Seriously though, what is your opinion on Wilfer basses sold as Wilfers? I'm asking because there is one in NYC that I'm very interested in.

Which Wilfer is this and about when was it made? I suggest you try a LaScalla Carved as well from AES. Same level of German workmanship but Arnold's design, set-up and neck set. There are at least 4 or 5 Wilfers over the last 70 years or so that I know of and the work varies by the makers, period, model and materials used and then some. To me, asking about 'A' Wilfer tells me very little because it can be almost anything in terms of good to bad in general terms.
