I've done the whole salvaged title thing... I hate to admit it, but I ended up treating the car with so little respect that it went to shit in no time. It was my winter car, but still... Knowing I couldn't resell it for much, I just didn't care, and beat the hell out of it. Just something to keep in mind. Other than that, go for it. Depending on what you ahve into the civic already, it could be a great deal.
