Question 1

What do front end 2022 MAZDA MX-5 models sell for?

Accepted Answer

Across 38 recorded sales of the 2022 MAZDA MX-5 with front end damage, the median was $6,600, from $3,250 to $9,200. That is 3% above the $6,400 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $4,150 a good price for this 2022 MAZDA MX-5?

Accepted Answer

91 comparable 2022 MAZDA MX-5 listings sold at auction for a median of $6,400, spanning $3,700 to $10,600. At $4,150 this one went 35% 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

How far is this MAZDA MX-5 from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at IAAI in CA - CARSON. 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 4

Is 22,976 miles high for a 2022 MAZDA MX-5?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2022 MAZDA MX-5 listings at auction averaged 25,327 miles across 91 sales, so at 22,976 miles this one sits 9% 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 5

What does "ENGINE STARTS" mean on this listing?

Accepted Answer

ENGINE STARTS is the auction's own condition note for this 2022 MAZDA MX-5. It is a short status flag applied by the auction, not the result of a mechanical inspection. Anything beyond that has to come from the photos and a physical inspection.

Question 6

Who sold this 2022 MAZDA MX-5?

Accepted Answer

The listing seller was AUTO CLUB OF SOUTHERN CA (ACSC). Seller type is a useful signal: insurers typically consign total-loss vehicles, rental and fleet operators consign on a cycle regardless of damage, and dealers consign trade-ins they do not want to retail. Each implies a different history behind the same damage label.
