Anyway back to topic - here is my rough list for things that I will need to buy if i get one that doesn't have anything.
Obviously I will be shopping for one that has some of this stuff already. And installing most of this myself will save on a lot of the cost too.

1600 bull bar
400 lights
1300 suspension
1200 tyres
500 snorkel
350 duel battery
750 cargo barrier
= 5850

+ $1200 things from les richmond that I will end up getting

roughly $7k.

thanks for the help dudes

That is a great list, its one that most of us would have and done so a car that already has all of those and than some should be no trouble at all and will save you a packet as for re-sale, you will get basically nothing for them when fitted to a car.
Mine had all of those plus tow bar, rear maxi locker, extended breather lines, leather, sunroof and perfect service history.

They are out there, patience is the key.

Set a budget and work out what you really need, keep looking every day and even if one is insterstate, travel and drive back or take a gamble and truck it over and get an Aulroian to check it out.

Good luck.
