https://www.motortrend.com/features/...le-value-cars/Mitsubishi Mirage - 38.9 Percent Resale Value (After Five Years)
You're forgiven if you forgot the Mitsubishi Mirage is still around. Mitsubishi's subcompact has been on sale since 2011, and although it has received two face-lifts in that time, it lacks crucial features, rides poorly, and suffers from a wheezy engine. With that in mind, it's no shock the Mirage hatchback and Mirage G4 sedan found their way onto this list. On average, the Mirage will retain only 38.9 percent of its value after five years. That said, potential buyers may be enticed by its low price tag, strong warranty, and gas-sipping fuel economy.
They say "worst resale value" like it's a bad thing!
A highly depreciated Mirage is a screaming good value - spend 2 - 4 grand and you could probably get 10+ years of trouble-free motoring.
And for those of you in the upper crust of society who buy new Mirages, depreciation doesn't matter if you drive 'em into the ground.
