Cheap used Mirages you've seen for sale?

That's tempting!

Oooo! Highly sought after superlightweight, uncomplexified base model!



Only 129k km = 80k miles, with an asking price of $2590.

If this car weren't black, I'd have gone to look at it already. I do not want another black car (Firefly is black). And no, I don't want to repaint or wrap it either.

Also it might be a curbsider seller. (No plates on the car, commercial looking photo location.)

Found in Ottawa (also where I found Mirage #2) on Failbook: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/437758670595942

Ooo! $2900 asking price for a 2015 5MT stripper model with only 77k kms / 48k miles on it!



Front quarter is pranged too...



I'd take this one over the black car in a heartbeat. 1 year newer, almost half the kms. Too bad it's 6 hours away.

Sweet hubcaps too

You could probably fix that with some hot water and a plunger!

Sweet hubcaps too

I have my 4 hubcaps there waiting for my new winter tires on my old steelies. People who think it's cool to drive around without hubcaps in the winter actually cause more rust on their tire, wear in tear. I am driving alloys in the winter so I can't say much lol.

You learn something new everyday. This forum is great!

I think that's why there are hubcaps in the first place. You don't "need" them, but I don't think they're just for the looks, either. Right?

My steel wheels have some rust. Where the wheel covers scrap off the paint when pulling them off & putting them on is the probably the worst. I use wheel covers to cover the rust, & that includes rusty lug nuts.

My 1990 Ford Festiva & 2000 Honda CR-V had silver painted steel rims without wheel covers. Festiva rims looked bad for most the 14 years I owned it. Honda steel rims held up pretty well. I bought three used ones from a junk yard & used the full size spare for my second set. Those where the good old days before TPMS!

My steelies have rust too. I have my used alloys on my Mirage currently, but before that I actually noticed the rust peeping from the hubcaps on my old original steelies. They were on my Mirage over 6 years, so to be expected. At least the hubcaps always covered my rusty lug nuts too lol all 16 of them. You don't notice the rusty lugnuts "that" much with my used alloys. My Mirage is a commuter car for economy, not a Lambo Urus so function over form.

My hubcaps are currently stacked on top of each other like playing cards. I will use them when I get my new winter tires soon.
