Willhoit has a good reputation in finding and selling low mileage 993s. I spoke to hima couple of times when I was searching for my car, but he did not have exactly what I was looking for at the time. He was very responsive to my inquiry and appeared to know his inventory.
IMO I think those prices are unrealistic in the present market, but Wilhoit is always moving his inventory.
Those are two really nice, pristine 993s.
If you like one, make him an offer and see where it goes. After all it is winter in MO and he needs to keep moving inventory to make a living.
Good luck!

WOW, high prices, & very low mileage!

If you intend to drive it, there might be some seals & other problems from not being used.

There is a mint 97 C2S silver/grey 16k in the DC area for $59k. Seems like a steal compared to these.

Call every independent p-car repair shop near you. A nice car will show up eventually and you may even avoid any competing offers. Just make sure you don't cut any corners on your PPI.

Their inventory, for the way they're priced seems to sit around for a long time. When I was looking last year for a CarreraS, I would see their listings on Ebay and on the search page on Porsche North America for the same cars for months on end. They seem to be a museum for very low mileage examples.

Bruce Anderson should use some of Willhoit's pricing for his column which he should consider rewriting from time to time. I have back issues of his price/value sections and the only thing that will change are the layout of the nice drawings of the cars. The text is almost exactly the same.

In conclusion, the cars are excellent, but overpriced, right ?

Right!!

But they will listen to offers and the worst that can happen is they will probly counter your offer.

P.S. Preimere is right next door.

That C2S is nice but lacking a few Factory options I would want.No Hi Fi Stereo,Full Leather or Motorsound package.I don't think there are many options on that car.Very nice, though
