I spotted this rare XR6 wagon on carsales.com.au in February 2022 - asking a huge $38,5090. Yes, it's had a paint job and presents well, but less than a decade ago you could pick one up for well under $10,000 - but this one is a bit more special in that it is supposedly an ex police vehicle. Either way, the wagons in XR trim were one of the rarest XRs. I think this is the first one on classicregister.com. In the original advertisement, the seller made the following comments:
