Bought a "cheap used Mirage" -- fixing up a damaged 2014 ES

[Car Nut]

Well... I'm a proud owner of one now. 2014 ES with 37k & CVT. Member alex16 posted it the other day, after seeing it on Craigslist. Guy brought it down to me yesterday from around Gettysburg PA for $50, to cover his fuel. He bought several cars at the salvage auction and decided to fix some of the others, and cut this one loose. $2950 for the car, $450 for the same color door, $100 for the fender, $50 for the rocker trim, $65 for a mirror. Hour and 15 minutes to pull off the other door, hang & and adjust the new one, & hang the fender. I'm thinking about $500 for paint and body work to repair the rear door and wheel area. Has two brand new tires on the rear (Utt Oh) and will need two on the front soon. It does drive straight, steering wheel stays centered, so hopefully no rear axle issues. Might try and run 185 60 14's on it later. Runs great, trans pulls fine, brakes stop. What else could you ask for? Heading to my paint guy after my mirror gets shipped in.
