'93 R-1 for sale, is it a good deal?
 

I was wondering if this R-1 for sale is a good deal,

1993 R-1 black
22,000 original miles
completely stock, no mods

Selling price, $19,000

Too high? think it's worth buying?

YES. Get a compression check though... But I'd take that in a heartbeat!

I would make sure to check it over good but with only 22k original I would go for it.

jump on that....get the comp test just to make sure tho.

22k miles on it... Wow... for $19K that is a very good price for that. But like it has been said already get the compression checked out and test drive it. Its an R-1 too!!! If everything checks out go for it!!!

Wow! If the turbos have good boost and the compression is where it needs to be it is a steal at that price!

Isn't it amazing how everyone gives the same answer? "Hell yes ... compression check." This happens on so many threads.

Its a very good deal...
 

Make sure you test drive the FD hard....and have it warm up also so that you can see how it runs after it warms up..This was a big mistake when I first bought my FD...I drove the dam thing around the corner and I wanted the car so badly...I didn't pay attention that much....and it bit me in the behind...I've paid like $6k in repairs now just to get it running right....Man with that money...my car would have been in the 10's by now...Becareful and goodluck.

Thanks for the replies guys. I will take your advice on it.

This forum is really great. I guess it shows that people really do love their 7's!!

Don't forget to run a Carfax on the vin JUST in case.
;)

Yeah run a carfax. I found a 94 touring with 69k on the odometer. Carfax pulled up a registration in Georgia with an odometer reading of 78k. Guy ran back the odometer or swapped it out. I told him odometer fraud was a crime and he hung up.

make sure the car has a clean title

Make sure all the recalls were done too. Just call Mazda with the VIN. '93 had a few issues since it was the first year. Also, on the test drive check for 5th gear synchro grinding. When I bought mine, I was not up on all the issues and did not notice that. It cost me $1000 to fix. The clutch was also notorious for wearing quickly that first year.
