Default Does everything check out ok?

Hi. I just got this car on Ebay and havent' paid the deposit yet. Does anyone see anything wrong that I may have missed in the pictures or description or anything? I ran a authocheck on it and it all turned up ok. If you subtract the trip odometer from the actual mileage, its the exact reading of a reported mileage back in 2004! Thanks for looking. the link is HERE - 2002 WS6

Any opinions or advice would be greatly appreciated!

UPDATE: Hmm i have looked at the pictures more and the Trans Am and WS6 badges are gone as in not on the car..

The car looks good but what the hell is up with the stupid red-rubber-ricer floor mats and the ricer shoulder pads???

The center console looks clean too.

I think that it looks gorgeous without the badges, the sides look a ton cleaner without the Trans Am on them. I just love the badgeless look on cars.

Why would someone tastefully debadge this car and remove the side moldings (looks good IMO), but put those hideously gay floormats and seat belt pads in?

Gorgeous car, looks like a great find. Although, that price seems kinda high for the mileage, no?

Yeah really then they stick it in their showroom sitting next to a Corvette. The sad thing is that the dealership that did this more than likely as did it as a "selling" point .

Looks like a really clean WS6 to me. I like how it looks de-badged, but yeah the floor mats and ricer shoulder pad things gotta go.
