Question 1

What do hail 2021 MAZDA 3 models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 24 recorded sales of the 2021 MAZDA 3 with hail damage, the median was $7,400, from $3,750 to $10,600. That is 72% above the $4,300 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $9,600 a good price for this 2021 MAZDA 3?

Accepted Answer

779 comparable 2021 MAZDA 3 listings sold at auction for a median of $4,300, spanning $3,200 to $6,600. At $9,600 this one went 123% above 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

How much below its undamaged value did this MAZDA 3 sell for?

Accepted Answer

The insurer put this 2021 MAZDA 3's pre-damage retail value at $19,423. It sold for $9,600 — 51% below that. A gap this size is normal for auction vehicles: the buyer takes on the repair cost, the paperwork and the risk that damage is worse than the photos show.

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 2021 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

How far is this MAZDA 3 from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at COPART in MT - HELENA. The nearest major vehicle export port is Tacoma, roughly 700 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $450-$675, 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 6

Is 29,605 miles high for a 2021 MAZDA 3?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2021 MAZDA 3 listings at auction averaged 54,103 miles across 779 sales, so at 29,605 miles this one sits 45% 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.
