purchase

I'm looking for a used Civic, and I'm just trying to learn just as much as I can before I begin shopping.

I hear that I should stay away from the 96-98s because of the single cam setup. Do all 99's and later use a dual cam?

What other years should I stay away from?

What years (within the last 5 or 6) were great buys?

I'm not looking for a new car, as you may have guessed, so don't worry about suggesting an '02 or '03.

If you guys know of a place where I can find engine specs from the earlier 94 to present Civics (and Accords, too), let me know, too. I'm new to Honda.
