R-8 Maintenance Sheet (increase the resale!)

When I bought my rx-8, I was adamant about taking good care of it and having a reliable source of it's maintenance history. I believed that this documentation would help me preform routine work in a timely manner and possibly increase the resale value when I sold the car. Unfortunately, I never got the chance to see if the latter was true.

@ **** blew up on freeway.

I have everything documented in a huge folder. Would be quite a hassle to modernize the documentations since it's about as thick as a textbook .

It's very good for you.

I just made one up on Excel when I was going to sell it.


Only reciepts may help. Then again it may not.

Depends upon how much you want for the car and who buys it.

I use the service history feature (owners section) of the mazdausa.com site. Since I have a computer in my garage I guess is easy to use.

I also use MyMazda USA. It is not perfect, but it is convenient. I also put info on my other car in there too. Since the mileage is way different, I know what car it is.

I think only the true 8 aficionado would get the info beyond oil changes and scheduled servicing sadly.
