6000 is a good price, but even if it only costs 650 to freight it east, anyone would want to look at it first, so they would have to pay to freight themselves west, them possiby freight themselves east again if they didn't like the looks of it. easier to spend maybe 8000 and buy one locally. i think that is why you're not getting any interest..
I think the other comments are about right.
WA cars also have a bad reputation over here as far as I can tell; the general consensus is that the RWC standards etc are not nearly as stringent.
I don't know whether that has any basis in fact, but it's certainly an opinion I've heard many times - that basically they'll let anything drive around over there.

This is not legal advice.

Personally I reckon that if that's all you can get for it, then you should keep it.
The car is worth $8500 at least, in comparison to something else you could get for the money. If you're letting it go for $6k just because you don't like the fuel consumption, then, well, $2500 buys a fair amount of fuel.
What about LPG or an engine swap? I really love my Mav shorty; I'd hate to have to let it go.
I also think it might just be bad timing... cars don't seem to be selling very well at the moment unless it's just my imagination (can't get the MU sold...)
Heck, I'd do you a swap, Maverick for MU... we could meet at Adelaide or Alice! Saves you shipping those flares to me as well

Its not just the fuel consumption!
Basically i cant really afford to go and spend $2250 on getting it converted to gas otherwise i would and lets face it any stock car wether it be my car or someone else's sucks off road. Like i cant afford to upgrade anything on the car and i cant afford to do the kms i want to do so the only thing i can think of is get something worth a little less and have some fun doing it up. The other day i was going down a pi&% weak decline and i went over a slight drop and bottomed out and ended up having to get a new fuel tank cause i cracked the original one!!
When i finally sell or swap the thing im hoping on getting a mq diesel or turbo diesel.
