Going To Buy a ws6 need some

So I checked out a auto 01 ws6 today. Motor sounded good while running but couldn't take it out bc we had no spare plates. a couple things I found wrong. Blinkers did not work, low beam headlight has water and did not work and a service engine soon light was on but wasn't mentioned in pictures. Has a clean car fax with 50,000 miles. Was asking 10k. I am going back Sunday would anybody be willing to help me out checking it out or give some advice / what to look for? Thanks guys.

that seems really steep for a car with problems.

Yeah, I agree with Scott, too much for a car with problems
Why are parts missing?

That seems like a lot of things wrong for a car with relatively low miles. Would make me think it wasn't taken care of very well, could potentially have a lot of problems come up in near future.

Gotta agree with everyone, that's a really steep price for a car in less than desirable condition.

Are you guys really fussing about a blinker not working and a cracked headlight bulb?
Get a handheld OBD2 scanner and go pull the code. See what that's about before freaking out. Walk away regardless, brainstorm for a few days and then go from there.

The real questions are why doesn't he have plates for it? Why did it come off the road? Get the history on it. Carfax doesn't mean dick. Did it require a jump or did it turn over immediately? Did you peak underneath to check the frame rails and underbody out for rust/rot? Any modifications? How's the paint? Did you verify that it doesn't have a LT1 under the hood instead of the LS1 you *thought* was there?


Yeesh.
