Default Del sol deal is 2 good to be true????? What can I do to see if its stolen?

So I think I found a great deal on a sol but I think it might be stolen.

He is selling it to me for $600 but he bought it for 3g's last weekend. He said he is selling to me because the transmission place wants 2800 to fix it.. Here are the specs:

1994 Black civic del sol si
Broken Transmission
Automatic
Alpine Stereo with dynamat installed
Konig Traffik 16x7 nice rims.
Perfect interior except seats are worn.
1 very small dent and 1 small dent

I wanna know how to see if its stolen or something but the I got the VIN and the DMV says its clean but idk. What should I do?

If you're smart you'll fix the transmission and sell it to some girl going away to college for $3500. expletive swapping it to manual. Manual Hondas attract fanboys who lowball. Automatic Hondas - especially gay Del Sol's - attract the parents of little girls who want to put their daughter in something "fun" and "cute" for college.

I wouldn't exactly call del Sols gay... granted it is a little feminine, but I'm willing to look past that seeing as how its a targa top.

Keep it! Forget some college girl, turn that thing into a track car (that is, if you have space and actually track your car).

I agree, except sell it for more, you can get somebody to buy it. Pretty damn good descript too, because that's definately all true...you usually don't see girls in manual hondas - the majority of girls that drive hondas drive autos (and i don't care how many girls you claim you know that drive manuals). Fix the tranny or buy a new one and sell the car... If it's gonna cost 2800 to fix, buy a new tranny, you can get one for that car (auto or standard, don't make a bit of diff) for way less..

what I REALLY want is an 88+ crx shell to throw my ls/vtec setup in but no good ones have come up under $500 or even under $1000. THe crx ls/vtec would run way better times than the heavier del sol
