Market Highlights
- The Sub-5K Market Reality: In 2026, finding a reliable vehicle under $4,000 that doesn't require immediate major mechanical work is increasingly difficult. The 'rebuilt transmission' factor is the primary driver of value here, effectively resetting the most critical reliability clock for a high-mileage Mazda.
- Southern California Premium: The San Diego region maintains high prices for older sedans because they lack the frame rust common in other climates. This Mazda 6 represents a 'silver bullet' for budget commuters who need a vehicle that has already faced and survived its largest potential repair bill.
- Grand Touring Longevity: The 2009 Grand Touring trim remains desirable because its luxury features—like leather, moonroof, and Bose audio—have aged well. While the 221k mileage is high, these 2.5L engines are known for longevity when the transmission is properly maintained, making this specific unit an outlier in terms of value.
