i possibly might get this car, yet i still dont know what to offer him,

its a 1993 r1, blown engine, interior is nice, exterior is good (minor ding below mirror), and the chassis has 89,000 miles on it. throw up your thoughts i should offer him, i was thinking 8k ????

 

Obviously the lower the better for you but I would not pay more than $9K.
Figure out the minimum for a remanufactured engine plus labor $2.5K to $3.5K
The R1 is very becoming more rare every day, so factor that in.
I paid $14K for my R1 in great conditions, runing engine with 61K, new tires and battery and that was 1999.
So factor in a few more years of depreciation, no runing engine, add to that the car is rare and the popularity of the Fast & Furious.
Good luck

 

thats what i told him, 9k was the highest i would go. . even though i would love to have an r1, I've got a limit to what i can spend.

 

Tell him to read and post here and see what offers he get.
Not more that $9K for sure.
Ask him if he were to fix the engine to stock spec what would he sell the car for then????
