There's an immaculate looking dark metallic blue AU1 XR6 in a car yard here in Perth. $6,000 on it.

Unfortunately don't know the k's it has travelled, but hopefully it gives you an idea. Personally though, I think that price sounds reasonable for a car yard.

Also, not really to do with the question you asked, but high k's aren't necessarily bad, so don't be put off a nice car with high k's. As long as it's been looked after and drives nicely it's hard to go wrong. Look at the AU taxi's - over 800,000 k's on average and still running about the place.

Id say up to 7-8k if it was HP engine in good nick. Probably pay more for a VCT, but Id rather the HP.
