Call around. See who can work on it with your schedule and your budget.

Not burst your bubble, but be prepared for a rebuild. Auto's with more the 50k on them are on borrowed time. Most do not get the coils/plugs changed soon enough, leading to carbon build up. Which leads to clogged cat, and blown motor soon after that.

Once the motor is warmed up running it higher in the RPM band will help keep the carbon from building up. But carbon build up in automatic rotaries has been on going issue for a long time.

2004 RX8's had a few recalls on them to help with that. Find out if they have been done or apply to your model. I know the current one on the airbag inflator is one to get done sooner than later.
