Default AU XR6 First Car Help

Hi Guys,

Im currently in the search for my first car being an AU XR6 Manual, but would like to know some problems that can go wrong with it, and what to look for when searching.
I do love my AU's and with my dad owning his XR6 since new, I know my way around one, but I'm not very mechanically minded.
(Yes I enjoy Driving Manual!)

What do i need to look for when going over one as i plan to look for a few sometime soon? (A few already in the picture)
I get my P's in a month and want a car to be able to drive.

Here are some ideas I've got that i need to look for:
-Slipping Clutch
-Wear and tear
-The Tickford Tick (Passenger Side inner Guard. Carbon Canister)
-Km's
-Service and Log Books
-All panels are aligned and match
-Unknown Engine noises

Also would you be able to help with a price range that i'll be looking at? (With km's between 110-170)

Cheers,
Nath
