We have also seen a couple of cars on BAT that we have had in our shop for minor issues.... What I can tell you is buyer beware on BAT. I guess the same goes for any other auction site, but BAT passes itself off as having unique good cars.

To me that’s the greatest farce of BaT. People think the comments on BaT are a form of vetting, which is sorta true, but it’s all based on pictures and description. Pictures can hide a lot and pictures don’t give you any realistic perspective on the mechanical condition. You are basically paying top dollar for a car sight unseen. Buyer beware.
