Actually, it is a question of business. If you have something I want, and me something you want, I'm going to try and get what I want with as little of a loss as possible to me.
Sorry. I have integrity when dealing with friends and nice people. Business is a separate matter. It is only logical.
And pay $3000 for a new engine not including labor?
That's a very nice thing to do, but when it's business, I'm not nice. I honestly have better things to do than be out of a daily driver AND $3000.

Engine Problems, HELP! (simulation)
Q: Hey guys, I just bought this Rx8 with just under 50k miles and I was wondering if you could help me figure out what's wrong. By the way I'm new here. The problem is there's this sound coming from the engine, it sounds kinda like.... marbles in a can.
Where should I start?
A: Take it to the dealership and see if they can help you out.
Q: S***, the dealership says the engine's toast and since the previous owner did his own "maintenance" and never kept records of his oil changes, they say I have to pay for a new engine. I can't believe I bought this piece of crap, I hate rotary engines and I hate Mazda! F*** the RX8
A: Dude that sucks, I hope they help you out with a loaner while your engine's getting replaced.
I just hope the poor sap that ends up with your abused 8 gets a decent warranty!

I'm not a complete moron. I'm just an *******.
I'm sure that you're the type who completely restores a car with completely brand new parts before trading them in. I mean, it's only right!

i feel sorry for the next owner of the rx8, if you were able to kill a rotary with 50k on the clock i fear for the MS6. And you sound like the type that would sell their own grandma for "business".

I think it's a bit selfish, someone will be looking for an 8 and buy your old one. Within a few months the engine will go and they'll be just like the other 8 owners that have had a bad experience with their 8. Granted there's a 100,000 mile warranty it does put a sour taste in the new owner's mouth, am I wrong?

He also says "All the recalls have been done on it. I am also very **** when it comes to maintenance, so you can be sure that the car has been treated with the best of the best. I don't skimp on maintenance, period. Mechanically, the car is flawless."
What a nice guy
. Sorry if the threads to old, but 6 days shouldnt be an issue.

Oh man you bought my buddies MS-6 that he traded in!
He drove the living **** out of that thing but nobody ever told him to let the turbo cool off a few before parking it. Pretty sure the turbo is about to loose a seal and he just had our mechanic buddy of ours "tweak" the tranny as that was slipping before he traded it in. He had to get out from under it quick. Mechanic said the tranny should be good for a couple months if you take it easy though.

So much I could say, but I won’t waste my time since you won’t listen anyway.
BTW, nice choice on the new car. In a perfect world this would be true, and you would have no room to even complain.
