Not to mention that a car that is 7 years old has the mileage of a car that is 1 year old. Wild.


OMG What was I reading. I read it has 119k miles on it. :eek: That's the warranty for the motor. Ok so price is fair I take it back.

I didn't realize replacement engine warranties were 105k miles. That's a rather odd number.

Even if it's 14k miles, still too high.

I had a hunch you read it incorrectly with the high-mileage comments LOL.

With the little I know about 04s and their reliability, I would agree with you Tim. However, assuming a new engine would solve some of the problems, and if other reliability issues were resolved, I'd say this is a decent price. Not an outstanding price, but much better than what they did cost new.

The engines are identical in first series RX-8's, the issue was the tune Mazda released on the 04's that controlled OMP oiling, AFRs, timing, etc. So when they replace the motor they put the new flash on the PCM so it's all good.
