The warranty on them is a 12 month or 12,000 miles warranty (i.e whichever comes first). These motors don't last 200,000 miles anyway. If replacing a motor is an issue for you, this is not the car for you. At some point, these engines will give up the ghost whether its a Mazda remanufactured engine or an engine built by a specialty shop.

Ignore Rich. He was abused as a child.
The motors are as good as you treat them. Its not going to blow up as soon as you get it *if* the car is relatively stock; however its not going to last a 150k miles either.
