is the dealer lying to me?
i bought my 8 used about 2 weeks ago and i already had service done to it. anyway, my dealer said that my warranty will expire this november. it is an 04 purchased on nov. 8th 2003. isn't the standard warranty 4 years, 50k miles? he told me that it is 3yrs 50k miles. what do you think? i thought i would expire nov of 07.

As to the question in your title line. Are his lips moving? If so, then the answer is yes.

Dealers are the scum of the earth.

Salespeople are just trying to make a living, though, so I especially feel for the ones who work under slimeball sales managers.

How many miles does it have? I WISH mine would last till next year, but I just had my 45k service done and will probably hit 50k in the next three months, so bye-bye warranty.

Why doesn't anyone like dealerships? Every place I went to a nice man with a forked tongue told me they would be "giving this car away today" . . .

If the dealer's lips are moving, he is lying.

warranty
yes the warranty from the factory is 4/50. i did get the 6yr 100k warranty, i had to pay a whopping $2200 for it and a $499 one time fee for unlimited oil changes for life of the car. i didnt want something to happen like what happened to my 01 330i. After having it for two weeks the presume place had a malfunction which caused the clutch to do out, and since it was within the 30 day period here in WA, the dealer is responsible. they didnt want to pay for it. So yeah, hello RX-8!
