I'm still kinda confused lol, I think we're on the same page but you know that car-part has no clue what parts will fit for a Mirage14+. It know's for pretty much any other vehicle sold in north america(like a camaro transmission) but for some reason, I don't know why, there are a few vehicle models that they just do not have any interchange info on and the 14+ mirage is one of them. I ran into that a few times when I would entering cars into the hollander/eden/car-part system years ago but can't remember what they all were, one was a lada niva, but those are junk and nobody ever bought parts from them.
But agreed, if you know what will fit you can indeed type in the year for non interchange search and come up with cars that are from that era. But it doesn't know, you look up transission for a 14-19' Mirage, and cvt and manual come up, look up 1990-15' and yeah.
I wish the car-part site would actually give interchange for parts that they actually have the interchange for just like the wreckers have access to. Some pick n pull's let customers print off what fits. For example a headlight for an 02' dodge 2500 truck(which has an interchange). Look up on car-part and you'll get stuff from 1994 to 2002. Which is correct, but it doesn't tell you that only 02' 2500 and 3500 will fit cause an 02 1500 is a different body style altogether. Wreckers have that info, we don't
When I worked at the one we'd always get people calling just asking for info on what fits with no intention of buying anything.
If you try to look up stuff that they don't and likely never will have an interchange for like an inner fender or door panel then you're gonna have to find out what fits from someplace else.
