

I would, already got Bose and leccy seats, you can always upgrade a MV6 to Elite spec, all depends whats in the market and at what price

[Darth Loo-knee]

I personally have an MV6, which I have put quiet a few Elite bits onto...
I would say if you like the toys go for an Elite

[AndyVXR300]

OK Elite it is......

2.5 2.6 or 3.2 ? which is better

Sorry for questions, but if you dont ask you will not know

[TheBoy]

I think my MV6 is already at Elite level with exception of memory seats (not available with Sports leather)

[AndyVXR300]

Thanks for the PM's guys (cant believe the interest) but i will be only looking to sell at the end of May, i paid £800 for it in Febuary and has no expense spared on it to bring it upto my standard inc the recent service and cambelt etc.

It has a small blemish on the rear bumber but other then that it is very clean and tidy with no rust at all the whole car has also recently been buffed from top to bottom and shines like new, yes im fussy and like to look after my cars........ lol

[ngrainqey]

i think you'll have decided for yourself which your going to have but if you really must have toys then get the elite as it still shifts or go mv6 if you dont mind adding bits that you really want later.
imo go for 3.0 if you can afford to run it with ins and fuel costs

[miniator]

i had this choice, same year of cars, both manual, both with LSD's,  right down to the same colour.

i went for the elite, the toys over the MV6 are fantastic and the elite was lowered already. the mv6 was the newer 3.2 but it wasnt enough for me to choose it.

[AndyVXR300]

Cheers guy's i will now start my hunt for an Elite

[GG]

I looked at at both although the MV6 had great handling, the elite in my opinion was the better option as you get all the toys and luxurys and can upgrade the suspension etc at a latter date ( I am in this process now) The MV6 was really disappointing on the interior and options in my opinion. This is bearing in mind that it is a luxury executive car. I am sure others will argue the other way

I would describe the MV6 more as a sporting saloon than a luxury executive car to be honest......

I prefere the Carbon look dash and stiffer lowered Suspension on the MV6.

Also the wheels and interior.

Hence my Choice
