Remember when BAT had AFFORDABLE cars in the listings? I'm seeing a trend here too.

That was back when "Bring a Trailer" meant "because it doesn't run", not "because you have to protect a million-dollar paint job".

check out barnfinds.com to relive some of those memories...

Now that the auction is closed, I can share it: 1997 BMW 320i Touring in Techno Violet. 

Right color, right setup. It was even just one state over. 

It was rather tempting–especially when bidding seems set in the teens for a bit.

Bring a trailer before it was an auction site showed interesting cars and projects they found on EBay , Craigslist ,  and some that readers sent in , 

Bring a trailer was not selling anything at the beginning , 

Big change from today !

yeah I used to be an avid reader just hear experts chime in on the most bizzare/rare/odd options & etc.

then it became a pissing match of originality and the whole auction house that it is today. 

however I was happy to sell my rx7 turbo for a profit there with relative ease so not really upset at them by any means but incredible how that grew from when I started reading it back in 2010.

Remember when it wasn't a front for money laundering?

I no longer visit BAT as they have changed their focus so completely. But good for them as they are most likely making much more money now with what started as a hobby. Fortunately as mentioned there is still Barnfinds, and also Daily Tourismo to show us the dilapidated junk we plebes can dream of owning.

I still look at BAT weekly; it's morphed to a different market that's not for me but I do commend them on their success.

I know it's because it was never offered here but over $22k with fees for a 25 year old 148 HP E36? EEEK.
