Default basic question about a 99 ws6

looking into getting a new car and getting out of building 4 bangers so i was offered a WS6 im looking into

the deal is

99ws6 with 60k miles (red)
auto but i can deal i guess
no dings and interior is mint
fully stock besides slp lid and slp mufflers
also the car is still under warranty for another year

the kid is asking 13k... is this ballpark...

1) Make sure it's a true WS6, check the RPO codes. Rear badge doesn't mean crap
2) How is it still under warranty?

KBB lists it as $11.5 as EXCELLENT condition. If it's not WS6, then it's $9.5. I gave it CD with Premium Sound (Monsoon), Dual Electric Seats, Leather, T-Tops, Premium Rims, Spoiler (since it was sadly an option heh)

If not abused and as clean as you say it is, you are definitely in the right price range. $11-12k would be best but I wouldn't pass on it if the price is firm. Very hard to find 'excellent' non-abused '99 WS6 models. One other thing to consider. Does it need tires right off the bat? That is $500 absolute minimum to add to your initial cost. If you want something real quality like the Goodyear GSD3 you are talking $700 for a set. It is a bargaining point as well. The present owner knows this as well. Good luck!

Check the Driver Door for the Service Parts Identification Tag. This tag has the VIN on it and all the RPO Codes. Look for WS6. If its there it is a WS6.
