2004 rx 8 15000 miles, should i get extended warrenty
I know that the 04 rx8s have had misc. problems and my warrenty runs out in May 08. Would most on this board agree that i get an extended warrenty? anyone know what the cost of this might be?
15,000 miles, original owner, its my second car...it sucks gas, so i regularly drive my 96 honda accord, and save it for weekends.
Its in great shape and I have 2 more years to pay on it.

BIG QUESTION RAISED:
The local Mazda dealer was recently bought by a Chrysler, etc. dealer, which immediately resulted in a quantum, downhill shift in warranty repair attitude. The new dealer is insisting that my 04 Titanium 6-speed, of which I am the original owner as of Jan or Feb 2004 (I'll check), has a warranty good only to 50k and four (!) years on drivetrain. Thus he claims I am already out (just passed 50k) and would have been anyway in Jan-Feb 2008. It sounds like you guys are saying 5 years, 60k, right? Is there some catch I might be missing? Never modded, no interruption in title, completely virgin RX-8.
Really could use a knowledgeable reply here.
Thanks,
Jeffrey

I recently bought an 04 rx8 from the dealer...was 40K miles and I had remaining 2 months left on it, but at the bussiness dep. the guy said if I bought the exteneded warranty 5yrs/60K miles he would drop the price 700$....So i took it... Total 1800...If i didnt take the warranty that day would have been 2500$...So maybe thats what ur looking at...Idk call them and ask

its 5 yrs 60 K for powertrain, its not the dealership who said *yes or no* to your warranty, is Mazda America.
and some early 04s got even LONGER warranty for their 8.
Tell your Chrylser that they can go sick their left nuts, and honor the warranty now.
