    Post How Many Miles Do Mirages Last For?

    I am thinking about offering someone $6,000 USD for a 2015 mirage RF that has 32,000 miles on it. How many miles can I expect to put on the car?

    Also, what would you guys consider a good price for the car?

    Thanks.

    Here's one that was bought back by the dealer with 414,000 miles a couple years ago. It was a delivery vehicle, and White Bear is a legit Mitsubishi dealership in the Midwest.

    https://www.autoblog.com/2020/12/01/...der%20warranty.


    "According to the Huots, the Mirage only needed two noteworthy repairs on its way to 414,000 miles: a replacement starter motor between 200,000 and 300,000 miles and a new set of wheel bearings some time after 150k, both of which they say were addressed under warranty." Dec 1, 2020

    That's an impressive number of miles. Alas, I know I can't expect that.

    A good price is what you feel is fair. How long it'll last depends on how well you and the previous owner(s) take car of it.

    It shouldn't have needed much for maintenance with such low miles other than oil changes. We have many Mirages at my work with 400-485,000km(250-300k miles) that just required basic maintenance to keep them on the road. These are driven like rented mules for the most part by min wage delivery drivers.

    I recommend the Mirage to anyone that can stand driving one. They're not for everyone.... But they're dirt cheap to drive and easy to fix/maintain. Anything you need to know or have trouble with can often be figured out on the form(unless it involves something like lift kits, adding a muffler to your air intake or something bassackwards. They are light, low-powered, and the least intimidating thing on the road.

    I bought one to commute to work, it does everything I want it to. It's reliable, sips gas and is paid for.

    I did a compression test on a 2015 with well over 250k miles the other day. I'll have to post the video. I was impressed.

    You'd know better than I. Every region is gonna be different. That's probably a pretty good price. I'm just a cheap bass turd.
