A Mazda's value is what buyers actually pay today. ForCar reads real US asking prices across 19 Mazda models ($2,000–$38,995) and shows the trade-in, private-party and dealer range by model, year and mileage — free, no signup.
Across 11 Mazda models we price, a five-year-old car still asks about 69% of what the newest one does — that puts Mazda #3 of 38 brands, above the 54% market median. The CX-7 holds value best at 107%, the Tribute worst at 42%. Calculated from 2,264 listings.

How well does a Mazda hold its value?
Resale value is everything when you sell or trade. Because ForCar prices from the live market, you see how a Mazda actually depreciates — here's the median value by age across the brand's models, from real listings (compare with the typical depreciation curve by age):
A Mazda worth about $26,620 at one year old is typically down to ~$20,618 by five years — roughly 23% lost in the first five years. Open any model above for its own year-by-year curve.
Which Mazda holds its value best?
Not every Mazda depreciates the same. This is 5-year value retention by model — how much of its price each keeps after five years on the used market (higher = holds value better):
Retention = the median resale price of a ~5-year-old model versus a current one, from real listings. Luxury and high-powered trims usually drop hardest; practical, in-demand models hold on.
Does Mazda hold value better than other brands?
Every brand we price, ranked by how much of its newest price a five-year-old car still asks — the median across that brand's models. Mazda sits at #3 of 38, against a market median of 54%.
Which Mazda body style holds value best?
The same badge depreciates differently depending on what it's bolted to. Here's every Mazda body style we price, ranked by how much of its newest price a five-year-old car still asks.
Body styles with only one or two priced models move a lot year to year — read them as a direction, not a verdict.
What mileage costs a Mazda
Crossing 100,000 miles takes about 49% off a Mazda — gentler than the 64% the average used car loses. Median asking price in each odometer band, from our listings:
How far Mazda prices spread
Two cars of the same year and badge rarely cost the same — trim, condition and seller move the number. Across Mazda, the gap between cheap and dear runs about 74% of the median. The band shows the low-to-high range, the line is the median.
Trade-in, private-party & dealer price
Every Mazda has three prices. Our low–median–high range maps to what a dealer pays you, what you'd get selling it yourself, and what a lot charges — see current used-market prices across all models too:
On Mazda listings the dealer retail price (151% of median) runs about 2.2× the trade-in offer (70%) — the gap you're negotiating.
Trading in or selling your Mazda?
Know all three numbers before you walk in. Trade-in is fastest but lowest; selling private-party nets the most; a dealer's asking price shows the ceiling. ForCar's range gives you the leverage to negotiate from real data, not a salesperson's screen.
