What was the damage that caused it to be totaled? How was it repaired? If it's a salvage title the price should be considerably below KBB. I tend to stay away from salvage title cars due to you having no idea how well the repairs were done.

Per Fuelly the 8th gen Civics got slightly worse mileage than the 7th gen civics (the 9th gen was where the MPGs seemed to climb, and even better for the current 10th gen). However it's superior aerodynamics seem to make it an equally good if not better car for ecomodders.
Hondas CVTs have a bad reputation...newer ones are better though. Not sure when the "cutoff" year is though. A CVT will also limit your max MPG since it isn't a manual, although I've been getting well over 40 mpg and close to 50 mpg with my 4 speed since modding.
Never go above KBB...a Civic like that should be $5K-$6K, unless you can really talk the seller into going down by $2k or so.

206K isn't that high for a Toyota or Honda.
