How much would you pay?
I'm looking at a 93 R1 in denver, the car is sweet inside and out almost perfect except for the engine that has no compression.
My question to all of you is "how much would you pay for a sweet FD with a blown engine? I'm trying to get the car for $5000 bucks but the kid thinks the car is worth $14,000. what do you think?

Keep in mind, that there may be other things that need to go along with that blown engine. A typical reman runs about $2100. If the turbos or old or damaged, then you are looking around $1000 for a decent rebuild. Miscellaneous parts that you should replace at engine install time will also add up depending what else is on the car. It could possibly cost another $3-5k to get it on the road (which at $9-10k puts it just about right around the normal $14-15k for a running FD).

Well I have a quick update about the car, It's a Green 94 R2 with 57,000 miles. The motor and turbos are blown. The car has a cat back, intake and underdrive pullys, I made an offer the the kids parients for $7,500 cash. I think they went to mazda and got a huge quote for a new engine and turbos with all the labor. I'm going to here back tonight.

the real question is if it is a real R2. Ive guessing that it is not a real R2, and that it is a base model montego blue meant to look like an R2.
