Check and see what Mazmart can do for you...... https://www.rx8club.com/mazmart-88/remanufactured-rotary-engines-104255/

Just send them a message asking about getting one from them.

3000 for a new one? your dealership is loaded with idiots.

tell them if its 3K each brand new I buy 10 of them right now. I will send a truck over and load them all in myself.

and you, if u think thats expensive. you need to sell your car and get a Civic.

I strongly doubt she gave u 3K "brand new", at most is a reman and Im fairly sure Mazda's Reman cost more than that. (if she is the owner of the dealership, wanna get laid with u + don't mind taking a lost then yea its very possible)

well, if its 2K I say just do it at the dealership.

like I said, it won't be possible for a 3K new engine UNLESS she is willing to take a loss.

1.8K for reman not including core? ok. lets see how this goes. make sure its a "real" Mazda reman tho.

Wow thats great how nice of Mazda. Is there another company that would do that for you? We see they are committed and I am too. What all did you add to it, clutch, plugs, etc?
