I would say around $10 or 11000. Mine's an AU2, and is probably worth 12 to 14, maybe!

hard to say , i only just recentlly purchased my AUII XR6 VCT for $10,400 in immaculate condition ( and managed to get insurance for $20,000 ) , so i didnt mind paying 10,400 for it ....... if that gives u anything to go by comparison price wise compared to year model , although alot of people did say i got a bargain, and not forgetting that isnt an original xr6 , looks nice though imo prolly around the 9's maximum , but thats just going off prices i seen latelly on other cars similar while searching th ecar yards etc etc ..they can go for anything really , goto an auction and ull get 1 next to nothing , that goes for any model car nearlly .. , nice car anyways and welcome to the forums.

Kms and location would also have a bearing on the price

I own one so I am not happy to say this but it would be worth between $6-$8k. I don't think an AU forte wagon won't fetch $10k.

Yours is a nice looking example in a good colour with nice body mods and wheels. Anyone wanting one like that would have to be prepared to pay a bit extra. But selling modded cars is hard. People want to mod it themselves or if they don't they want a modded car but can't afford it. Dealers and the trade just want stock std cars and won't touch modded cars as they are too much trouble.

In short I would hang on to it its not worth selling for what you'd get for it.
