Queen of the Road: Hi M.Y. I’m assuming it’s the Madza 3 I.
For a 2006 Madza3 4dr. Sedan I with 36,900 miles, wholesale prices range from $12,000 (being in above average condition) to $10,450 (being in average condition) and $8,900 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $10,150 to $13,500.
For a 2006 Madza3 5dr. Sedan I with 36,900 miles, wholesale prices range from $13,200 (being in above average condition) to $11,900 (being in average condition) and $10,600 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $11,900 to $14,800.
Did you find this car through a private seller or a dealership? What is their current offer?

Hi there,
It looks like we missed that deals (those Mazda3’s don’t seem to stay in used car lot long). Then we found another one, which I like:
2007 Mazda3 i Touring
About 27,000 miles
Automatic Transmission
Color: True Red
The car seems to have a set of new tires.
Exterior has few very minor dents, but otherwise looks really good. Interior looks really good, other than one button on CD player seems to be broken.
The dealer have $14,700 listed on it, and I don’t think they’d budge.
