Mazda 3 from 2004 to 2013
The Mazda 3 launched in Australia in 2004 and quickly became one of the country's most popular small cars. That means a lot of older Mazda 3s are still on Sydney roads — and a lot of owners eventually need to sell one.
The first generation (BK series) was sold from 2004 to 2009. The second generation (BL series) followed from 2009 to 2013. We consider both, and we're happy to hear about newer Mazda 3s as well.
Sedans and hatchbacks
Both generations were offered as a four-door sedan and a five-door hatchback, and we consider both body styles. Higher-spec and sports variants such as the SP23, SP25 and MPS are welcome — please note the variant in the additional information box.
Automatic and manual models
Mazda 3s were sold with automatic and manual transmissions. We consider either. If you've noticed anything unusual about the gearbox or clutch, let us know — accurate information leads to a more realistic offer.
High-kilometre Mazda 3s
Mazda 3s were popular commuter and first cars, so high kilometres are common. We consider high-kilometre vehicles. A service history, recent maintenance receipts and a car that drives well all help.
Registered and unregistered
We consider registered and unregistered Mazda 3s. Remember that an unregistered car can't be driven on NSW roads without an appropriate permit, so let us know its status and we'll discuss inspection and handover arrangements with you.

Vehicle condition
We consider Mazda 3s in a wide range of conditions — from tidy, well-kept cars to ones with dents, paint wear, interior wear or minor mechanical issues. Choose the condition that best fits on the form and describe anything specific in the additional information box. Photos are especially helpful here.
What affects the resale value of a Mazda 3?
We don't publish price estimates because every car is different. The main factors are:
- Generation, year and variant
- Sedan or hatchback, automatic or manual
- Kilometres
- Service history and recent repairs
- Body condition — dents, scratches, rust or paint fade
- Interior condition and working features such as air-conditioning
- Registration status
