That's not a bad deal for a 2011 but regardless of condition or mileage you should get a compression test. The S2 Renesis has proven to be more reliable but a used car is a used car and even the S2 Renesis is still no award winner in terms of reliability.

My original engine went at 22,000, dealer serviced, and the car was bone stock.

You can probably talk them down $1500 or $2k.

So where do I go to get compression test? Mazda dealer?

Yes, a Mazda dealer or an independent rotary show that has a rotary engine compression tester. You are still under the extended 8 year or 100k engine warranty from Mazda but if the original sold date of that car was in 2010 then you don't have a lot of time left.
