There is a '95 GTS Manual that does not seem quite right.

When you click Enlarge this picture you end up on a Williott GTS with a different colored interior and the wheels are actually matched versus the front-rear compination on the black over black one.

It doesn't do that for me. Seems nice although no supple leather seats and the mileage is pretty high for min bid. The paint looks almost too good for that much mileage but you never know, some people take very good care of their cars.

Good eyes. Didn't pick up on that but now that you mention it, it is quite obvious.

Doesn't it sound weird that the seller has never sold a car in his feedback; that he has copied the Williott font and most of the description ; that he offers to describe the car in detail either in email or over the phone without mention of a PPI? Also, I have a recollection of a similar car with mis-matched Cup wheels being offered within the last year or so. And when I click enlarge I definetly go to a older Williott offering.

Says extra winter tires & rims, so maybe he's got the winter ones on half the car.

If your going to try and sell a car at least take some better pictures, have all four wheels being the same, etc. $40K is nuts for this car.

I only get an enlarged picture when I click on enlarge. Very strange. Nice house though.

I have seen the same backdrop used on several adds other cars than 928's also. It looks like the seller sells misc stuff. Most items too old to be pulled up any more. From what I see it doesn't look like the seller owns the house in the picture. I doubt he would bother selling small items if he can afford a house like that. Willhoit does advertise more GTS's than anyone else it is possible he just took his ques form Willhoit adds.

Would be curious to know why you are getting links to older Wilhoit adds though.

Yep I got the same thing! I clicked on enlarge and it took me to a willhoit e-bay listing for a black/tan 94 auto. Weird!! To say the least.

Very strange some are getting links to older Willhoit adds yet I am getting enlarged versions of the photos. Very strange indeed. Very curious to know why that is?

Guys,
It may well have supple leather seats - what they aren't is draped leather seats - so I think the description of that is probably just subjective.

The rear wheels are not original to the car (from a 93/early 94 if they are GTS wheels). If he does have the full original wheels with other rubber + a spare set of C1's - Great Combo. Agreed its odd he wouldn't have put the matching set on for the photo shoot.

Overall looks like a nice car from what can be seen... PPI would be required but 98K is not unreasonable for a well driven car (winter wheels!) and I wouldn't worry to much if there are records of regular maintenence & good PPI & close up body inspectio.

If a GTS 95 black manual isn't "potentially" worth his price then no 928 is. I for one hope he gets it (and more) so I'm not any further in the hole with my car. We should all be talking the price of these babies up not down.... What a screaming deal - all that car for only $40K...!

Alan
