BAT=bring a trailer dot com auction
Local craigslist will probably drag out so Im not sure if thats the best option.
The car is a salvage title, has 190k plus miles and needs some suspension/paint work.
Lowered on 18 inch monos and has a 5.4 Ml55 engine swapped.
Might need a bit of maintenance. At this point definitely more of a project car even tho its perfectly derivable.
Interior is in super good shape. All factory no aftermarket stuff.
I figure $4-4500 Id be happy with at this point honestly

list on car gurus and forums first. BAT makes the call to accept or deny a car, and I don't know how they make that call. When I peruse BAT, I've never seen a salvage title car.

It is funny how the notion of Bring a Trailer has changed. It used to be all about project cars, hence the title. Now there are perfectly restored cars going for hundreds of thousands of dollars on there. Not really in line with the original mission in my opinion, which is where your car would fit in perfectly.

Bring a trailer name suggests its a project car thats for sure. For them to not accept project cars nowdays would not be cool.
Ive seen people sell wheels only on there but its mostly well preserved older cars with low miles

How is your car so low and you have no problem with fenders rubbing/cutting into the tires?
