Willhoit Enterprises or Luxury Motorsports

Anyone have positive, or negative, comments on dealing with either of these dealers in purchases?

Thanks!

What the hell is wrong with you? That's the fastest way I know to turn people off to whatever it is your selling.

Springfield, seems like a real nice guy, good selection, just checking before buying.

There was a post in between my outburst and your original post by a troll trying directing folks to another site. I saw this same posting on many other threads last night. It has been deleated, which is good, but it sure makes mine look bad out of context!

I met Mr. Willhoit a few years ago at a swap meet. He had purchased a car I previously owned and was selling off unused parts. Nice guy. Never done any business with him though.

Willhoit buys the best low mileage cars he can find, details them to the hilt, then resells them for thousands more than his cost. They are accurately represented - what you see is what you get. But man, you are going to PAY for it.

I have done a few deals with Michael on sight-unseen mid-80s 911s. Very nice guy to deal with. Cars were very high quality and as represented. The transactions were executed perfectly from sale to delivery (he even bought one of them back from me two years later). I recommended him to a friend who had a like experience.
