I know this thread is old, but I'm in the exact same position,I live in sydney and I'm looking for a xr6t in the same price bracket but I can't find anything in manual other then series 1 ba's, so 5spds, with around 100k on them for about 17 - 18k. there are a sh*t load of autos out there with less k's and are cheaper but I'd prefer a manual...... any suggestions on where to take a better look for some xr6t's for a reasonable price? thanks alex
