2023 MAZDA 3 Select Package

The vehicle is a 2023 Mazda3 sedan with a salvage certificate of title. The auction lists the primary damage as FRONT END. Stage 1’s photo-based assessment states that the visible evidence supports this claim, citing extensive deformation and missing or damaged components across the hood, bumper, grille, and front corners. The front end has severe collision damage. The hood is extensively crushed and folded, while most of the front bumper cover, grille, and lower fascia are missing or detached. The radiator and other cooling components are exposed. Both front corners show open gaps, broken or hanging plastic parts, exposed wiring, and damaged mounting areas around the headlamps and bumper. The front fender edges are also deformed, with irregular gaps at the hood and headlamp junctions. The headlamp lenses remain visible, but the surrounding trim and mounting components are damaged or absent. Multiple airbags have deployed, including the driver steering-wheel airbag, lower driver-side airbag material, and curtain airbags along both roof/A-pillar areas. The instrument cluster displays: “Air Bag System Malfunction. Have the Vehicle Inspected.” Airbag-system repairs and diagnostic work will therefore be required, in addition to replacement of the visibly damaged body and front-end components. The exposed cooling assembly, wiring, and front-end supports should be inspected for less-visible damage, and the vehicle should not be considered roadworthy without a complete structural, mechanical, electrical, and safety-system inspection. According to the VIN decode, this is a front-wheel-drive/4x2, gasoline-powered Mazda3 sedan with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured by Mazda Motor Manufacturing de Mexico in Salamanca, Mexico.
