@suspenceful garage looks familiar lol

Gotta love the combination of pictures from all sorts of stages and dates. Even used 3 of the pictures I took before I sold this car like a year ago

First one is also (still very rusty)

Maybe im getting old, but does the plate N54VAGE mean savage? That is so cringe worthy in my eyes.

I think they messed up and added an E?
N54 VAG seems about right?

combo of N54 and SAVAGE, the 5 being an S the 4 being an A.

I cant wait till my day of owning an N54 comes by. We are getting closer.

probably not the best for sound, and no smart tv crap if you're into that, but the price is hilariously small for a 65" 4k TV

Mods please delete as this post is off topic.

In all seriousness, this is really cheap. I am looking at getting a new TV this year, likely during or after the holidays. Would be interested to see the picture quality in person. Cheap TVs haven’t done me wrong yet.

Reviews are hit or miss, looks like some screen edge bleeding. Would make for an awesome shop tv. But if you wanted a better picture might be worth spending another hundred or two for a better display.

Alot of off-brand TVs are actually made by name brand company's like Panasonic, Sony etc.

So dont let the name steer you away. See who the parent company is before you buy!

Or at least the panel is made by LG or other name brand.

Curious what that might end up going for, price-wise. Might be a semi-affordable way into an M3.

On the other hand, I wonder what might be lurking under that fresh white paint. That steering rack looks corrody...

[straight6pwr]

is it me, or does that new white paint look pretty flat? still needs wetsanding/finishing?

[RobZR]

imola e34?  just needs a set of M-parallels and a razor blade.

Yeah that steering rack/front subframe look pretty crusty... I wonder if there is any documentation of the body work. If I had to guess on price I would guess maybe somewhere around 15k if it doesn't come with an engine/trans and the bodywork was done reasonably well.

Paint looks damn good. IDK what @straight6pwr is talking about. I would be curious to what underneath.  What I don't see is an S14 anywhere in that storage unit. I guess for $1 a lack of a drivetrain, and some assembly required, it is a fair price.

I posted this same car with Mpars and no stickers that is a lot closer just a few days ago!

Seems like he at least has a good sense of humor, BUT it still ANNOYS me when people cant put an asking price. 

And damn it, I just realized he said he would drop it off.
