I'm tracking a few cars on Ebay between '04 and '06 with mileage between 60 and 90k. I will be a first time Mazda owner. Based on my readings of online forums, I'm concerned about previous owner engine care, specifically warming up before use and routine oil changes. I've pulled Carfaxes on each of the cars by VIN and don't see any service records, thus concluding that Mazda dealers do not report. What measures can I take to protect myself, and what should I look out for, keeping in mind that buying auction Ebay limits my ability to pre-inspect the vehicle? Also, I read that Mazda warranties the motor up to 100k miles regardless of ownership, true? Thanks --RX8newb.

I wouldn't buy any car on ebay let alone an rx8. If you cannot inspect a car before you buy it you can and most likely will end up getting something you didn't want.

Buy something that you could see and test drive, good luck with your search.

I bought my '04 used at 128k milleage. I had to change the battery and this sensor. Other than that it's pretty damn sweet c: I guess I'll just make sure I take care of it henceforth.
