Keep in mind, I'm presently driving a Civic.
Well I basically took same risk with the escort I have now. Had a rebuilt title. Only problems have been leaking radiator, but a patch fixed that. Obviously new tires and brakes.

I wouldn't be getting rid of the escort though. I'm "selling" it to my parents. So it'd still be available if civic died out.

I'm just more or less waiting on price of civic. If its 1000 or less. This would leave me with at least 600 to put towards any repairs. Which should be plenty to keep it running for good bit longer without any major problems I'm hoping.
