Frequently asked questions
How much is a 2025 Mazda MX-5 worth?
A 2025 Mazda MX-5 has a median retail value of $29,550, with most appraised between $27,300 and $31,015. At Copart and IAAI salvage auctions the same vehicles sold for a median of $5,100 across 5 recent sales — the middle 50% between $2,300 and $5,500.
Why is the 2025 Mazda MX-5 so cheap at auction?

For the 2025 Mazda MX-5 that gap runs about 5.8× — $29,550 retail against a $5,100 auction median. The spread is the repair bill, the title brand, and the risk.
