Question 1

Was $5,925 a good price for this 2021 MAZDA MX-5?

Accepted Answer

106 comparable 2021 MAZDA MX-5 listings sold at auction for a median of $6,000, spanning $3,500 to $9,300. At $5,925 this one went 1% 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 2

This MAZDA MX-5 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 3

What does a certificate of destruction-fl mean for this MAZDA MX-5?

Accepted Answer

This 2021 MAZDA MX-5 was sold on a certificate of destruction-fl. The title type is the auction's own classification and determines what can legally be done with the vehicle afterwards.

Question 4

Is 1 miles high for a 2021 MAZDA MX-5?

Accepted Answer

Comparable 2021 MAZDA MX-5 listings at auction averaged 40,684 miles across 106 sales, so at 1 miles this one sits 100% 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 "NOT RUN" mean on this listing?

Accepted Answer

NOT RUN is the auction's own condition note for this 2021 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 6

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

Accepted Answer

The lot sat at IAAI in FL - TAMPA. The nearest major vehicle export port is Jacksonville, 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.
