Scheduled maintenance costs?
I was wondering how much you guys have paid for scheduled maintenance, what all is included at each interval, and at what kind of intervals do you have to go in for it? I know some cars have to go in for valve adjustments every 30k and timing belts every 80-100k but since the renesis doesnt have any of that what the heck do you take your cars to the dealership for!? 
Just wondering how scheduled maintenance costs for the rx8 stack up against other cars.

do they list scheduled maintenance in your owners manual? if so, what kind of stuff do they recommend you doing/having a dealership do, and how often? (aside from oil changes 
)

Eh. Everybody's using Schedule 2, I thought. 5k milles or 4 months, whichever comes first. That is an oil/filter change and to lubricate the locks 'n' hinges.
So far, my scheduled maintenance (and unscheduled maintenance) has cost me a total of $0.00 (Pre-order goodness) [rub-rub]

duh,
buy a jack and some jackstands. i have 23k miles on mine and it has been to the dealer for recalls.
this is the lowest maintince car in the world. i change the oil and filter at 5k miles rotate the tires and make sure the brakes arent dicked up.
at 15kmiles i put in a green air filter.
all is good.
beers
