You can check with importers/import broker [J-Spec, Prestige Motorsport, Iron Chef, etc]

Kristian at Iron Chef is great. You can check sites like goo-net to look at dealer cars, You'll also get an idea of what(Inflated dealer) prices are. Private cars and auction cars will in most cases be cheaper.

Ah, didn't think of that... I kept checking yahoo jp, and import monster... didn't think of asking an importer themselves. Might do that, cheers

Good luck!!
My one is the only one I have seen in Australia and I have been browsing ebay/carsales/gumtree for 3 years.... I also haven't seen one pop up on Trademe NZ before
The 4wd civic wagon was sold here in Australia which is more easier to find.

Npz, as Miguelone has said, there are many sources that cars can be attained from Dealers [General & Specialised - Expect these guys to be VERY expensive] and Auctions. Be sure when you're trying to import, find out where the car is from and what the status of the car is [eg. Caryard on display, sitting in a holding yard/dockyard, etc], I bought my AE111 without knowing it sat in the yards [Was told it was from a dealer] for a long time so upon arrival, it had to have a few things replaced alongside the compliance work.
If its from the auctions, check out the full inspection sheet as it should tell you the conditions of the car. Auctions you in general you might be waiting for a long while for the 'right' car and the 'right' price. For example cult cars like a BNR32 or AE86 is impossibly expensive @ auctions. So not all cars are cheaper via Auction.
Just some experience I wanted to pass on.
