What do you think??

Hello everyone,
through out last month my engine got burned due to a crack in the radiator it had 70,000 miles, i had to change the engine, got a used one with 39,000 miles on it, get a new radiator, my question is do you think i should keep the car with me or should i sell it and start looking for a new one , i am an owner of 2004 rx8 manual...
or should i start looking for an extended warranty online, and do you think that it would cover my car that i have a used engine on it with a different millage meter on it??
please help me out guys i really need the help...

Why didn't you just take it to mazda the first time it burnt out? You do know that we have a 100,000 mile warranty on our cars right?

I did but they said that it's not covered due to deficiency in my maintenance records and they declined it...
What do you think i should do sell the car or keep and start looking for an extended warranty?

Go for a compression test or try getting a used R3 like some of the guys did.
