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?

 

Can't answer the PDF question, but what are you trying to set?

hope the rest of the car pans out better than this. this is a fun car.

 

You can get the PDF @ Mazdausa.com....Just register your RX8 using the "owners" section located on the top of the page

 

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.

 

Yuo could print it out

 

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.

 

lol, dont confuse me with easy and obvious solutions

 

Hey, at least with no manual you have an excuse if someone yells at you, "READ THE F'ING MANUAL, NOOB!"

:D

 

Thats why mazda is ranked so low in customer service...

 

AND, factual info to back up the opinion ... YUP, pretty damn low!

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 pretty easy to find on the internet; but interesting enough, when I bought my '04 6MT GT, I received no manual.

 

This was good advice.

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.

 

Of course, its on my site like everything else...

 

Thanks a lot fellas, I went to the canada site and pulled it off there. Ok, anyone got a used printer they want to sell me??



Just kidding. Time to go set the clock!

 

oh man.. i do believe in my house we have about 4 or 5 extra printers laying about. they were all special deals when buying a computer to get it free. and i need a new one, as my current printer/scanner does not work with vista.

i hate vista... -_-

 

Well hey I've still got XP, send one over this way.

 

Catch from russian friends!It`s much better than owner`s manual...It`s a dealer`s manual...

As noted above, its on my site. Been there for 3 years.
As a matter of fact, your Russian link is just a rip from my site, anyway.

 

Most definitely man, this is quite a find!

 

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!!!

 

Maybe.

 

Well how are you going to sell a car for $25,000 and not tell the new owner it doesn't come with a manual? How the hell are they supposed to be able to set anything, or figure out what fuse does what and everything else? Oh, and you may not know, but not everyone in the world has the internet and can just go download one. I think you're the one with the "stupid fu-king comment".

 

Wow, you guys are Sofa King quick to bash each other!
