Default How do ya know??

Hi all, I'm currently a blue oval kinda guy, and I'm thinking about buyin a bird. My question is how do you know which ones are real and which ones are cloned. I'm looking at a 02 T/a WS6 and I dont want to find out it's a clone after I purchase it. So if some of you guys could research the vin for me and let me know what it is I'd REALLY appreciate it. The VIN is as follows:
2G2FV22G422169395
Thanks in advance

There should be a white lable on the inside of the driver door with a whole bunch of three letter codes. Some where in that bunch of codes you should see one that says WS6 in order for it to be a true WS6.

Also if you'd like to go a step further to make sure that you have a true WS6, checkout this thread below, pm your vin # to the guy that started this thread and he'll get you the conversion date & ASC number of your car...

That seems a little high but I'm pretty sure you can find one for less than their asking price.

Also checkout your local forum(s) I'm pretty sure you'll find a few people selling their Birds for a good price.
