Living in NY we get our fair share of salt and chemical treatment I noticed some retailed used mirages 14 and 15 models are decently rusty underneath. So if anyone considers purchasing a used a mirage and plans to drive it to the ground have a mechanic check it out or look it over closely if your confident the rear wheel well area collects a lot of junk, on 2 used retail mirages the back suspensions really had a lot of rust I was surprised.
I'm sure a lot of corrosion is from ownership neglect but it's something to keep in mind if anyone looks at used Mirages.
