Our Mazda 3 Depreciation Analysis and Recommendations
The Mazda 3 does not hold its value well, with its resale price falling consistently throughout its useful life. Ranked in the bottom quartile, the 3 is hard to recommend simply from a value standpoint, as it does not age well. Perhaps you will be better off considering a Honda or Toyota when looking in this vehicle class.
The 2015, 2017 & 2016 Mazda 3 model years are currently the best values.
On average, expect to pay only 44% of the original cost with 58% of the vehicle's lifetime remaining for a 2015 3. That gives it a Net Used Value score of 14.01 which factors in annual maintenance costs, price decline, reliable years left and available inventory.
Also consider the 2017 & 2016 3 model years. Those currently have a generally low risk of any significant depreciation over the next several years.
Own a 2015 Mazda 3?
While we would advise holding onto this vehicle for a few years, that's not always the plan. Dealers have access to similar figures so they know that your vehicle has a low risk of depreciation.
