            But my wheelz!?

            Seriously, BAT is so predictable:

            -bitch about wheels... check
            -someone claiming how rare a Delphin 4 door auto is... check
            -clueless comments about common things “never seen that before”... check

            I wanna see someone post an auction where they have like five different sets of wheels on a car (bonus points if one set is Ronal Teddy Bears) and maybe one shot with a different wheel on each corner. Just to fvck with commenters.

              I like this plan, even more on a harlequin Golf.

                Am I right in assuming that if an ad is specifically titled "No Reserve", then there's no reserve. But if that's not in the title to the ad, does that always mean there's a reserve? I realize the seller can remove the reserve at any time, but I've been reading that BaT frowns on sellers posting cars with reserves on them...

                  Yes - as far as I understand this is the case. While BAT frowns on reserves....No Reserves are rare. In fact, after going through the process I would set my reserve as high as possible to start and then you can always lower it as the auction goes on.

                    You had me at Ronal Teddy Bears.

                    This would be so amazing. ;D

                      I miss the days of seeing cool old barn finds that didn't run and stuff like that for a few grand on BaT and the resulting posts and discussions about it on old jalopnik. Jalopshit is worthless now.

                        It's all about the Benjamins baby. Just be thankful that r3v hasn't decided to cash in like 90% of other forums.

                        But if you like good O/T stuff try Hooniverse.

                            I look at that late model coupe and think it should be worth 6-7k, maybe 8k.
                            Clean paint, clean interior, looks well maintained, but it’s an auto.

                            Yet on BAT it will sell for 10-13k. While some “‘modified” cars that are manual with quality upgrades don’t even come close to that number. Idgi

                              That '89 is my cars twin.
                              Cool that the seller found the correct upholstery and had the front seats done right.

                              Jokester I don't think it's going to go over $10k. Your $8k guess is right on the money.
