Accepted Answer

Across 47 recorded sales of the 2017 MAZDA MX-5 with front end damage, the median was $4,400, from $3,300 to $7,300. That is 6% below the $4,675 median for the model across every damage type, over the last 36 months. Estimates from past sales, not a valuation.

Question 2

Was $3,975 a good price for this 2017 MAZDA MX-5?

Accepted Answer

113 comparable 2017 MAZDA MX-5 listings sold at auction for a median of $4,675, spanning $3,300 to $7,300. At $3,975 this one went 15% 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 greater than 75%-md mean for this MAZDA MX-5?

Accepted Answer

This 2017 MAZDA MX-5 was sold on a greater than 75%-md. The title type is the auction's own classification and determines what can legally be done with the vehicle afterwards.

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 2017 MAZDA MX-5. 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 MX-5 from an export port?

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at IAAI in MD - ELKTON. The nearest major vehicle export port is Baltimore, roughly 40 miles away. Moving a car that distance on an open carrier typically runs $200-$300, 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 40,868 miles high for a 2017 MAZDA MX-5?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2017 MAZDA MX-5 listings at auction averaged 60,804 miles across 113 sales, so at 40,868 miles this one sits 33% 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.
