Default Should I buy this car???

It's 2002 Dark Metallic Blue WS6 with manual transmission and it has 79xxx miles on it. It also has clean title too. I talked to the owner and he said he'd let me have it for 12.5k before tax and title so i'm looking at 13.3-13.5ish out the door. I'm not sure whether is has been modified or not, but from the picture, it seems like it has couple mods done to it. I'm gonna have to check it out next week.
Here are some pics of it.






What do you guys think??

Thanks in advance. Any reply would be greatly appreciated.

Looks fine, but ditch the stickers. If it doesnt work out, I also have the SS twin w/hardtop for sale. Lower miles and some mods.

The mods I see is a lid, headers, different tips (maybe even a whole cat back) and different pedals. Overall it looks like a nice car though.

I also see a Detroit trutrack or whatever it is sticker in the back of the bay so it may also have a 3.73/410gear out back or maybe even possibly a 9inch or 12bolt which would be a huge bonus

The problem is, the car is located like 70 miles away from where i live. so i'm going to have to take couple of my friends who know what to look for before i buy it.

About the mods, I thought too that it was modded a little, but the salesman said its STOCK?? obviously he doesnt know what he's talking about.

The car is listed for $14980 and $12500 is what he would accept if i pay cash. I'm gonna try to talk to him down to somewhere near $11500 or $12500 out the door.

Carfax shows no accidents or anykind. it has clean title.
