If you need a new motor because of the latest recall (anticipated recall), would you rather have a remanufactured motor or have Mazda buy your car back?

 

for all the money/time ive put into my car, probably not.

I have a few mods with a few more on the way. SuperCAT, strakes, tips, clear corners, mazdaspeed full suspension, and tower braces....

never really had any problems with the car, i just keep waiting for a good SC/Turbo kit to come out so i can get my *** to 300whp+

 

no

 

yes. I'd want a buyback and then I'll wait a few months and get a good deal on a '06.

 

...why would Mazda buy RX-8s back

 

Yes, why would they buy it back? And why would I want them to?? My car has been a delight—and trouble-free. Mazda replaced the engine on my '99 10th Anniversary Edition Miata and I never for a moment thought they should offer to buy it back. After the engine swap it was as good as new. Hey, I've owned a VW Rabbit, a Honda Accord, a Fiat X1-9, three different Miatas and a VW GTI—and the 8 is my favorite car!

If the 8 was a lemon of a car plagued by problem after problem it would be good of Mazda to offer a buyback. But it's not.

 

negative ghostrider (the pattern is full)

 

A definitive NO. My car is new,, 6700 miles on it and what they would pay to buy it back would not cover the price I am paying for it. It would not be a sound business deal.
I LOVE THIS CAR AND SO DOES MY WIFE.

 

i would only let them put in a new motor i would not allow a remanufactured motor.

 

If you fail the vacuum test I believe the only choice is a remanufactured motor. I don't think there will be an option for either a new motor or a buy-back.

Unless I am missing something.

 

trust me if my car that has under 1k miles needs a new motor it will be new....... i have great lawyers that sit on there *** all day that would love to wast mazdas time and money lol

 

New/reman engine.

I spent a long time deciding on this car. Only had it a little over a month, and am enjoying it immensely. There just isn't anything else I'd want.

Won't deny that option. America is the land of the free ... anyone can sue anyone else for whatever they want whenever they want to.

Based on the nature of the problem, it sounds unlikely that a car with only 1,000 miles on it will fail the engine tests.

 

yea i really dont think there will be a problem at all.....after i break this thing in then the problems might happen.

 

Does this "engine test" apply to cars in which the warranty has run out, and have over 75k miles?

 

sorry for double post.... didn't realize the 1st one went through

 

You know, this poll is really, if you think about it, rather unfair. I mean honestly, how many owners of any used car, given a choice between a new engine and a buyback, would choose the new engine?? Do you work for the Republican party?

 

If the price was attractive, I'd take a buyback and start looking for a G35S or 350Z because I'm not convinced a new motor and flash will solve the problem.

 

you guys see the new bmw 335 with twin turbo, that would be a nice replacement for the guys that only own one car.

 

I think we all know where I voted...

 

yes

 

buy back/s2000 or gxp solstice

 

What problem?

 

That's my big fear, too.

In fact, I'm not confident that anything they do will resolve the issue.

Some may say "just wait and see," but having a remanufactured motor carries a certain stigma with it apart from the lingering questions of reliability.
