The verdict
The 2018 Mazda CX-5 Sport FWD is listed at $14,399 with 81,793 miles. The Caboose score is 8.6 out of 10, built from three things: how far below market the price sits, how much of the 200,000-mile target is still ahead of the odometer, and how often this model reaches 250,000 miles in the iSeeCars study (6.8% of Mazda CX-5s do).
The asking price is $1,551 (9.7%) under the CarGurus expected price of $15,950, which is a real discount rather than a rounding gap. That puts it in the top group of cars on this site, so it is worth a same-week inspection before someone else books one.
