Id just find one and start off fresh... chances are if someone swaps a new engine its gonna be abused, but if you find a normal stock one from an older person, itll be treated and maintained better. I find these civics all day for like 2400, and you can talk them down even more...

Ill probally just go with a 5.0 or 3000gt (vr4), it would be a hassle to get a motor swapped and turboed for what i could do with a mustang anyway.

Honestly Id say its worth around $4k in my area if its rust free. 6k is a bit much for a car with ugly,rims,non Si and non Dohc vtec hb. Ive seen turbo LS 92-95 for that much.
