Beware of very low priced extremely low mileage "used" Mazdas that will soon be coming to a used car dealer near you.

Yeah, I can see it now.

Prospective buyer: Why the low miles - didn't the people like it?

Salesperson: Maybe they couldn't afford the payments.  We got it directly from Mazda.

Buyer: Seems like a good deal... let's do it.

The salesperson won't be saying "it was transit damaged more than the state allows so we can't sell it as new, that's why it only has 11 miles -  it was almost totaled because it was in a boat on its side for two weeks right on top of this one right here - see they both look new don't they?"
