Where do you find a good car for $700?! My sister-in-law charged me $250 for her Accord, but it needed a timing belt, catalytic converter, and windshield.
The only running Civic that I found in the Phoenix area for $1,000 or under was this:

$1000 for an autocraptastic CX.
I would probably get better fuel economy in it than my HX.
