Anyone know the history of this car?
http://www.willhoitenterprises.com/car426.htm

Or, if anyone is close to Springfield, I would be curious if they have seen this car in person. I am considering picking up a "new" one.

$104k is STRONG money for a 14k mile car.

I also have to say that those supple seats are goofy looking.

other wise, looks nice.

If you like the car, make an offer - you never know unless you ask.

Very nice car. 100K or 80K is not that big of a deal to many folks. If this is what you've been looking for, negotiate the best price you can, get a PPI and enjoy.

Wow the price seems a bit high. I have been thinking about selling my 96 993TT black/grey with 13.5k miles for the past few months and have been trying to figure out what to ask for the car.

My car is bone stock with two sets of wheels, what should I be asking ?

Depends if you are going to sell it to me!

Low mileage examples that are unmolested seem to command a premium. You can always ask high and see what happens (which is what this ad is all about). In the 60's should be no problem, 70's harder, 80's and up depend if you find someone with deep pockets who really wants it...

Lance4C - I believe you pay extra when you buy from a dealer and we all know that but in my experience when I purchased from Willhoit last March I got a fair price on a wonderful, like new automobile from a guy who has been doing this for 30+ years. Of course there is profit that goes to the dealer but lets not forget that a dealer has the financial clout and the vested interest to truly stand behind what they sell. Make him a reasonable offer and I am sure you will find him to be reasonable in return.
P.S. I had sports seats in my previous car but have the supple leather in my current vehicle and I am very pleased with my current setup.

AGC - If your car is bone stock with no paint work and absolutely like new, I'd ask 89,900. In the spring you should be able to get something very close to that.

the benefit of Michael Willhoit is that if you buy a car from hi he gives a money back guarantee and he is the pickiest of the picky when it come to selecting cars... i bought my 930 sight unseen from him and i would do it again. the car was perfect and still is

+1 Precisely my experience times 5 - as I have purchased 5 cars from Willhoit and had the same stellar experience each time. By the way, I am extremely picky!

As long as you don't drive it, you will double your money in 25 years.
