We consider this car an interim vehicle until some more diesel options are available in Canada. Can't afford Audi's or Mercedes, and VW are not cheap either. Mazda seems to be putting out 'good value' vehicles these days.
Diesel 6's are confirmed for the Canadian market and eventually I think we'll see the Mazda CX5. A diesel 3 would be awesome but I don't know if they're even producing that for overseas markets.

Hopefully in a couple of years we'll trade this in for something else.
I wouldn't be worried a bit, the clutch is the weakpoint, a new tight engine can take all sorts of revving and your not going to damage it. If the person was a completly useless driver there may be some synchro damage but I woudn't lose sleep over it, More likely they just rode the clutch and burnt it out.

Seriosly, your getting a decent deal on the new clutch, fix it and enjoy your car without stress. Just think, if it had been fixed before you got it yould be none the wiser and the car is most likely in great shape otherwise.

My brother had a used car break down driving it home right after buying it. It's been running fine for several years since, just terrible luck.
