Save up a little more and get a s15, or even a clean s14-a can be had for less money and has more potential. These kind of turbo cars are cheaper, due to the population that has demand for them cannot drive due to being on their P's; resulting in a lower demand and lower value.

A 14+ year old car with 200,000+km is not worth 11K+.
Just my opinion.
Except that cheap silvias are all rooted and have been flogged. You need to know a lot to be able to gather if a car is ballsed. And I doubt op has those skills/ that knowledge. As said, drift tax has hit anything drift worthy hard, as well as they have mostly all been flogged to within an inch of their life if they are stock.

Dc2rs are still worth between 10 and 15, due to that being what people are willing to pay for them. The p plater law aided that. Whether people think they are worth less or not, won't change anything. Market value is between 10 and 15. 10k for a crap ones. Market values don't change with words, they change with less interest and maybe selling cars for less than they are worth. Which nobody will do. They want to sell them for as much as they can


As for the em1, b18c civics with a fair few upgrades go for around 8k~ em1s probably around that too. Non rego and non rwc/ blueslipped? Even less.
