Fixed that.

I've been in Milwaukee a long time. There are a lot of good folks living in that part of the city trying to get by. What makes it worse is when businesses pile on in the predation. This one looks to be "Vegas Sales and Rent" and the Google reviews mention rebuilt titles and cars in poor shape. Or maybe it's Global Circle Automotive with the same address and the glowing brief reviews without detail. Either way the wording in the CL ad about being next door to a shop selling used cars needing a lot of repairs, passing this off as a plus for a potential renter, and the pics of the condition of the shop doesn't serve the area well.

I  grew up and lived in Milwaukee most of my life. I love Milwaukee and I have only lived in Madison for 7ish years and I can agree that not all of Milwaukee is bad. But everything from the ad, pictures, and location in that AD scream run away.

That one was a 95? This one is same color but different wheels. All start to blur after a while.

Ehhh, I would want more pictures. Not sure if its worth $5k. But with little work could probably be pretty sweet. Your E36 seems like the better car IMO.

agreed. sounds like he wants to say it's a pile of crap without saying it.

" is sold as is "

" but it is far from being a daily driver "

My question is why he needs to pull and rebuild a 150k mile m50 at all. I’m guessing along with the brakes, the suspension needs some love too, making this quite a pricey proposition to get the car right again.

I also would much rather have your e36.

[Boris3]

This e46 belong to anyone here or someone known?
