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.

That's interesting and not surprising. I haven't spent much time on BaT, but I did find myself wondering "how do you protect yourself, and how do you know if the car is any good?"

I guess that's my answer. You don't. Seems like it's mostly a porn site then. Nice place for fantasy.
