LOL, same here. Good luck.
Shipping cost have been high I think. Maybe buy something low miles/hours in mint condition and just hav it sent to you if you run out of local cars.

We have two dealers in the Chicago area that specialize in former police/government vehicles (Chicago Motors and Asia Motors Inc). Maybe you have something like that in your area. If not, maybe check the Chicago sites for reference. I've seen plenty of 9C1's ($10-$16K) - price mostly dependent on mileage. They usually have interior "police" issues (barrier, crappy console, spotlight, holes in trunk from antenna's, etc.) but many have very low miles. Occasionally there'll be a 9C3.
Also, you might dig around to find the auctions where these cars are cheapest. I'm not sure how you chase those down.
Wadda ya know - searched san francisco ppv caprice and found this:
white '13 9C1 for $11,995, 77k miles in San Fran area: https://www.carsforsale.com/vehicle/details/68723763
They seem to have several ppv's but if the price is really low, it's most certainly a 6 cylinder (beware :shock: )
Good luck and welcome!
