Hi Auscobra,
Have a look at
http://www.pickles.com.au/auctiontt.html
and check the auction of damaged vehicles in Perth, it's on every week.
There is an XR8 listed for the auction next week, it's worth going down to seee what price the go for. I went several times and almost bought an XR8 ute for $2,500.
Good luck
Ross
