Wow, it's even got tinted glass! I guess somebody decided to trade in their Mazda5 instead of waiting for the recall to end.

Wow, the bid is up to $14.5k, and the reserve's still not met. So, at this point I guess it's obvious that it's not going to be sold for less than $15k. I'm curious to see what it'll sell for.

The minimum reserve is $14,700 for the 2006 Mazda 5 Black touring car. (drive2) (yippy) (yippy) (yippy) (band2) (p5black)

Not necessarily...the reserve was met, and at that point anyone could have seen what the reserve price was.

The bidding closed at $14,700, so that's what it went for. Gee, seems really cheap for a brand new touring model...MSRP roughly $19,500 when new.

Does this mean that all of our cars have depreciated by about $5000 already? Or was this one just sold cheap?

the saying that your car depreciates by 20% the moment you drive it off the lot must hold true with the 5s... (boom07)

I wouldn't worry. I plan to get 5 good years out of this car, and enjoy it every time I see it! (thumb)

Ah...well, I didn't go back and check the auction, didn't know that reserve had been met.
Wow, it went for 14,9?? damn, that's cheap!! It had something like 1600 miles didn't it?
I wonder if the recall has some bearing on the price being so low...I wouldn't think the 5 would loose that much value that quick. (boom07)

Maybe the seller F'd up on the reserve limit or there is another unkown reason (read: defect)?

Yeah, you might be right...it could have some defects that weren't advertised. If it really was in good condition, and only 1600 miles, then I bet the seller could've gotten more money through traditional means (dealer trade-in, or third-party sale) for a car that's in such demand right now :)

But, yeah, I don't plan on selling my Mazda5 anytime soon either. So the current resale value, whatever it is, doesn't affect me. I was just surprised by how cheap this one sold for.

I'm personally wondering about flood damaged cars making their way north.....
