Owned by a college student who has put almost 20k miles on it... I'm betting that car has been driven rough. Plus for me modding the car is where the fun is at.

The whole thing sounds strange with too many ???'s to ask. Keep looking or you might regret it. So many NICE ones out there why even think about this one?

Since it's standard on a WS6 and wasnt on the other models, check for the Power Steering cooler for WS6 confirmation. Tho not to say one wasn't added, it's just more unlikely to have been.

If you have wood for the car, have its CarFax checked, and bring it to an experienced ASE Master Mechanic (find one leaving work at a Chevy or Pont Dealer) is your cheapest bet and just ask him if he could check it out in his spare time. These gents alot of times will do side jobs, and afterall he's just checking on something he's worked on before.
Or go to an experienced Tuner to go in there and see what's up on what he thinks was done and if it's been major fooled with, or if Homer Simpson was in there jackin' around.

As in everything, you have a 50/50 shot.
But atleast you'll know if the quality point stands or not..... Then give him $10,000 for not having any docs / receipts to confirm stories....(possibly $500 more if you feel like you'll just kate yourself if you don't get it), and then just walk away. JMO ....Good Luck
