    Hello, new owner here 2015 police auction

    Hi Girl's and Guy's
    I am a new owner of a 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage DE with Bluetooth from a Police Auction March 11th 2017 As Is:The car was Vandelized Right Window busted out, Seats with Stab holes, middle back seat seat belt cut, side mirrors and rearview gone, Directional & Wiper lever broken, Battery missing, Gas cap missing, Found some water in Gas tank, Back Wiper Broken off, left Side doors keyed with B*tch on it, Front left fender dented up, and minor dents on back left fender and front right. My mechanic said it needs a Fuel Pump Sending Unit. Needs brake work but so far the car drives great with 17,800 miles on it.

    Hey...you might be able to find replacement doors in a salvage yard from a Mirage the same color as yours. 2 used doors may be cheaper than repainting them and replacing the glass in the door where it's been broken out.

    Note that there were 2 white paint colors used in 2015 (pearl white and cloud white). Check out this thread.

    The poor little guy! We are all more than happy to help you get him fixed up! Top Fuel is right about the doors...find them at a wrecking yard. I had somebody back into the right rear door of my '15 ES, and decided it was cheaper/easier to replace it than report it to insurance or pay a body shop to fix it. It's very easy.

    Welcome to the site.

    How much did you get the Mirage for if I may ask?
    Custom Mirage products: Cruise control kit, Glove box light, MAF sensor housing, Rear sway bar, Upper grill block

    Current project: DIY Nitrous oxide setup for ~$100

    I was curious, too. But I wanted someone else to ask.

    ...There's a fun story here somewhere.

    Rejected ex?

    Crappy high school vice principal?

    Testosterone laden pickup truck driver salty about his poor fuel mileage and statistically higher insurance due to poor driving?


    I guess we'll never know.
