Look what I found on EBAY.

Very nice charm..... however, it makes you wonder... where has this vehicle been in the past 9-10 years? ... in a time chamber?

I see that it has been relisted a few times... and the reserve lowered.

Sorry for the repost.

eBay has a list of engine types to choose from, but rotary is not one of them.

I still can't belive that the dealership saved a friggin' automagic FD to sell on ebay 10 years after it was new. Hell, with that mileage, you'd have to do an engine rebuild just because it sat for so long (apex seal springs are probably worn out).

But they also apparently have an option to write in something diff, since a couple of listings have "Rotary Engine" and "Rotary 1.3L Twin Turbo" written after "Engine:" Kind of a big diff between that and just not knowing haha

You? No. MAZDA would have to. The car's still eligible for the factory warranty

Not if they're sticking to factory recommendations j/k. I think Mazda actually recommends 6000 miles or 6 months, which ever comes first.

The car has been at Marlin mazda for a while they start it up once every 2 weeks or such, and I dont even think it moves just idles for a bit. They were using it to compare the price of an FD to an RX8 at the begining no idea why their getting rid of it now. Also I agree, WHY THE HELL AN AUTO!
