I wanted to thank Markos (and others) for chiming in, while being SUPER delicate. (The fact that you only posted some possible abnormalities specifically on this site, and not on BAT itself, also speaks volumes.) You can count on two things on BAT. 1) Somebody with no specific knowledge will post comments about a car, and bash it while the auction is running. Some go the other way. We’ve all seen it. 2) Somebody else is going to overpay for the car. Period. If the car felt right to me, I was willing to overpay. It didn’t. The car may be 100% perfect, with someone getting a deal, but I’m OK with that. I’m willing to do the research on the car, and want to be comfortable with my bid. I’ll get into a pissing contest on the right car. For anyone who thinks that educated discussion about a 40 year old item made of steel for sale is somehow bad form, we’ll have to agree to disagree.
