New owner first impressions

[Mark]

The shocks only last to 30,000 miles? I will have them checked. Probably not a warranty item, eh?

Steve has 270,000+ miles on his Mirage, & he hasn't had an issue with shocks. I highly doubt your shocks are bad. The car has a soft suspension in general. For general driving, I would see what a sway bar does for you first.
