    Has anyone ever done business with them? Thinking about a car there but just don't know them so would appreciate any experience or perspectives anyone has. Thanks.

    I bought a 993tt from him sight unseen and had a great experience. Car was as advertised. He even stayed up until some unthinkable hour and picked me up from the airport to do the paperwork and send me on my way.

    Yes, in fact we just made a deal on that car. I owned a white 2007 RS previously and have missed it since I sold it. Really great cars. Thanks to everybody for the views. It was very helpful.

    Buy whatever he is selling and trust it's as represented. I've bought 2 cars from him and each one was better than the next. He's a great guy and honest business man.

    Side Topic - sorry to steal thread

    Any other Porsche Dealerships that have this good of a reputation? I'm starting to look for a Turbo or GT3 and would like someone I can trust.

    Thanks,

    Mike

    I can also echo all the positive sentiments about M. Willhoit. He is a true class act and there aren't too many in this industry that I can say that about. I bought a 993 TT this Spring from him sight unseen, and it was just as described. If you want the best, speak to Michael. I even got a free dog hair with mine! haha...

    Kirk, you will have no regrets dealing with Michael. He sold me my 328 10 years ago and he even said to me if the car is not as advertised to call him and he would take the car back and return all my monies.... Cheers, Rhett

    Me to I have asked Mike for help in the past with evaluating 928 's He was always helpful and had no dog in the hunt..i think he just desired a life style he could not afford and went over the line to have it. Not much else I can say , we all make mistakes but later in life they can be difficult to recover from. Dallas

    I sold him a 85 928 black /black with only 7k miles that was a museum piece. Did anyone here end up with it ?

    Also a 85 black /black 308 QV that ended up at Marshall Goldman with 21k miles.

    I’ve never dealt with him but often checked out his website (no longer there). Looking online I found this on Yelp (Look up Willhoit Enterprises Yelp)

    Sad if what is said in the review is true.
