Hello everyone! First I want to say that I've been reading hard through the forums since I purchased my car yesterday, familiarizing myself with every aspect of the RX8 I can.
I purchased a one owner, showroom new condition white 2006 Shinka (VIN verified) Special Edition, with 128000 miles on it. FULL service history and clean Carfax included. Brand new Dunlop winter sport directional tires.
Napleton Dodge in St. Peters MO was asking 8500 for it, and I talked them down to 7500 and purchased it.
During their inspections, they found a pinhole in the exhaust system, which they had fixed last night.
When I went to pick it up this morning, they informed me the check engine light kept coming on. They are now replacing the secondary air injector pump, and the catalytic converter, all at the dealer's expense.
So my questions to you guys... Did I get a good deal?
Are there any problems I should keep my eyes open for, relating to what's being repaired?
Also, I picked up a quart of Penzoil 5W-30 to top up with as needed. Anyone have any experience with this brand? Seems to be completely conventional oil, and is ISLAC (or whatever) compliant, as recommended by Mazda.
I'm a full time single father of 3, one of whom is severely autistic. My budget dictates that I NEVER make purchases for myself. Only for them.
So this car is a pretty major thing for me.
Any tips or tricks to get the mos out of the car, while extending its life and durability ad infinitum, will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
-Ryan D.
