Question 1

What do normal wear & tear 2018 MAZDA 3 models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 11 recorded sales of the 2018 MAZDA 3 with normal wear & tear damage, the median was $4,075, from $3,250 to $5,100. That is 13% above the $3,600 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

What does a clear mean for this MAZDA 3?

Accepted Answer

This 2018 MAZDA 3 was sold on a clear. A clean title means no total-loss brand was recorded at the point of sale, which is unusual at salvage auctions and typically lifts the price.

Question 3

How far is this MAZDA 3 from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at IAAI in TN - KNOXVILLE. The nearest major vehicle export port is Savannah, roughly 400 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $350-$475, which is a real part of the landed cost and one reason identical cars fetch different bids depending on where they sit. Rates are indicative market figures rather than quotes, and rise with fuel prices and in winter.

Question 4

What does "RUN AND DRIVES" mean on this listing?

Accepted Answer

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2018 MAZDA 3. It means the vehicle started and moved under its own power during a brief check at the yard. It is not a mechanical inspection and says nothing about how far it would drive. Anything beyond that has to come from the photos and a physical inspection.

Question 5

Is 203,299 miles high for a 2018 MAZDA 3?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2018 MAZDA 3 listings at auction averaged 79,455 miles across 797 sales, so at 203,299 miles this one sits 156% 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 6

Did this 2018 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 normal wear & tear damage, that tells you more about its condition than the damage label alone.
