Off the top of my head with this car @414K miles and the "cheap plastic car" here (is it still owned and operated by the forum member?) statistically our rides should be good for an average of 400K miles (560K klicks),
A larger sample size would help of course (it's not like Mirages have sold Corolla like numbers) but time is showing how good these little cars were engineered and assembled. I'm proud and happy to own 2 of these little beasts.
Commenting here after just seeing the title. Haven't read the story or other comments yet. My first thought is "wow, that's some A+ upkeep/maintenance on that vehicle. Nicely done."
Now I'm on to read about how he did it and pick up some tips.
BTW Richard is the owner and one terrific guy with an an amazing staff. we went there to buy a car for my wife outlander sport, Richard help use while my sales rep Sunny Yoke (real name) him and Richard know sign language to deal with a couple with hearing issues. that day every sales staff assisted us and he has an amazing team there! Last summer we took advantage of the St Paul Saints Free tickets and i got to see my brother in the first time in years but its probably because of my heart failure in March 21.
Hey Everyone,
I'm not sure if this was already mentioned, but, I just went on White Bear Mitsubishi Webpage and found out that this famous Plasma Purple Mirage (with 414,518 miles) is now for sale in the used car section!
Here is the link:

They want $4933.
I live only about a little over an hour from this dealer and am tempted to go there and check it out!

$5k? Are they out of their minds? That's what you'd pay for a Mirage with half that many miles.Quote:

True but this one IMO is an exceptional one and an interesting piece of history. This is already well known to be taken care of unlike other used mirage with unknown history of maintenance and repair.
I'll buy one knowing that I get a piece of mind AND drive it until 1,000,000 miles. By then, sell it back to WB dealer to get a special discount for hopeful 2032 Mirage. Win-win!
Say you’ll buy it if it’s a certified pre owned so you get the “lifetime power train warranty”.

If you lived closer, I would suggest you making them an offer. That's a car that should have its mileage plastered all over it & be driven around around the Twin Cities! I'm actually surprised White Bear is not taking that type of approach to that car in some way.Quote:

For real. JATCO should of had it shipped back to Japan so they could build a shrine to it.Quote:
