Default E series buying advice needed

Am looking at getting a new car for the missus after hers was written off by some dumb bint pulling out in front of her on Monday.

Have found a 94 ED futura with 148000 KMS, its a 5 spd and dual fuel - car looks clean and drives well new clutch and a bit of warranty.
What should i look at paying? the car yard is after $4900.

Choice 2:
92 XR8 falcon.
Dual fuel 5spd manual, It's been described as immulacule for its age, 183,000kms, With full history and books, serviced and just detailed. It has ABS Brakes and Cruise control also the recaro sports seats, trim, suspension and alloys. looks good and can get for $5200

Choice 3:
94 EF Falcon
190000Kms, 5 spd, mags spoiler etc very good condition $4850
Choice 4:
94 EF Falcon
202000kms, 5 spd manual, dual fuel, mags dont know about any history but looks very clean $4800

Any advice from you guys in the know would be appreciated for the best choice of the above for holding value and what to look out for.
Cheers
JK

Theres a lot cheaper cars out there than that. Except for the V8, that seems about right.
I got my 95 EF 5sp for 3k. 205k kms too.

yep thats the vote im pushing too the XR8, cheers guys.

already got an XB coupe V8 project in the shed but at least this aint a project and nothing needs doing to it.
Plus out of all of em she liked the 8 best so that will be a winner.

We need a crapper too cos the head gasket has just gone on the landcruiser HJ60 (bad week for cars this week) my daily drive its only worth parting really anyone interested in landcruiser bits??
