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

What does "NOT RUN" mean on this listing?

Accepted Answer

NOT RUN 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 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

What can I find out from VIN 3MZBN1K7XJM245846?

Accepted Answer

3MZBN1K7XJM245846 identifies this specific 2018 MAZDA 3 in black with a 2.0l i-4 di, dohc, vvt, 156hp engine, front wheel drive. This page covers its auction history only.

Question 6

Can I buy this 2018 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 2018 MAZDA 3 was listed at IAAI as lot 12613375 and any sale happened there. We publish the record so buyers can research what comparable vehicles actually sold for.
