Default AU XR utes - still a good buy?

Hi,

I posted in a previous thread about ditching my Navara ute for either a BA or AU XR ute.

I saw a black XR8 AU the other day and it got me thinking as the windsor though a bit breathless sounded great, wasn't too bad on the juice and SHOULD be cheap now as they are (for me) ancient.

Now I should say that I nomally don't keep a car for long and always have new but the idea of owning the car outright ATM really appeals.

So anything in particular to look out for, any big problems relating to age?

Is there a point that even a well maintained car will go downhill? had an AU forte that did this at about 5.1 years/100001k's :-( despite regular servicing etc.

Is the 220kw donk available in the AU3 utes?

The XR8 utes I have seen on carsales seem to be above average in price for a 6-7 year old vehicle so this may be the deal killer

Should I not bother and just get a BA XR6?

TIA
