They were bad sellers, Mazda flooded the market with discounted stock even 2 years ago.

Bad sellers? There was quite a waiting list for the ND3 for a while. And they hold their value pretty well so there seems to be demand.
I did get a £2k discount on mine which was one of the first ND3s in customer hands in June 2024 but I think that's simply the nature of a mainstream marque with a big dealer network having a bit of competition.

hmm why else would Mazda leak out a steady supply of discounted new / unused cars through wholesalers :shrug:
They sell well used, especially 2.0 in soul red.
And that orange special edition.

Really? There was only one new unregistered Soul Red Homura available within a day or two of the announcement despite Mazda saying they had stock to last until January.
How much are they being offered to wholesalers for? Can you link any for sale outside the dealer network?

There were a few new (pre reg and unrig) ND2 for sale after the ND3 came out in 2024. They only sell a few hundred each year, so need really a flood.

not seen this channel before, but a decent review and I’m slightly tempted in a head vs heart way.

You are not the obvious person to buy one - having sold one that you weren’t using enough and with the Z4 which really does a similar job.
