Yeah...that's a HUGE problem. Something isn't right with this car. Nobody would do a color change on a 4 year old Mirage. It's super expensive to do it right...especially in black. That doesn't make sense. The interior seems a little dirty/dusty for a super-low mileage car, too. This thing spent some quality time sitting inside a body shop. My guess is this car was in a collision and was repaired...and that's when they decided (for whatever reason) to do the color change. I would walk/run away from this one...especially at that price. No under-hood pics, either. And why is this dash piece missing?
If you were even thinking about buying this car, you would have to pay a body shop to look it over. It's just not worth the hassle and risk. I wouldn't buy this car if they cut the price in half.
A "clean" carfax doesn't guarantee the car was never in a collision or has not had body work done. I Googled the VIN number expecting to find this car at a Copart auction...but nothing came back (TIP: Always google the VIN number of any car you are looking at. You might be surprised what you find).
