Question 1

This MAZDA 3 sold without keys — does that matter?

Accepted Answer

Yes, usually. A missing key means the vehicle often cannot be started or moved under its own power at the yard, so its condition is harder to verify and buyers bid more cautiously. Replacing a modern key and reprogramming it to the immobiliser typically runs into the hundreds. It is one of the more common reasons an otherwise sound car sells below its comparables.

Question 2

What does a qc-irrecuperable-quebec mean for this MAZDA 3?

Accepted Answer

This 2018 MAZDA 3 was sold on a qc-irrecuperable-quebec. The title type is the auction's own classification and determines what can legally be done with the vehicle afterwards.

Question 3

Is 114,332 miles high for a 2018 MAZDA 3?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2018 MAZDA 3 listings at auction averaged 77,843 miles across 724 sales, so at 114,332 miles this one sits 47% 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 4

Where was this MAZDA 3 located?

Accepted Answer

The lot was held at IAAI in QUEBEC - ST-EUSTACHE. 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 5
