Have you checked the trading post section here?
A member is selling his gpx for 3.9 (nego) in adelaide. (I'll bargain that for 3.5
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
). Has some decent basic mods. But high kms though.
Repair costs:
Center console brand new something around 200-250 from Dwayne (dstocks)
Heater coil, buy from dwayne, can't remember the price but shouldn't cost much.
Wheel alignment 40 as long as it has nothing to do with any bushes or rims.
You can even pick up some nice body kit, get those faults repaired yet still be below 8.5k
Roof rust is something to look out for and does cost quite a bit to fix. (1.5-2k depending on job)
Gear box is also worth checking before buying as well.
Can't really give you an approximate price on that car you saw on gumtree till we get more details. But if all the regular stuff has been taken care of, around 5k will be what i would pay for it.
Try and get a manual fto gpx if you can, you will enjoy it way more than an auto.
