Hey, i've just purchased a brand new 2008 RX8 today but the dealership denied the 8 years 100,000 miles. He suggest that only the used certified RX8's have that warranty. So do all 2004-2008 rx8 models, used or new, have the warranty? Am I going to get a notification regarding the extended warranty soon? Thank you!!

New free engine going in this week thanks to warranty extension, car mileage at 50,682. Awesome.
They wouldn't get me a loaner though, and I don't care, I'm getting a brand new engine!

I live in Texas, and I just don't care about the loaner car as the 8 is not my only vehicle.
My place of employment is literally a 15 minute walk next to a golf course, downhill. I actually could use the extra exercise and the car will only be out for a week anyway, of which I have 2 days off. I will only walk to work twice more this week.
2 of my coworkers actually stopped and asked me if I wanted a ride the rest of the way, I told them I was fine.

Speaking of reimbursements, I just got an unsolicited check from my Dealer for the $47.70 they charged me for the MSP16 reflash. Under notes the check says, "REFUND FOR REPROGRAMMING PCM. COVERED BY MAZDA RECALL".
Now, what are the chances that I will get an apology from Zoom44 and Go48? I'd say zero.

I know, I know. I should never have caved to the shouts of the loud and ignorant. Still, it was freaking amazing to have gotten my money back without even having to ask for it 
. Unlike pretty much everybody else on this board, I really like my dealer. The service guy is really nice; always remembers my name, and they do a good job fixing my car when I take it in, which isn't too often because I do the bulk of the maintenance myself.

Invasion is waiting for reimbursement for previously made repairs. I am still waiting for the paperwork. I e-mailed MNAO to find out somewhere in the past 18 months they reverted to the address I had when I bought the car. I have no idea why, but they promised to resend the package to my new address. That was about two weeks ago. I don't think that I am getting it.

Good news: My new Engine is done.. Bad News: I need a clutch master cylinder
The story:
Took to one dealership for recall service bulletins.
Incompetent, performed 1 of 5 eligible bulletins, changed spark plugs to ( wrong type) new.
Took to 2nd dealership, who, over 2 visits and 2 weeks performed remaining bulletins, including vacuum and compression check, decarbonization.
They told me compression is down, need new engine.
After 3 weeks new engine is installed.
No loaner offered, and when I asked was told not included/available.
Interestingly found the first dealer did change plugs.
With the Wrong ones.
And, get this: They installed a leading plug in one of the trailing plug locations!
Now they tell me my clutch master cylinder is shot.
$500 estimate for the part..
Anyone got a part # for an RX-8 master cylinder?
