Question 1

What do water/flood 2023 MAZDA 3 models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 12 recorded sales of the 2023 MAZDA 3 with water/flood damage, the median was $4,600, from $3,700 to $5,750. That is 10% below the $5,100 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $3,700 a good price for this 2023 MAZDA 3?

Accepted Answer

629 comparable 2023 MAZDA 3 listings sold at auction for a median of $5,100, spanning $3,500 to $7,850. At $3,700 this one went 27% below that median. Auction prices reflect as-is condition, so the gap usually comes down to damage severity, mileage and whether the car runs.

Question 3

What does a salvage title mean for this MAZDA 3?

Accepted Answer

This 2023 MAZDA 3 was sold on a salvage title. 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 4

How far is this MAZDA 3 from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in CA - SACRAMENTO. The nearest major vehicle export port is Long Beach, roughly 200 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $250-$350, 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 5

Is 20,754 miles high for a 2023 MAZDA 3?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2023 MAZDA 3 listings at auction averaged 33,238 miles across 629 sales, so at 20,754 miles this one sits 38% below 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

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

Accepted Answer

RUN AND DRIVES is the auction's own condition note for this 2023 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.
