i was wondering why we do not have a RX8 chat room?

 

i have a 2004 rx8 6speed manual transmission with the rotary engine. For some reason it will not turn over and I have it at the dealership they are trying to fix it but i don't know if they will be able to. I still owe money on the car and I might have to sell it for parts or to someone who is looking for a rebuild. Is that at all possible?

 

We have a winner! Ten year old thread resurrection.

Anything is possible. Parting out the car could bring you more money than selling a car with a busted engine. But part outs are long, hard work, and shipping the bigger parts is a pain.

If the engine is toast, the dealer will tell you. They should do a compression test. You will have six numbers and an rpm value. Don't settle for "good" or "bad". Ask for the numbers. A Mazda rebuilt engine will cost several thousand dollars. There are cheaper options on the market, there were some people who had bad luck with Mazda motors.

If that was to me then what Can I do
