Nice find, Dirk!

How about this 2015 with 8k km / 5000 miles on it ...

$12.5k CAD = $9065 USD.

Ottawa, Ontario may be too far away, though. Sorry!

I've been looking at that ad for a month waiting for an appropriate thread to post it in.

Priced too high. @$10K it might fly but they are being unrealistic. This isn't a McLaren F1 where zero miles will double the price. it's a commuter econobox.

ETA: Cheapest of the cheap, NO AC, crank rear windows. Even @ZERO miles I'd pass.

Whoa! The rare plasma purple. That will be the most valuable to collectors IMO.

Oh wow, yeah, as I said in another thread, I actually saw a plasma purple in town today- that color looks AWESOME. So sad there weren't more of those made. That plasma purple Mirage is the only time I've seen another hatch in town (which I like, I kinda dislike driving what everyone else does).

Not just Plasma Purple... but a Poverty Spec as well! The rarest of the rare here since we didn't get that. I want a PPPS!

I don't know if you can call it poverty spec with the Super Luxurious Automatic Transmission option.

I have considered this but I want the SE trim, and when all is said and done, I'm probably looking at a $20k car, that will lose $4k in value when I drive it off the lot.

I would find one that someone just drove off the lot & save that $4,000.

Mirage trim levels has been confusing over the years.

2014-15 ES was the top trim level

2017+ ES has been the base trim level.

2017-2020 GT was the top trim level.

A 2019 LE (lower trim level) would have 15" black alloy wheels, whereas the 2019 SE still had 14" alloy wheels.

2021+ SE has been the top trim level.

Just curious - what does the SE trim level have that you couldn't live without if the price was really good for another trim level (slightly used)?

Drat... I didn't even look... I just saw Wallys comment about crank windows and no AC and just assumed.

In case it hasn't been said, the clutch in a Mirage probably has the LIGHTEST pedal effort of any car out there. It's ridiculously easy to drive. So I always advise people who are considering getting a Mirage as a commuter car not to rule out 3 pedals. (If you can find one.)

The clutch effort compared to your Camaro would make you laugh out loud.

Good luck on your search!!

My Cummins Ram did have to have a new clutch as the engine is slightly modified and putting out way more than the rating of the stock clutch. So I replaced it with a 1,000 lb-ft rated clutch. So, if I drive my truck for a while, then jump in the Mirage, I practically slam the pedal down through the floor.

You must be talking US cars only, right?

Both my 14's came with everything, Climate control, BT, rear heat, fogs, PW all around, alloys, heated seats, 6 way driver and more stuff I forget. my 1st 14 was titled MES as the model. My 2nd Mirage, exactly the same options as the other, was titled as model MIR.

Make of this weirdness what you will.
