I'd likely go for an XHII ute....
(ie.... knock a grand off this one)

If i didn't need the ute anymore.
I'd entertain the idea of going back to an AU again .. this time a manual though.
Series2/3 only though.

Thinking with my brain and not my heart: V8 EL Fairmont Ghia.

Vice Versa: XA to XC or a ZF to ZH 'lane if you're counting them too.

If it was an e series stick to an 8 as the 6's have head gasket problems, or go an AU. My brother has just bought an 2000 AU Forte for $1500 with rego and RWC and it's not in that bad of condition, just a couple scratches and shopping trolley dents if yopur picky. But just to look at the car it looks quite nice. Kays aren't that high either 180 odd.

A six pot XB Fairmont. It may be a bit rough for 5k though.
