WRX

Hi guys.
First post here. I currently have an 05 WRX and I'm thinking of selling it to buy a ute. I only do about 5K km per year as I train to work, so I thought I'd rather have a car that car carry things.
I'm tossing up between spending 5-10K on an older V8 ute (VN-VS) or spending around 10-12K (VU?).
I prefer the noise of the older aussie V8, but I'm worried the ute might be a bit rickety at that age.
The VU SS's seem to have 150-200k's on them in that price range.
Can anyone provide me with some insight into possible problems that I might run into from buying either model? (LS3 oil leaks, or issues the older V8 has?) And how eaither compares roughly performance-wise to my current car?
Any replies welcomed! Thanks.
