Cheap used Mirages you've seen for sale?

[Wallythacker]

I'm looking forward to the day when you collect them all and can line up all the colors like a rainbow and take a picture.

I have yet to see a green one with A/C. I'm sure they exist. A/C is mandatory for me.

If it were a manual, we'd have to arm-wrestle over this one.

Ya, that's why I was quick to post, I knew it wasn't what you wanted. If it were a 5mt, it's yours. It's only right as you were considerate regarding my '14.

ETA: It doesn't have AC. I have no idea how hard it would be to add it. I suspect it's not worth doing. Ergo, this Mirage holds no interest for me.

I still think it's a good deal for someone looking for basic transportation. I mean, 5 year old car for $2k, probably less.

I'm having a hard time finding a cheap Mirage local. So far I found a 15' cvt 100000km(60k miles) with remote start? and I think may have ac for $5250 all in, and an 18' 5spd pole dancer model with 47k km(30ish k miles) for $8000. https://www.kijijiautos.ca/vip/11708340/

Id look for used Micras too if your looking to spend $6k.

There's a green 14' cvt with ac in our parking lot. One of our drivers bought it a few months back. I'm sure they're gonna be into it for close to the price of a new one thanks to roach financing otherwise I'd offer to buy it.

It's a shame about the financing but nobody forced them into it, it's just the way of the world. The purple $2k '14 nea me is a POS, not even worth a look see. It doesn't run so who knows what all is wrong with it. Someone else can gamble on it, not me.

Something decent will show when you least expect it, of when it's incredibly inconvenient to deal with it. The way of the world at work, again.

Well at least you've got a few cars parts cars you could use for trouble shooting.

And yeah, the day after I buy a rusty old jetta or civic $1500 Mirages will pop up everywhere lol.

Thinking about that car a bit more and the "needs a starter" comment in the ad...

I bet it has the ring gear/flywheel/starter shim defect. Not as easy as swapping in another starter.

If it involves swapping flywheels then no thanks. If I have to go to that much trouble then I may as well go whole hog, add AC, rebuild the CVT, etc. Nope. There will be other cheap CVT AC Mirages surfacing. I can be patient. The next 5MT is still yours though, lol, until you say you don't want it.

I lost track of which car you guy's are talking about. If it's a 14' cvt than yes I'd be assuming it'll need a flywheel too.

And yeah why the cvt is out might as well just replace the input shaft and likely prolong the life by a lot. But both of those things sound like work that I don't want to do unless someone's paying me.
