How long/How many miles can i expect my 07 RX8 to last?

How long can i plan on keeping my rx8, given regular oil changes and maintenance? I heard about 100k. Is that true, or can i expect to keep my rx8 a long time?

It stops working on Dec. 31, 1999. Oh, crap it passed. OK, how about when global warming becomes global cooling that's when it will end.

The average lifespan of is in the 750,000 to 1,000,000 range. You'll be in your grave well before then.

That is all dependent on the color of the car. Diamond are forever.

Nostradamus predictions 2012^
Predicted the world would be over taken by robots that run on Wankel engine. The robots become distraught when some say synthetic can be used along with premix and others say only 5w-20 dino because that is what the inventor instructed them to use. So they end up destroying the world in 2012 over this profound debate.

No not Nostradamus...the Mayans. The Mayan calendar ends at 12-21-2012. Also on that day the Sun will be directly lined up in the center of the Milky Way, kinda cool.

It's kind of hard to give a prediction about that. That's like asking, how long do you think I'll live? Assuming regular diet, bowel movements, and maintenance.

I think it should be expected of any modern car to make it past 100,000 miles nowadays. I'm expecting to keep mine until the Obama administration takes it away in order to kill senior citizens with.

If the RX-8 is properly maintained can go over 100K
