IS THERE A WAY OT TELL IF A CAR IS AN "R" BY THE VIN.....THERE IS A CAR OUT THERE THAT THE OWNER IS SELLING CHEAP AND I THINK IT IS AN "R" BUT DON'T THE DEALER TO KNOW THAT DUE TO PRICE.

You can also call Mazda with the Vin number to verify it's an R.Quote:
R Package (New Mid-year intro): Sport suspension with Bilstein shock absorbers, rear spoiler, front air dam, rear skirt, aluminum alloy wheels and Torsen limited-slip differential (not available with automatic or other option packages).
800-222-5500, Option 4.Quote:

How cheap is cheap?
if it it is one of those tote the note lots, i would highly recommend you taking it to a mechanic that you trust and see if it has been wrecked or anything. i have seen cars that have been poorly rewelded and dont feel them to be safe.
good luck.
It is a somewhat shady lot however this is his personal car. It is a 97' Dark Blue (factory), 94k, leather, and power goodies w/ HDHCDD, and fresh top for 4900.00.....sounds ok...I think. What do you guys think.Quote:

Thx for any input or help.
p.s not an "r" just spoiler and wheels.........
What's Carfax say??
I have not pulled it yet, but he was the only owner and has access to body shops, so even if it was in a fender bender is was probably fixed off record. Aside from that I am used to looking @ pieced together cars. As you might have read or seen, I have a Mustang.....once again...nuff said.Quote:

It's pretty easy to tell if it's had bodywork, all the major panels have a VIN sticker on them from Japan! 8)
Send a PM to TroyAndEddie on the forum. He has CarFax for a month. 8)Quote:
