<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Crazy days on BaT for sure. It used to be a site to find fair cars and values 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 just 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="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">The TR3 was a well 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 should provide lots of pleasure to the new owner. </span>

<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">I have seen really bad TRs get these prices on BaT and really excellent cars 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 just don't know the difference. They just see a cute car with shiny paint that reminds them of the good old days and $20-30k is seemingly the entry level cost for a classic car. BaT is definitely a sellers market now. </span>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">I also saw a 3A with some paint cracking and blemishes sold for over $20,000. Can it be that our cars are finally becoming investments?<br><br>I’ve been telling my wife just that for years but she just rolls her eyes and tells people, “he’s Irish……”</span></p>
