'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?

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!!!

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.

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 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.
