I think the engine/tranny is probably fine. It's all highway miles, afterall.

Why not? It sounds legit!
On a serious note... Listen to ShawnD. Don't buy the car.
Are you even old enough to drive?

a dsm is for people with money or parents with money...
they have issues that are not as easy or cheap to fix as hondas...
stick with something easy if you plan on driving/beating the hell out of it...
most dsmers(if being truthful) will admit to this...
