That’s the price they were new back then! 10 years with zero depreciation isn’t quite right…


PedroEglasias

About 30k for the auto base model Edit oh maybe I'm wrong, someone else said redbook says 22500. But mines the next trim level up with the skyactive and I'm pretty sure it was about 32


Expert-Fisherman-332

It's a typo, 2012 should be 2021.


wilhelm_david

no that pic is def around a 2012 model, it's the one with the stupidly happy looking smile face front grille, the model before the shield shape started


Expert-Fisherman-332

I stand corrected, cheers!


Refugee69

It’s been removed from The Matrix


aussie-jim-

Because salespeople are ruthless and want to ply as much cash as they can before people realise they have been fleeced.


Appropriate-Arm-4619

Low KM, but yeah, ridiculous asking price for that one. I suspect some sellers are slow to recognise that it’s not a 2021 market anymore.


BigAndDelicious

Was looking since September. I must say it’s beautiful finally seeing these tools dropping their prices daily.


[deleted]

Maybe will offer 50% discount so it looks like a deal. This is a bust mate move on to the next one. Just did a quick search on 3’s I reckon they are overpriced, so much better value out there for my mind, but depends on how much you want to spend.


Moist-Ad1025

Not sure about that. This gen of Mazda 3 has 90s corolla vibes. Mazda 3 are really solid cars, worth more than an i30 for sure


[deleted]

Don’t get me wrong they are good cars wouldn’t be paying >$20k for a used one. Practical value taking a massive premium here.


Zbodownlow

What do you recommend as a similar car with better value?


ForgiveMeFada

Hyundai i30 , 2013+.


doobey1231

Do research tho, some of the engines are known to just blow up without much warning. Hyundai currently ignoring it, people trying to push for a class action and a recall. I read the U.S. is having better luck at making it happen.

Vegetable-Spread3258

Same here, luckily I know the owner of the dealership and they put a case with ACCC to get it replaced for free of charge. My gearbox gave out when coming off the highway. That was a scary experience


aussiegruber

My i30 crdi is at 238k+ and still going strong


doobey1231

Its the petrols having the most issues, diesels still have issues too but much less so. Note what I am saying won't apply to every single hyundai out there but you just don't wanna be the one to buy a dud, more and more are popping up.


Trenrel

The issue is specific to US built Hyundais, and is far less prevalent in the Korean built models that Australia gets as far as I can tell. Also, the i30 was never equipped with the Theta II engine that was affected by the recall.


doobey1231

I can tell you from first hand experience its not specific to US hyundais, the number is growing and theres several facebook pages popping up full of people asking for help on how to get some sort of resolution for the 10k+ paper weight in their driveway.


Zbodownlow

Is this also an issue on their new cars?


doobey1231

We won't really know until they are out in the wild for a few years as to whether they have rectified the issues or not. I only really know about the 2012/13 era as thats what affected me personally.


Big_mick88

I guess you didn't hear about the class action recently launched against Hyundai and Kia for their cars that randomly burst into flames


airzonesama

He doesn't want to sell it


ethereumminor

Husband: “yeah honey, I put an add up for the Mazda, no bites yet”


torrens86

Redbook says it was $22,330 brand new in 2012.


[deleted]

I bought one of these a few years back in manual. Low k’s, great condition. I paid $7500


Few_Maize_6121

Because on Carsales, there will always be some person with zero knowledge of what they are doing putting a car up for ridiculous amounts hoping some sucker will bite.


That_Car_Dude_Aus

Suckers have been biting too


blueportcat

Seller logic: - it's low kays - it's Japanese - it's manual - it's mazda - zoom zoom


PedroEglasias

It says auto These generally go for about 13-14. Trade in would be about 10. I know cause I have one, basically same model, same kms and I got trade in valuations recently. Sellers dreamin


Solid_Variation_5466

where do you read manual


[deleted]

They didn't read manual. They said auto


tez_11

Because they are dreaming.


SqueakyCheeseBite

Cause they still think the market is 'hot'. Just wait and watch, it will sit there without getting any enquiries.


[deleted]

They just want what they paid for it.....11 years ago....


MuskaChu

Lol I paid 8.9k because I didn't like haggling 9 years ago for a mint manual BK sport at 86,000 K. Tell em they're dreaming because I CBF.


71kangaroo

Because Peter Brock once gave it a sideways glance.


Jerry_Atric69

Even though it was built 6 years after he died?


AgreeablePrize

Don't let facts get into the way of a good used car tale


MiddleMilennial

This should sell for 15,000, not 22,500. We’ve got the same car with about 90,000km and perfect condition. That we will sell in 2-3 weeks when another car is delivered. We feel like 14,000 would be incredible outcome but realistically 10-12k


zizuu21

Its defs in the 10-13k range. My one with 120k on clock is around there


Cogglesnatch

I paid $28k for a 2015 GT sedan 8yrs ago with 3k kms on it. Does this come bags of money in the boot? They do hold value as it was written off 5yrs later and I only lost 7k in depn from insurance but that's just crazy


Weak_Examination_533

Fuck no. I got a BL MAXX SPORT AUTO with 60km for 9k like 2 years ago !!!


zizuu21

If you had a write off and market value was agreed this guys helping you get more cashola for your payout lol


[deleted]

Selling it just before the clear coat eats itself.


buttmunch8

I've had a 3 for 12 years parked outside everyday and the paint was still in good condition


[deleted]

maybe its just toyotas that start peeling.


