Got a 04 rx8 - almost at 50,000
Hey guys just bought a 2004 RX8 (V Red) with like 49,000 ish on it. After the dealer detailed it for me and washed it one of the taillights fogged up. He offered to fix it for me but id rather just goto a mazda dealership (bought it from an acura dealer). I'm just wondering since my warrenty is almost gone what should else should i have them check. Its so hard not to drive the 8 right now sitting there with 49,650 Haha.

^agreed would have had a better chance of gettin it replaced before purchase but possibly if you go back to where u got it and tell them the prob most places at least have a 30day warranty and something like that they might cover!

Yea i got it at lougheed...
I was buying a RSX Type-S and the next day I went to finish the deal and he showed me this Red 04 RX8 in just perfect condition. Only 49K on it. I have just fallen in love with this car. Never really thought twice about Mazdas till now.
I got loyalty with this dealer so i got like 2k off prety much anything on the lot. The RX8 ran me 20. But the condition is sooooooo mint. except for the taillight lol.
The RSX was gonna run me like 18 and it doesnt even compare in my opinion.

Search for oil topics. This is the question that drives every veteran on here. But to quickly answer, most owners on here prefer to use at least 5W-30 (recommended outside US/Can) and some use synthetic although not recommended by Mazda. Personally, I use Dino, but think synth is okay as long as 100% synth and not Mobil 1, which Mazda rotary expert/engineer said wasn't very good for the rotary.

Let me guess, the sales may be William? $20 including tax or extra? It should be a GT then?
That's my Acura dealer too. Family bought at least 5+ Acura from there and I know the owner of that dealership.
anyway, welcome to the board.

just buy new taillight seals from the dealer, replace them both and be done with it. screw drilling. thats just masking the problem and going in the opposite direction of the proper fix.

Thanks bud, but naw I delt with my main man, Ismail... Another guy there was saving it for someone else and Ismail sold it from right under him... i remember his face when i was closing the deal the guy was jus choked. I got it for less then what the other guy was selling it for to haha. It was like 22 with taxes.
