You can use compnine.com for this service, or go to any GM dealer.

Don't they still offer a free "sample" report that works for one VIN? It's been a while since I used it, but you used to be able to get one free (actually a long time ago you could get an unlimited amount for free).

You could always have the owner send you a picture of the SPID sticker that shows the VIN as well as the RPOs. Then just make sure that this matches the car's VIN when you see it.

The RPO sticker is the only way I know to determine if it is a true WS6. Just wanted to save you some money before you ordered that report.

A VIS report directly from a GM dealer is as good as the original RPO sticker in terms of option verification. Only concern then is if the VIN reported is the actual VIN from the car, but obviously you can only verify that in person.
