How much does a used Mazda 3 go for?

A used Mazda 3 is valued at different prices depending on mainly five factors: year, engine size and performance, fuel efficiency of the car, number of miles as well as the equipment level of the car.

When assessing the price of a used Mazda 3, it's essential to examine vehicles sharing identical trim level. If not, you might draw an inaccurate conclusion about which car to acquire.

Before deciding on a fuel type to buy, we highly recommend taking some time to consider your current driving habits. Is city driving or highway and motorway travel more common for you? What are your average miles driven per week?

For short journeys, electric cars, plug-in hybrids or petrol cars are obvious choices. For longer daily commutes, a modern electric car is often suitable - especially if you can charge at home or at work. Diesel cars may still be relevant in some cases with very long journeys and lack of charging options. Bear in mind that diesel engines emitting high levels of pollution are not allowed in cities in a number of countries.

Hatchbacks are quite compact and offer a great driving experience as well as ample space.
