Default Total co$t of swapping

What year of civic and type of swap (engine year?) did you do? How much did that all cost and downtime?

Basically, dont go into a swap saying, oh ok, i have money for the swap, and for little stuff, things always happen, make sure you wont be in a sitution where you have no money, no car, and then no job or something. Remember, most of the time, it doesnt go as planned.

Yeah, always have some extra money around. It's safe to say to have an extra $1000 for "just in case" scenarios when doing a swap.

About twice as much as you plan on spending.
