    I'm officially official now!

    It's been a long, drawn out process, by I am officially a Mirage owner now! Brought her home today. 2017 G4 ES 5 speed, 27,500 miles. A few scratches, but runs fine. Needs a little freshing in the interior, but I only paid $6500, bank values it at $9400. It will suit my needs fine: daily commute 60 miles round trip. Changing the oil tomorrow. Anyone use mobile 1 filters?

    It's all I've used. I think they have one of the best U.S. made filters.

    You might want to hold off on that.

    Hmmm...has that car been on Craigslist for a few weeks? It looks familiar.

    Yep, it's not there any longer! Weird part was, it was listed in Cincinnati, but the car was in Kettering. Saved me the drive.

    If you blow up the picture, previous owner pissed someone off who keyed the back door over the door handle. Getting an estimate this week from body shop. Open to suggestions from the forum. It is deep; down to the shiny...Tube of touch up paint was included with sale.

    Man...I can throw a rock from my front yard and almost hit Kettering...lol.

    I remember seeing the scratches in the original ad. There are a couple of shops around that can spot paint that. A normal body shop will probably want to shoot the whole door. I just had to have that done on one of my doors and the bill was over $700.
