Maybe try the heros for hire Facebook page. Sometimes superman suits come up on there. Sorry I don't know many other outlets. Perhaps the rpf junkyard or project runs may have something going?
So this all depends on:
1) What version of Superman are you looking for? A specific movie (Superman I, II - Man of Steel, Superman Returns) -- or cartoon/comic book traditional, or any specific storyline suit, etc...
2) How accurate does it need to be

The classic one with the red trunks and in terms of accuracy well, i just want it to not look like the superman suit you see on zentai sites

can you send the exact link for that fb page ? can't seem to find the right one, as for the classifieds, i have checked the junkyard and the project runs and haven't found any
Yeah unfortunately, unless you can find something used it'll be pretty hard to find an accurate looking suit....
With Zentai sites and ebay-sellers, you might be able to find something a bit closer like this:
http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/6JcAAOSw8lBTls6R/s-l1600.jpg
but as you can see, it's simply "closer" not really "accurate".
What you could , do however is find one that's somewhat close and just modify some things yourself. There are some websites that show how to make the cape and how to make the S. Perhaps if you found a base suit, you can add your own S and cape, maybe trunks. There's even some stuff out there to make decent looking boots for cheap wihere 90 percent is already done....
If you do end up finding something, let us know. I'd also be interested in a direct link to that FB page. I coudlnt find it either.

Well if that's the case then I'll probably either make my own like you said, or just save-up for a Custom-Costumes Superman suit, thanks for the suggestions!

Cosplay Sky ships from Hong Kong and isn't terrible:

However, last year, I bought was supposed to be their Old Obi Wan costume and the brown outer Jedi robe was crap. The inner robe was well enough made -- but closer to the new Jedi style than Ben Kenobi. Still, I didn't feel ripped off.
