In the USA anyway, you could get a used alternator from a junkyard. No problem. Pull it off a accident car.
Back in the day I owned an 80s era Rabbit VW, and that was an import car too, and yes to get parts I literally had to do more leg work.
Not impossible Dirk, you are worrying. I bought like 2 alternators from different junk yards. There are lots of smashed up Mirages in yards you can yank from. I've searched for parts myself. They were polite but won't ship from Ill. to Canada.
You live in the States, so getting parts for your Mirage won't be impossible. New parts you will have to use mitsubishipartsnow.com or the crummy dealership.
Maybe you don't have the tools or the know how, but Mirages are simple cars compared to the crowded engine bays in a lot of GM products lol
