I HAD TWO RX8s in IN FIVE DAYS
After countless hours at the dealership I took my baby home saturday night. Monday morning i start her up and the check engine light came on. I took it to the dealership tuesday and they said the two of the spark plugs were bad, they replaced them and everything was just fine. I took her home and no problems. That night i started her up again and there it was again the beautiful check engine light came right back on. Needless to say i was pissed off.... i went to the same service writer first thing in the morning. After about two hours of waiting the head of service broke the news that the entire engine needed to replaced due to a leak in the second rotor. In the end they sent me the same exact car i couple of days later with deep regrets...
Has anyone heard a similar story...... |
Sorry to hear, are they telling you 2 weeks for a replacement motor or what?
There's been other threads on this. Try to do a search. Again sorry |
yeah they told me that it would be a couple of weeks to have the engine replaced but i was not having that...... i wanted a new car..i only had the car 3 days.... thanks for the reply by the way where did you find your car cover and how $$$
thanks again..... |
You legally have 5 days to return a car you purchased (from what I've been told).... Can anyone else verify this?

You got a lemon i guess :/
|
It depends what state you live in, Florida has no return policy unless the dealer advertises it, such as Rick Case, who sucks anyway! Jeff: out of curiosity, where did you buy your car?
|
Jeff: call the State Attorney Generals office, tell them you just bought it and haven't been able to drive it yet, tell them after buying ,you have no car in which to drive and you want your money back or for them to give you another new car! That really sucks. Any reputable business would not put someone through that. Call the owner or General Manager of the dealership as well. a lot of times they have no idea whats going on when someone screws up!
|
Damn, that's the pits. I wish I could offer some constructive help, other than: stand your ground!
|
I thought he said that he DID get another car? Which is what any goo dealer should do I would hope.

Jeff, I am glad Gunther came through for you.. I too purchased from Gunther and have been happy w/ their service. It is nice to hear that they stood behind their product. I hope your new one is doing great. I now have 3700K on mine. Love it!! Best wishes in 2004.

Oh boy...here we go....
|
Seks, please hang out in the honda forums. there are plenty of people there who will gladly share your point of view. It is not constructive here. thank you.
|
Yeah...a girl's car that would whoop an 8's ass anytime and anywhere... |
Originally posted by KTM-316 umm... anytime? anywhere? I think your wrong. I've beaten a guy with a "s2000" and started talking crap, so I beat him again.:eek: Stop dreaming and wake up :o then again, in reality, you probably encountered a not-too-great driver... |
Seks do you really have nothing better to do that hang around in this Mazda(can you read) Mazda forum......do us all a favor and go learn about your 1990 Honda Civic in the Honda forums...

The S2k is a fine car... So is the RX-8. They are different if you want to I will be happy to cream you with my '91 575hp MR2. Oh wait I sold it after getting pulled over while racing a Mustang 5.0 supercharged and winning. The ticket was for 120+ mph since the officer couldn't get up to my speed to pace me. In fact the only reason he caught me was that I didn't know he was there and got off the 101 in Newbury Park, CA. after winning. He and I both knew I was going in excess of 160 mph but he couldn't prove it... There is always a faster car and a better driver out there. I wonder if you could handle the stress of driving above 120 mph for long enough to beat a good driver. It doesn't really matter though you should just stick to talking about the RX-8 on this forum though and jump over to the Honda forum to do all of your blasting... Talk is cheap.
|
I own two Honda's, and I have owned two RX-7's. When all is said and done, a Honda is just a Honda, and well an RX-8, oh mama! Now that is a car that gets the heart going.
|
are there a lot of people on here often that talk sh!t a lot about a car they don't own...and obviously want one b/c they hang out in this forum? i was just wondering, i have been seeign that a lot. NOt really sure what kinda' thrill they get out of that....but i guess to each his own
|
Jeff, I too go to UCF. If you've seen a winning blue around since early fall, that's me... And I grew up in s. florida (in weston for about 10 years) too. We should chill or something...
|
Also, what color 8 do you have?
I'm glad you liked Gunther...from my personal experiences, they stink. Kinda got screwed by them...I go to marlin mazda on 441...great ppl. Anyways, when you get the car, you thinkin of doin any mods? |
