Question Risks of a used starter???

I have an 05 and am looking to upgrade to the updated 06+ starters.

if i were u and worry about the used starter might go bad.

Might as well save a bit more money to get a Re-manufactured one with warranty.

Mazda doesn't sell new starters anymore. Its all Reman.

if your car starts fine and never flood *knock on wood*, then Starter should not be your top priority.

okay thanks, do u know where i could get one for an AT?

i recently was doing LED work and had the lights on alot, it drained my battery a bit and couldnt crank enough to start, it flooded. idk if it was the battery or crappy starter but i want to get a new one.
