You're shedding at least 5-10 lb by ditching an ugly trunk ornament... how's that?

 

Threads like this are depressing.

You all know the new owner will be on here looking for the solutions of this so called engine failure asking the same questions that have been answered over and over.

from everyone here ----- Thank You for pushing your problem aside for us to possibly help solve in the future for the new owner.

This is a question of integrity, not business.

 

You do know that is works out better for the dealership to get it done under warranty right? they get paid on the spot by mazda and can take their time. so its a win win for the owner and dealership, maybe not mazda though lol

 

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.

 

nice looking 6 congrats

 

i like the first post and totally agree..... and congrats bro! But if you have never been in an S2k... it honestly as good as the 8 in comfortability... But congrats bro... dont be a stranger and good luck.

 

Aww yes can't go wrong with a speed6, nice pickup

 

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!

 

You sound like the kind of person who would do a hit and run because it would save you money.

 

but dude I was drunk! i didn't want a dui!

 

See son, if there was no consequence to a hit and run, I'd have done it. But there ARE consequences. Especially if found out.

I'm not a complete moron. I'm just an *******.

Yeah, I hope so too.

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!

 

least you admit it

 

gl with the mazda6...

 

well, i guess its done and over with.. at this point with all that was said, i hope that the new owner is aware of the vehicle's condition.

 

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".

 

Troof

 

lack of power at 47000 miles? No compression check done? Could be nothing more than plugs and coils.

 

Worse than that I was even considering buying his car as he posted it on these forums 2 days before he posted this.. lol

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.

 

very nice! i do very much like a mazdaspeed6! very cool!

 

we should just bid the retarded OP adieu.

 

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.

 

I hope you are learning something in College. If not, the real world is going to be a rude awakening. Either you are just acting like a fool in this post or you really need to pay attention in school. I hope it is the former rather than the later.

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.
LMAO! Bet you never even considered this. I'm sure you think this sort of stuff only happens to "other" people.

 

OP puts a bad name to the asian community, the poor community, the college community, and the RX-8 community.

That being said, best of luck in school.

 

ITs funny that this guy said he has no money for new engine, but instead he sold his 8, which doesnt worth to much to begin with, then he went and buy another car.

Poor college student ... yeah right.