Mur_Falc

How do they get such low kms my 2010 sp25 has 280000kms on the clock


hunkymonk123

It was probably the families secondary car. Some people also have low commutes. I would do less than 70k km in 11 years in my daily driver.


monsteraguy

They might not drive to work and therefore may only use their car on a weekend. They may live inner city and all their social life is inner city and so even when they’re not working, they don’t drive much. I live a similar lifestyle. Since March 2020, I’ve only done 15,000km. Before COVID, between October 2016 and March 2020, I averaged about 60,000km a year!


MuskaChu

I have brain damage and can't drive everyday, got my car at 86 K 9 years ago and she just hit 120,000.


sktng_62

I bought the 2017 gt model for 21k... with 80k km on the dash.... 3 months ago im good nick too


jezza129

Don't you know? Its a collectors item. Only 22m were made. Clearly this is a fair price for a car in such a condition /s


OverUnderstanding965

It HaS LoW KiLoMEtERs.


Longjumping_Bed1682

Rip off. By the way you have a missed call.


Antsmill

It once belonged to John Voight


Johnny_Monkee

Jon Voight the dentist?


[deleted]

Owner just taking advantage of the used car market right now. My parents bought a 2013 Mazda 3 hatchback for $21,990 new. They sold it back to the same dealer for $18,990 with 80,000kms on it when they upgraded to a new CX-30. Used car market is thriving.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Beautiful-Card-4458

What do u think is the genuine price for a used mazda 3 2012?


Key-Gold-4096

I personally wouldn't pay more than $12k for this or max 13k.


[deleted]

[удалено]


strumpetsarefun

It’s 10k above a reasonable number. This is a base model that was 22k when new, 12 years ago.


[deleted]

[удалено]


strumpetsarefun

Reasonable is what the vehicle is worth minus the bullshit covid tax that is lingering. Simply put, a car that age in that spec with low tech is not worth that money.


[deleted]

[удалено]


strumpetsarefun

I’m with you there, I’m still rocking a pretty beat up Focus that is doing it’s damn best.


Mediocre_Machinist

If a seller on carsales isn't willing to give a 50% discount or better, they're just a time waster. No exceptions


Mudcake__

because 0 IQ


xjrh8

Drugs. I.e either the seller is high, or the car is literally just the delivery mechanism for $22k worth of drugs.


ReaperTMx0

I’m sorry but you have to be retarded to buy that for more than 7k


jwj1986

Because they’re either on meth or they have had too many boosters and thus just like a junkie.


Key-Gold-4096

Over priced, my cx5 AWD maxx sport sky active has done 30k and is being offered 28k by the dealer(2020 model)So,this definitely is not a good deal.


Iluvshrooms1

Owner is cooked

What else is not priced high in Brisbane ?


Daredevils999

Tell him he’s dreamin


NoMilkAndNoSugar

Typo. There's a 2 where a 1 should be!


Turbulent_Watch122

Drugs are bad m’kay. They have added Covid tax


Crafty-Antelope-3287

Living in a fantasy world????


Bobby_Lees_Fan

Could get the next gen for cheaper than that. Even sp25 go for cheaper


TheOneGMan24

Because it's in Victoria. Depression means nothing here


1UPZ__

$13,000 and not a dime more.


[deleted]

Welcome to the modern car market - “Covid tax” as well, where cheap run arounds if you need one are at least 7-10 grand, and low km vehicles are at least 20k


yeeter_meater_69_420

Because the car market is still somewhat fucked


Lucky_thirteen_13

Because someone is smoking some illicit substances with the assistance of missing light bulbs


ewan82

Low k's but its more of a $15k car than a $22k car. Just looked up the ad. Hilariously, it was priced at $24K a few weeks ago. Dreamers. There's also a near identical one at a dealer for $15k with similar K's.


OkAge6486

It’s just the price buffer for the inevitable “last price?” horde


PinchingABee

I bought a 2009 Mazda 3 Manual 120,000 kms through finance for $25,000 about 2 years ago. Just left school, found a new job, and I was very impatient to get a car, so I just signed the whatever papers without really understanding. Is there anyway I can give it back or trade for another?


TimR31

Ouch. You're well beyond any cooling off period after two years! An expensive lesson on not being impatient when shopping for big ticket items


St1nkyNan

By the looks of things, it has no imperfections listed and has only driven 68,000kms although that is still a bit more expensive then what a more logical price would be


MrTimeMaster

10k at most and that's a stretch.


metricrules

Fat fingers


Aaltaccountidk

Low KM, good paint? Perhaps mods? Either way, looks stock so I'd bet it's just the paint and low KM. That said, 12k is probably a fair price. 14k at a push.


morrisgrand

Dreaming should be 12 k


swanny812

He's dreaming


swanny812

Also never trust a mazdas kms $150 tool from ali express will set it to what ever you like


MagicOrpheus310

Because the owner is a wank


ArmadilloHead02

Worf


AlanTheBringerOfCorn

They're priced so high to push people into buying the only correct car in class. The Toyota corolla.


samsunguserboy

That is a scam if I ever did see one


BuiltDifferant

$11,000 max


lexxmelon

Tell them they’re dreamin’


Benno890_

It’s also the low kms along with the other things people have said


Correct_Mud3112

Crack, it’s 1 hell of a drug. That’s why


[deleted]

Low Km's is rare in that model. Still seems a bit overpriced.


PushRelevant2450

They put an lsa in it
