Fummins - (In an "Office Space" kind of voice) I'm going to have to go ahead and sort of disagree with ya there. Uhhhhh yeah.
Hahaha - I don't see what you're seeing. Except, what it does look like is the that the front bumper has been repainted. Or replaced and painted. The blue on the bumper is "off" a might. And even the front bumper to the hood gap looks a might large. I'd say it has rear-ended another car.
But a repaint? From green? Naaaaah. I don't think so (I might be wrong). But all the pillars inside are blue too. And it does look like the original blue. Other than that, it is just about the ultimate Mirage. GeeeeeFoe, 3 pedals and manual HVAC. I'd be interested. I wish my son were into 78 hp. But NOOOOO, he wants 298 hp. Ridiculous.

I hear you.
I realized that the Gee Fort 5 speed does NOT come with cruise control. Darn. I can’t live without it.
Ahhhhh crap, you're right. I missed that. I can't live without it either. Cruise control is worth about $10,000 to me.

Edit - not sure Fummins & you are comparing the same car?
I agree with Fummins on this one. Green was not offered in 2017, and the car being shown was repainted to the green color. I might add they did a very nice job of it.
Fummins has a good eye! The bolts that hold your dash in from the side are not painted on my Mirage or any Mirage for that matter, yet this one has bolts that are painted green. I can also see where the sticker that indicates the date of manufacture has some green paint on the edges of it. This would be a sticker that would have been added after the paint job at the factory.
The fact that the car came up "Pearl White" on their information at first would tell it was that color if you looked up the Vin #.
When Richard asked my top three color choices for a 2017 Mirage, green was not one of the options to pick from! The pink (looks more pink than purple to me) & green Mirage were not passed on to the 2017+ Mirages.
Cruise control didn't become standard for all until 2019. 2018 added Bluetooth controls to the steering wheel. I can pick out a 2017 ES by the steering wheel alone. It's one of the few & maybe only to have nothing extra on it. Not sure about the base 2014-15, however?

Is there any consensus why this car was repainted green when everyone knows Wine Red or Blue are the most desirable colors? As a bit of a snob I reject all white/black/grey cars as non entities.
ETA. For all the effort to change the color why not pull the entire interior and fittings and do it right?
I bought a 68 Road Runner in an awful cream color. It looked like baby barf. This was before I knew much about VINS and matching #'s and what not. I went to restore it and it was down to removing the last body panels when I discovered it was the proper RR Orange originally. Same thing with a friends 440 six pack Challenger, painted white over the factory plasma purple. Last example is a 340 Screaming Demon my cousin owned, painted black with Black Sabbath band stuff on it but it was the barf green from the factory.
Why did people buy cars with such garish colors only to cover them up? Of course, I saw more than my share of 318 Chargers painted Petty Blue and the # 43 on them. So maybe that balanced the world?
Funny I never encountered 454 LS6 Chevelles with fake badges, nor bogus Mustangs or Trans Ams. It was only the Mopar crowd that played fast and loose with colors/badges/trims

For whatever reason, the link I was clicking was coming up with a blue G4. I did see the green one, and it did look repainted. And the green does look good on that car.
