That silver one with 252k doesn’t seem too bad... IMA pack is good and most parts serviced/replaced recently...

Everyone says the engines can last over 400k with minimal maintenance, but if you’re worried, find a spare engine and plan to swap it at some point (ideally you’d rebuild the spare in the interim)...

Since you plan on deleting the IMA, you could also consider a K swap; you’ll still get terrific mileage with the right combination of parts and hypermiling, and it’ll be genuinely fast

Above all I’d see what you can get out of your Civic first before considering any of the three listed choices
