Crazy days on BaT for sure. It used to be a site to find fair cars and val=
ues and better for buyers. This TR4 was a really nice car, no matter the 4=
or 4A 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 u=
sed. The average price for a new car is at least $38K.
The TR3 was a well cared for car in the past, obviously by a Triumph enthus=
iast. It had lots of past issues showing through the paint and chassis, bu=
t it should provide lots of pleasure to the new owner. =20
I have seen really bad TRs get these prices on BaT and really excellent car=
s sell for similar 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 ju=
st don'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. =20
Crazy days,
Dave H.
