$3-4k on the XR6 and spend the rest on brake pads and new shocks it will be fun...
if you spend all your $6k up front it won't be fun when it breaks least you will have change from an xr6 to fix it up
I know of at least three au 220 manual xr8s that have been bought for less than 6k in the last few weeks, one was nearly half that amount...
The enthusiasts that have them all want 10k but to any normal joe they're just an old v8 falcon and nothing special.

But, I already have one v8 barge, hence why I was thinking something smaller and agile.
A MR2 would be all right too.
