Question 1

What does a ab-salvage-alberta mean for this MAZDA 3?

Accepted Answer

This 2016 MAZDA 3 was sold on a ab-salvage-alberta. A salvage title means an insurer declared the vehicle a total loss. Repairing it and passing a state inspection can convert it to a rebuilt title, which stays on the record permanently and affects resale value.

Question 2

Is 126,810 miles high for a 2016 MAZDA 3?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2016 MAZDA 3 listings at auction averaged 82,203 miles across 241 sales, so at 126,810 miles this one sits 54% above that. At salvage auctions mileage moves the price far less than damage does — a low-mileage car with structural damage will still sell under a higher-mileage clean one.

Question 3

Where was this MAZDA 3 located?

Accepted Answer

The lot was held at IAAI in ALBERTA - ROCKYVIEW. Location sets the inland transport cost to a port or a repair shop, and state title rules differ, so two otherwise identical cars can be worth noticeably different amounts.

Question 4

Did this 2016 MAZDA 3 come with keys?

Accepted Answer

Yes — this lot was listed with keys present, which usually means the vehicle could at least be started or moved at the yard. Combined with front damage, that tells you more about its condition than the damage label alone.

Question 5

Can I buy this 2016 MAZDA 3 from AutoBidCar?

Accepted Answer

No. AutoBidCar is an archive of past auction listings, not a seller — we have never owned this vehicle. This 2016 MAZDA 3 was listed at IAAI as lot 12630758x and any sale happened there. We publish the record so buyers can research what comparable vehicles actually sold for.
