timing belt kit (get a water pump that doesn't have plastic blades tho), replace vacuum lines, coolant hoses, and check for rust in trunk sides

depending on how long it sat and if you have idling problems; blue/brown coolant sensors, fuel filter, remove injectors and rig them to spray themselves clean, clean ICV, and possible take apart your AFM for mini rebuild and clean.

A friend of mine is actually selling his and my Civic recently got t-boned, any advice on how much I should spend? It's a 4-door as well

Fancy seeing you here.

They're great cars, and they can take a lot of shit without breaking down on you, contrary to all the dank memes. Mine just turned over 290k miles, and I took it on a 5000 mile road trip across the states a couple weeks ago. Right back to DD duty without a problem (even after wrecking my shit on an uneven spot on Main st in Houston)

hard to say without seeing pics, or specs of what it is also /bmwg/ can help with value

>late model 325i 4 door, with good paint, running and driving, manual?
$2-3k+ depending on a few other factors.
>early model 325e 4 door, with shit paint, auto and barely idles?
$1-2k tops

What made you think an old German car would be a good idea as a first car?
