Haven’t looked at the 14’ I might just see if it drops again and maybe go look next weekend. I’m not in a big rush. Who knows maybe these sellers are reading this thread 😂
Offering 40% less than asking might be excessive but I’d be happy. I hate negotiations, how about someone get the seller to sell it for $4000 and I’ll send you $500. 500 Canadian though might not be worth it lol

Yeah, the "5" key is nowhere near the "1" key.

Did he say what caused the damage on his 2017 Mirage? I looked at the pics. It seems like somewhat minor stuff, but it's spread out to multiple areas. It doesn't look like he hit a moose with it. Maybe this was discussed already, & I may have missed it, too.
Letting it sit for a week or two, may increase his willingness to drop his price. That comes at the risk of someone else buying it. It's hard to make an offer on a car you haven't seen in person. Then again someone else may offer him $4,500, & he may take it. That's the unknown!
I hope you find a Mirage to your liking. Darin & you both getting Mirages of your own sort of reminds me of two NFL players you like getting inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame or something!
The rad support was pushed back pretty far, rad hose was squished between fan and intake. Easy fix though. Drivers mirror was busted and held on with tape. Tailpipe was rusted off. Looked like it was used on gravel roads 99% of the time. Not much paint left under the car. The biggest turn off was an oil leak. I didn’t look close to see where it was coming from but wasn’t interested in fixing a ton of stuff right from the start unless the price was under$3k.
The owner was hard to understand and either barely spoke English or was a good actor lol. Overall car was trashed. To make great again would need both bumpers, lh mirror, fix oil leak, could use tires as they didn’t look to have been rotated before, needed windshield, and exhaust. Then whatever other problems pop up after looking further. Guy was relatively honest about the issues but wanted too much in my opinion.
I’ve missed out on a few deals being a few hours too late. My only worry is finding out I hate these cars as a daily driver lol but I’ve driven some total sh$tboxes in the past and given zero sharts.

Damn, I'd have no issue negotiating for that car. Loaded, low kms, in amazing shape, weathertechs mean pristine carpets.
Overall a mighty fine Mirage. Around here that car would be priced out close to $9,000, or more, because of the low KMs. I've seen a couple on Kijiji and thought someone is getting a great deal if they can get their head around the fact it's a '14. My discovery is age doesn't seem to matter with these cars, they stay solid, rust free and tight regardless of age or miles.

Zero II, 2014 SE, 5MT, climate She's HOME now!
Shelby AKA "Cute", 2017 ES 5MT, A/C.
Mirage owners look at the world differently than everyone else, but in a better way
We're driving the Beetle of the 21st century, the greatest small car now available!
