I'm in the wrong location then...I'm in Tacoma WA and it seems like up here cars just cost more.
I found one with like 120k for $10,ooo or so, and I've been checking Craigslist/Autotrader/Cars.com everyday for a couple weeks.

Yeah, I see a ton for sale from texas on here all the time
I decided before not to go above 12 so I'm going to stick with that, I'm sure he'll come down a few hundred more

I'm sure I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but it seems like every time someone posts a car they are looking at, someone else knocks it because they don't realize the difference in prices across the country.
Take a few mins, shop for cars in the a Pacific NW, and see for yourself... Check out CL, Auto Trader, Cars.com, whatever.

For where you are 12,500 sounds like it's in-line. It's a Mazda dealer as well so you would hope they've gone over the car technically for you.
Maybe you could throw in a free compression test first to make sure the engine is is good running order. Might be worth a shot, at least then you'd have some piece of mind.

Currently from there, and thats what I'm saying. The car im looking at is nice and everybody is telling me to walk away when Its so cheap, I couldn't find this car price anywhere, well at least around here. 7k , still under warranty.

I HATE SPEEDBUMPS!
Ask for a compression test before you buy (most 04 issue).
Anyway, try to get it down to were you are comfortably paying. I think $10k is just right for an 04 with 50k miles on it.

Got it! compression test was good, they had it all on file. Since it was a Mazda dealership they had all of the recalls taken care of as well. The previous driver traded it on a brand new RX-8, so I'm assuming he knew his stuff while he had it. Tires are good too.
Drove a stick once before like 3 years ago lol...still gettin used to that, gonna grab a couple quarts of oil to put in the trunk.
Ended up getting the car for 12...got a 3 yr/36k mile warranty for 1500 financed in.
