Thats an excellent deal. I got my base 98 TA with 50k for $9,000 but I made a killing. Paying another $2,000 for a WS6 with fewer miles is still a great deal. I'd say go for it man, these cars are hella fun.

Good deal. I would run a Car Fax report just to be sure, even though they don't always show everything (i.e., non-reported incidents). BTW, is it a 6spd? If he's ASKING $11,000.00 and not firm on price, I would try to offer him $10,500.00. If not accepted, meet in between for maybe $10,800.00.

Def. try to talk him down, that's a know brainer right there. And if it is a m6 and you get him down 500 then there's the money you're saving to replace that clutch someday or mod it out some more. Good luck, hope you get it!
