Average cost of ownership per year?
 

Hi!

I've been actively hunting for a new car and the RX-8 has certainly caught my eye, but i'm a little cautious about the rotary engine that mazda uses, as well I've heard it can be an arm and a leg to repair.

My question is how much on average does it cost to maintain an rx-8 per year, with regular maintenance of course. What kind of costs are you looking at to fix the engine seals?

I know this will be anecdotal for the most part, but I'd like to hear your experiences. Thanks.

Closed. Please read this thread (https://www.rx8club.com/new-member-forum-197/new-potential-owners-start-here-202454/), since it clears up some misconceptions you have, as well as having an exact section on what you are asking. Plus other answers to questions you will ask.

Once you get to the point that you have questions that aren't answered there, then start asking more.

We generally don't really like repeating basic info over and over again to new owners, so get the basics under your belt first. :)
