That's a lot of supply at relatively low prices. Makes it hard to justify paying $50K plus for one. Even if the condition isn't great on these, buy one for $28-30K (those are asking prices after all, not what you will pay), put in $15K and it's as good as the one for $50K on BaT, if not better. And you know for sure what work was done, without having to rely on "seller claims xyz was done in year 20??" and some pictures.

Does not work that way, you can not erase mileage. A 200,000 mile car with a rebuilt engine is still worth what a 200 mile car is., even if it has a $15,000.00 in a rebuilt engine. So it is not as good as a 50k car on BAT.
I have two 200,000 plus mile cars I tried to sell and I know the above very well from recent personal experience.
