    Should have said something last week. There was a clean looking black-on-black TI in La Crosse. Already gone...

    No BMW's.  I don't want to deal with her racking up miles on a BMW and there is certainly no way I'd have her drive an e36 120 miles every day.  I love BMW's but I don't want to deal with all of the little "quirks" they develop.  I want a mindless ownership experience.

      I won't drive to Chicago for this car, I just can't do it. I did find an 03 accord but the guy told me is got a rebuilt title.  Anyone ever deal with a rebuilt title?

      If you plan on driving it into the ground, rebuilt will be just fine. @REKIII Nailed it. Registering should be the same as any car, just resale is terrible.

        A little more than $4k, but it's along those lines. Haggle. It's been there for 3-4 months.

          That's about $1400 too much.  There are a ton of Fusions for sale for less than $4k though it's just not my first choice.  I like Fusions but i've seen so many rusted out that were less than 10 years old.

              Thanks to @snap I have a new commuter for my wife!  It's a 2000 Toyota Avalon with 103k miles!  To no surprise it was owned by an elderly woman who was awesome.  She's a dancer on the Bucks senior team and told us hilarious stories while we looked at the car.  I ended up getting it for $3500 which was $0 less than they were asking because i'm not shitty and it was already a great deal.

                Does anyone know of a good harness bar that will fit an e36? I want the rear seats to still be usable.

                      It's big, smells like an elderly person, it's boring, turn in is terrible, the exhaust note is almost non existent, it's looks extremely bland and it's slow.  BUT these are all things my wife cares absolutely nothing about so it's a win for me.  In hindsight I should have just bought her the Cayenne Turbo she's always lusted after and had her take the bus from Janesville to Chicago then pick up the next bus to Milwaukee and from there she could pick up another bus to Brookfield.

                              It's a bit buzzy, but I think it will work. Hopefully next weekend I'll have the car together enough to take it for a spin around the neighborhood to see how it sounds under normal driving. I was also happy that the engine actually started and ran fine as it's been sitting for ~2 1/2 years... The car's still a hot mess, but hopefully I'll be able to start getting things put back together and sorted out as the weather starts to get nicer.

                                  The lack of consistent 50+ degree days in the forecast is not conducive to car culture
