Around here there are many more Civic HXes than VXes and the highest listing price that I have seen for a HX was $3,500, but I would hope that you would try to negotiate down.
I have a Forester and it is a great car, I just was not able to find something more economical and after a year, I think that it is time. I have made many posts on here about looking for HXes, but having called about four, seeing two, and test driving and making an offer on one, I am waiting until finals are over!
The HX does not get as good mileage as the VX, it is rated 31/39 instead of 37/45, so it would cost you 15% more to drive, but being a larger car with a trunk, you might not need to keep the Outback, and then you would be saving more!
I will point out that if you really want to ecomod, you can easily put a Kammback on a VX and presumably a boat-tail, but it is much more difficult with a sedan. Basically, your attachment options are duct tape or something permanent.
Whatever you choose, good luck, and please keep us posted!
