I agree with Ron. If you really look at the history of sold cars on BAT, you can find Roadsters that sell for over 30k, which is way over the current market, and you can find them that sell for $12,000. Some of the high-priced ones are not even that nice. BAT can be used for guidance when pricing but look at that price range. You have to toss out the highs and lows and think realistically. BAT is a place for buyers that have a lot of money to spend and no car knowledge.
It comes down to this. If you are looking to buy an early Ford, time is on your side. The values will continue to decline. I'm not suggesting they become so worthless that you can't give them away. Although there are project cars that already fit that description. There is simply no logical sense in buying a project sedan and restoring it when you can buy a really nice one for $10,000.
I have made fair offers on cars for sale and the owners decline. That's fine. There are many more cars out there just like it and I have time to wait for the price to come down because it will.
Finally, remember this if you disagree with everything else, I have said. The best deals are the ones that are not advertised.
