Hello all,
I recently totalled my prelude and have been in the market for a new car. I found a 94 3000GT SL for $5795 that has about 90k. I ran the vehicle check on the VIN and found that the car had changed hands twice and that after the second owner it went to an auto auction. Apparently, the current seller picked it up there. I was curious as to why it would have ended up at an auction rather than being sold to another person. I really love 3000GT's and it has been my dream car for years. Please help!

There are plenty of reasons it could have ended up at auction...
Just to list a few:
The owner didn't make payments and it was reposessed.
It was owned by someone busted by the cops, such as a drug dealer/smuggler, and it was confiscated when they were busted.
It was traded in at a dealership, and they couldn't sell it locally, so eventually they took it to an auction...
The reason doesn't have to do with the 3000gt specifically...it is more of a general question that could be applicable to any car in an auction. That being said, the best advice we can give you would be to get in touch with the seller and see if they know the details behind it...if they don't, see if you can get the info for who brought it to auction, and contact them.
