Looking at a T/A need buying advice ASAP!!!!!!

Hey guys, just sold my mustang gt and UM650gtr........ looking at this 98 black T/A guy wants 6400 firm, 100k auto black with grey leather, 18 inch chrome vette wheels? Hooker headers and slp lid.
The car is in amazing condition and the test drive went great. The thing is I was kinda set on getting a Ws6 and this just a regular T/A so that brings me to my next question. Can someone list all the differences between a standard T/A and a WS6? Also do you think $6400 is a great deal for this car?

BTW here are some old pics of my old mustang and bike i just sold.

Some suspension and a raises air lid and some other small things beyond the hood and badging. If your looking to modify alot your gonna replace 80% of what makes a ws6 unique. Unless your set on having a real ws6 you can save a good chunk of cash by going to a regular TA

oh ok........i see...... hey man since this car has the header's with a straight through exhaust and there are no cats, the guy mentioned the service engine light would some time pop on because of that. Is that true? It wasn't on when i was driving the car btw....

If the codes haven't been turned off for the emissions parts that have been removed then yes

Just seems weird it goes on and off. When I pulled my cats it stayed on till I got it tuned out.

Maybe the guy had just cleared the code. It took about 50 or so miles for mine to come back after deleting it. p0420 that is.

Ask him what code keeps coming on. He could be full of shit and it's another recurring problem that he's too lazy to fix.

Yeah if it's popping on and he's clearing then yeah but the way he said it just seems like there is more too it. But I tend to be extremely suspicious of people. Close to 15 years of dealing with the public makes me not trust shit people say.

Well, he is trying to sell it after all. The fact that he mentioned it at all means he knows it will come back again.

I agree with 5.0, he needs to find out what code pops up.

I was originally going to get a WS6 "or at least thats what I wanted" but I ended up with a regular TA because ultimately, the only difference was the hood and air box...the suspension is old enough that its worn out on most cars that are for sale and I was going to swap the sway bars anyway so a thinner stock bar didnt really bother me.

Hood, Air Box, Sway Bars, Badges, and wheels are about the only difference...some had different shocks but not all of them.

I also was gonna buy a WS6. After some research, I also realized the things that made it a WS6 I was gonna change anyway. Hood being the only thing that actually stayed the same on my TA. The intake, exhaust, suspension all got changed anyway.
