its an extended warranty that even covers the engine too... anyone use this ... just incase the engine goes after a 100k and mazda warranty is gone... the engine can still be covered

heres the site

Do you really believe they will replace a Rotary with over 100K miles on it?? The fine print will have something they will use to get out of that. Google usfidelis for more history about them. Instead of an warranty put the money in the bank in case you need it.

 

he meant bank

 

a company like fidelis call me up and ask them about the warranty and as soon they find out it was a rx8 they said it could'nt be covered because it was a high performance car...imagine that!

 

i called out of curiousity they said it would be fine

 

Personally I'm sure they would try to find someway around it.....how would the company make any money for warrantying someting like an engine over 100k miles....will they cover it with a turbo or S/C? then it might b someting ot think about

 

it's your money, if you want to waste it on a company with a questionable background don't be upset when you get screwed. Terms from them are hard to find, but http://www.usfidelis.com/coverages_gold.html listed some simple ways they can deny your claim. Remember that Non Mazda people will be the ones to decide if a claim will be covered.
List of Coverages: For vehicles with rotary engines the following is covered: rotary chamber; main bearing; rotor; and the parts listed above.

What about Apex seals, Carbon build up issues? The majority of RX-8 engine replacements were done to cars that were running. Will this company replace a engine that runs, but has poor performance?

Exclusions:
E:For any repair or replacement of any covered part if a Breakdown has not occurred or if the wear on that part has not exceeded the field tolerances allowed by the manufacturer.

Wonder what that number is?
F:
If any alterations have been made to Your Vehicle or You are using or have used Your Vehicle in a manner not recommended by the manufacturer, including but not limited to: the failure of any custom or add-on part, all frame or suspension modifications, lift kits, any tire that is not recommended by the original manufacturer if it creates an odometer/speedometer variance of greater than 4%, trailer hitches. Also not covered are any emissions and/or exhaust systems modifications, engine modifications, transmission modifications, and/or drive axle modifications, which includes any performance modifications.

No mods for you.
K:
For any Pre-existing condition or for any Breakdown occurring before Coverage takes effect or prior to the Contract purchase date, or if the information provided by You, or the repair facility cannot be verified as accurate or is found to be deceptively inaccurate.
Can you prove your Apex seals are ok or don't have carbon buildup?
M:
For diagnostic and/or teardown procedures that are not listed, or are in excess of the times listed in the current year’s national flat rate hourly guide in conjunction with a covered repair.

They are not going to pay to prove the claim should be covered.
