Those civics are notrious for bad strut and bad front control arm bushings. Our labor times for those are 3.0 hrs for the bushings and 3.0 for the struts. Here in VA the about 140 each for the struts and 25 each for the bushings. Another thing to look for is the front mounts break alot also, and the driver seats rock because of bad plastic bushing. Also look at the rear shocks, they like go bad also. All in All everything seems about right. Used cars dont carry much of a warrenty. just caulk it up as a lesson learned. BTW im a honda tech
