second hand, the fg is seriously good value, not that its not good value brand new, its just that if buying new, the fg is over 3years old now so some things aren't quite as 'up to the minute' as other makes and models just hitting the market.

Thanks very much for the warm welcome guys, we are planning to go to fowles auctions and finding an ex government car there as I reckon it would be well maintained (is this true?).
I've been doing some research and found a few fg XR6's under 80k near the $20-$22k mark. We went to a Ford Dealer at Brighton (VIC) yesterday and we saw a few for around $24k. I think we want to stick as close to 20 and under as we can.
I saw a very cheap XT thats only run 48k too, $15800. It's even got RWC..

Unless I've missed something, looks very attractive, would be cheaper to buy a body kit for it and get it resprayed.. But again, being the kid, I'm 70% sure it wont happen.
Here are a couple of cars I found.

And the full listing here
How many of those would go under $19,000?
Also do you guys think $19-$20k for an FG XR6 under 60-80K too much to ask, even at the auctions? The guy at ford said you could easily get one, needless to say, I had a rather large smile when he said that, but then again, I'm not too sure
