Hate to break it to you buddy, but even 6k for an auto curren is pushing it. Extend you budget to at least 7 and your almost guaranteed a minter :)

I got mine for 6, needed warrant, rego, 2 new tires etc. And its not even a 3sge. And the guy wanted 7 too. Shop around, you may get lucky.

Not really. Look at the price of a curren on TM from a dealer. And i payed 6k for mine. Perfect body condition, 2 weeks out of the lot. Under 100,000 km's. Manual. It *had* warranty on the engine etc from the dealer when i got it, which a 2nd hand car on TM wont have. Ive also spent about 200 bucks on the engine alone. And that was minor servicing.

Hey congrats, that sounds like a good buy 8)

To post up pics here you need to upload them to another site then link to them from here.

The easiest way is to set up a free account with www.photobucket.com it only takes a minute to sign up, then you can upload your pics there.

Once they're uploaded there, underneath each pic will be the IMG code e.g. [ IMG ]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/mysupercoolpics/Curren.jpg[ /IMG ]

Just copy the code under your pictures there, into your post here and the pics will show up :)
