Used 2004 RX-8 GT with no owners manual???
Ok so I recently purchased a used RX-8 GT and drove it home only to find out it didn't come with a owners manual and now I can't set a damned thing in the car. Of course, I called the dealership and they say that most of the used cars don't come with a manual, and I'd have to buy on for 40 bucks. It's down right disgusting, paying over 20,000 for a car and can't get a owners manual for free....anyone know where I can get a PDF format or other substantially formatted file?

same thing happened to me. I bought the car and then didn't think to check for the owner's manual until a day later and there was none. I have the PDF file but its a pain in the **** not having an actual manual in the car.

There is a manual for free to download on mazda canada you don't even have to register. A few things will be different though, but they are minor.
I can't link to it because it's a flash site but go to mazda.ca then select english then in the top info bar select parts and service then underneath it go to owner's lounge then under that it'll say owners manual. All Mazda's covered 2008-2002.

When I bought my RX-8 last year, it was the first used car I ever bought that had the manual with it... I've always gone to forums for my previous for dilemmas ('93 MX-6 V6, '01 Wolfsburg Jetta)

Its easy to download the PDF for your year of Mazda from http://www.mazda.ca/ (English, Parts and Service section).
Then you just find some place to print the PDF.

As a matter of fact, your Russian link is just a rip from my site, anyway.

What a stupid fu-king comment. Just so I have it straight, Mazda is supposed to stock extra manuals for old models and give them out for free whenever someone wants one because a prior owner was such an a-hole that they stole it? Gimme a break. I think there are a lot of valid complaints about service issues that hurt Mazda in the consumer satisfaction survey, but I can't see this being one of them, especially when they make the pdf version available for FREE!!!
