Cheap(ish) Buffet Clarinets?

Hi everyone,
I'm starting my senior year of high school in a couple of months and I want to pursue music in college and beyond. However, my teacher told me that (a) I would need an A clarinet and (b) my old Normandy probably wouldn't do the job (he tried playing it and said it was very stuffy!). I've been on the lookout for used, cheap-ish Buffet R13s in Bb and A, but I'm having little luck. I've been advised against ordering instruments from eBay or Reverb, but other websites list their prices $2,000+. Neither I or my family can afford any instrument that expensive (and yes, I do have a job - I also need to start saving for a car as well!), so I was hoping anyone could give me some better tips on where to look to find these!
Thanks,
Nathan

PS - I'm not looking into types other than the R13, nor am I looking to just do an overhaul on my intermediate-level Normandy
