Hey guys, I did a quick search, but didn't come across anything, I'm sure it's out there, but it didn't make itself obvious.

Anyways, I have the 60,000 mile warranty and am no were near that being up (at 23k right now) but how much does the 100,000 mile extended warranty cost? Because I am worried about the motor going at 70,000 or something as many people's on the forums have.

I have a 2006 GT and don't have performance upgrades or anything... yet.

Any advice or pricing info?

the 100k mile warrant on the engine core is absolutely free! thats the core ONLY, if you engine dies, its covered by mazda completely

by the core only, you mean just like the rotor and the housing and all that. As compared to pretty much all engine parts with the regular warranty?

dozer

iTrader: (3)

yes...strictly the engine, imagine the rotors and housing by its self, thats covered by mazda up to 100k miles, everything else is in the drivetrain warranty

do you know what the price range is for the extended by any chance?

dozer

core warranty was already issued, all rx8s have the core warranty for FREE up to 100k miles...if you want an extended drive train warranty it will cost you roughly 2k....that means alternators, waterpumps and what not...your engine core (rotors and housing) is already covered for free by mazda up to 100k miles

Right, the 2k part answers my question.

Now I guess I'd ask do you think it's worth the 2k? I'll probably drive the car until it dies. Because I'd take it to college with me and stuff, plus. I love it more than life. I guess I kinda answered my own question...

i say you go out and hangout with your fellow rotorheads, if they know their stuff and know how to work on a car, itll probably be cheaper to have then help you install parts if anything were to go wrong, or maybe a reputable shop that know what they are doing...if not then yeah its worth it, who know what might go wrong

Dozer your so smart. LOL. I was also wandering about this actually. Don't they also tow for free if it dies. And have u heard of them replacing the tails after warranty for free? I have but when mine got moisture in them. And of course they said NOPE

dozer

iTrader: (3)

yeah mazda tows for free if your car goes out...i think the number is in the owners manual...moisture in the tail light is easily fixed, ill tell you about it if you end up going to the cruise

blamerobb

Cool man I'm stoked for the cruise. But I don't know anyone ! Haha. Or anyones real name. Just by there club name and avatar

is the 100k core warranty a 5 yr/100k that expires when whatever comes first? or is it more like 10 yr or just 100k no matter what? does the core warranty apply to all years or RX-8's?

dozer

iTrader: (3)

8yr\100k what ever comes first, and it applies to all 8s made before 09

yes dozer is right. 100k/8yr from mazda. anything else i in PTW witch the dealer offers not mazda.

JOLIET WANKEL

i'm guessing the 8yr/100k warranty doesn't cover apex seals?
