I am thinking about buying an 2004 manual rx-8. I live in So-Cal.

I was wondering if anyone knew if mazda dealership would cover a checkup. Like under the warranty.

I want the rx8, since its used, to get a thorough check up. Like any recalls that the previous owned didn't take the car in for.

Or if not covered by warranty does anyone know how much a full checkup would cost? I would like to know what would need replacing and fixing or what will need replacing in the near future.

On the subject of maintenance, how reliable are the rx8's ? specifically the 2004.
Any day to day problems i should be worried about or keep an eye out for?

Thanks for any help!

 

there are plenty of SOCAL members on the boards, i would recommend heading over to the SOCAL Lounge in the regional forum and ask them for a good dealership
