Mazda MX-5-Miata-Rf keeps an estimated 64% of its original MSRP after 5 years — #236 of 684 cars VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Mazda MX-5-Miata-Rf retains an estimated 64% of its original MSRP after five years, ranking #236 of 684 cars we track. That is roughly in line with the 63% five-year average for Sedan in its class.
Most of the loss lands early: the Mazda MX-5-Miata-Rf sheds about 2% of its original MSRP in year one alone. From roughly $38,450 it falls to around $24,684 by year five — a five-year loss near $13,766, about $7.54 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Mazda MX-5-Miata-Rf bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
