S13's stock in mint, original condition can be found for $4-5k.
Bought my 180 from carsensor.net, mint, original condition for $3800 from Tsukuba area. Searched the area 2 weeks before finding it, just have to be patient.
Auctions are a good place to look but its like Ebay so you can't go inspect it first.

I'm not looking for anything special. By Japanese standards I think I'm looking for something pretty common: an OEM-spec, ~60k mileage, very well kept Silvia AND 180SX. They don't have to have suspension or wheels. I just want something that's 'factory'. I'd prefer the SR but the CA seems to be more prevalent.

I have seen R32 Skylines being sold for ridiculous amounts of money and they all look like shit on the outside and inside. A Silvia shouldn't be hard to find here. But I guarantee its a piece of crap.

...are all Silvias shitty, though? I'm not looking for a drift car or a built car. I'm looking for something owned by an old Japanese dude all it's life lol.
I know it's best to wait until I get there. I just have this fanboy dream of scooping a two-tone K's. If I could find a purple/grey one I'd shit an actual brick.
