resale value

[harrison888]

What's up guys, I checked kbb.com about the used car value of the 3's, but it's not yet available, I wonder how much would my car worth retail/private sale/trade.

I got a 2004 3s 5-dr manual w/ sunroof & 6-CD with 10K miles on it, any idea?? (My excise tax value my car $8000 !! )

I assume Mazda 3's wont depreciate nearly as fast as any other car in it's class due to it's superior quality despite the lil bugs, it's refined looks inside out and all the goodies you get in it, 4 wheel disc being standard, etc etc...

I checked the black book value (followed a link on GM canada's website) and my car is now worth 13000$. That's 5 months of ownership with a total of 9000 kms.

Every car automatically looses 30% of it's value as soon as it is registered under a first owner, after that, the rate at which it depreciates depends on the make, model, trim level, mileage and how well it's kept.
