The last one, because it's a manual...(if you're looking to drive it hard).
They're all pretty nice though.

The two white looks hot, the one with the white wheels, even better!!!

It all depends how they are mechanically.

Man the prices have dropped. the last one says a three year warranty on parts and labour. Thats worth a couple of grand extra alone (if they arn't tools and refuse to pay for anything)

Saw the third one on a Jap import site a while back for around $5000 Aus, with compliance, rego and all the transport fees would be around $11,000-$12,000 max.

its an Aero R, needs new paint on bumper bars, i think a heavy cut/ polish/ wax can fix the scrathes on the doors, the passenger seatbase has big big stains on it that probably can be removed, i didnt get to have a look inside it as he was shutting up shop when i got there.

tyres are pretty much new bridgestones. everything standard. besides the paint problems, not a bad looker. but didnt get to drive it or look at mechanicals. he said he's willing to negotiate price, thats why its so dirty.

the white manual Version R is still at the docks he reckons, and if you want it you have to be quick coz some dude up in townsville wants it.
