Series II Engine Core Warranty Length
I've been searching for the right RX8 for a few months now. I've focused on '09s due to the Series II mechanical improvements. I've called Mazda North America and run three VINs (2 R3s, 1 sport) for warranty expiration date, recalls, etc, and in all three cases they indicated that the cars did not have the 8 year / 100,000 mile engine core warranty.
I thought all RX8's got that warranty, and there are words to that effect on the Mazda website, but the Mazda rep was pretty emphatic in all three of these cases that they only had the 5 year / 60,000 mile warranty.
Does anyone have documentation or first hand experience with the Series II engine core warranty? I am leaning more toward a late Series I car now since they still have time on the clock for the warranty and are easier to find.
Thanks,
Andrew
