Is a MAZDA Car a Good Investment?

One of the most common questions that we receive here at El Dorado Mazda is, “Do Mazdas hold their value?” While no car is an appreciating investment (i.e. something that increases in value over time), Mazda cars are known for retaining their value over the years. Thanks to their high-quality construction, Kodo design philosophy, and overall reliability, Mazda has been ranked as one of the top five best resale value car brands.

Here are some reasons why Mazda cars make for a great investment, as well as how you can help to retain your car’s value over time.

MAZDA Car Resale Value

According to a study, the average value retention rate for Mazda vehicles after five years is 76.98 percent. Though sports cars are about the last type of vehicle that you would expect to be a good investment, the Mazda MX-5 Miata is different. Thanks to a timeless design and a simple but zippy powertrain, the Mazda MX-5 Miata sports convertible retains over 80 percent of its resale value, puting it in the top 20 cars with the highest resale values.

Other specific Mazda cars that were found to be particularly good investments (retaining over 70 percent of the purchase price after five years) include:

• Mazda3
• Mazda6
• Mazda CX-5

How to Keep the Value of Your Car High

In order to keep the value of your Mazda car high, it’s also important to get regular Mazda service at El Dorado Mazda. Doing so keeps the powertrain running efficiently, ensures that your brakes are safe, and helps keep it running like it did when you first purchased it.
