<span style=3D"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Crazy days on B=
aT for sure. It used to be a site to find fair cars and values and be=
tter for buyers. This TR4 was a really nice car, no matter the 4 or 4=
A part. The car was refinished to a very high standard and $20-30K ju=
st ain't what it used to be. Just try buying a good car for $20K, new=
or used. The average price for a new car is at least $38K.</span>

<span style=3D"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">The TR3 was a w=
ell cared for car in the past, obviously by a Triumph enthusiast. It =
had lots of past issues showing through the paint and chassis, but it shoul=
d provide lots of pleasure to the new owner. </span>

<span style=3D"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">I have seen rea=
lly bad TRs get these prices on BaT and really excellent cars sell for simi=
lar prices. That's what I don't get. The best cars should sell =
at twice the price of the funky ones, but it's obvious most bidders just do=
n't know the difference. They just see a cute car with shiny paint th=
at reminds them of the good old days and $20-30k is seemingly the entry lev=
el cost for a classic car. BaT is definitely a sellers market now.&nb=
