If MINT condition, then that is a fair price. I'd like to see you get it for $16,000 so at least try to dicker a bit. Maintenance of the car? How many owners? Make sure you check the headlight motors, window motors, and look for the cracked door panels. Another consideration is the tires. You are looking at $600 minimum for a decent set. If the car needs any of these repairs or items, then the price must be lower. Don't forget to check the clarity of the fluids as well to make sure. Good luck! Keep us posted if you can.

Pretty close to my neck of the woods, less than an hour away. I see the need for tires (tread bars visible in the one picture). The front license plate cover is under $100 I believe but you need to paint it which is more $$. I don't see a boot cover which is quite expensive unless you can find one on ebay. I also see no mention of it being a real WS6 even though it looks like one. You will need to look at the RPO codes on the inside of the door. If real it will include WS6 in the codes. You need to hit the dealer with these shortcomings in your negotiations. Also check what I wrote above as far as maintenance, owners, fluids. Don't take shortcuts. This is an expensive purchase that you want to enjoy, not have headaches.
