    Why buy used when you can buy new

    Just a fyi -

    2014 Mirage has an antenna located at the front of the roof.

    2015+ Mirage has an antenna located at the rear of the roof.

    It would be interesting to compare the OTD prices of the used 2018 Mirage to a new one shared by inuvik.

    You know whats funny? There's an LDS church in my area and everytime I drive by I see a couple of Mirages parked there lol. I guess the Mormons see the value in a Mirage when doing their door to door operations. Good for them.

    If you're after a 5 speed manual G4 it would be pretty tough to find a better deal than that.

    After seeing your post, I emailed them about this car and had them write up their best cash deal. It was a joke!



    The $4600 discount became $2600, and they tacked on NINE HUNDRED DOLLARS in licensing fees. Also, the tax on this car seems to be about 15%, for some reason.

    I called them out on all of this, and haven't heard back yet.

    So if I understand correctly, this is a new Mirage sitting unsold on the dealer's lot for two years.

    I attached a couple of Monroney stickers for reference & comparison. Click on the links below to view.

    Yes. This particular '19 G4 is more heavily discounted than all of the others. It has a very low VIN and a low stock number, which to me suggests they have had it on their lot for a long time. Probably one of the first '19 G4s off of the boat. What I assume is their 'partner' dealership in Seattle has many unsold 2018 Mirage hatches as well. I use the term 'partner' because the pictures of their inventory have graphics for both dealerships. Between the two of them, there are about 20 2018-2019 Mirages and G4s on their lots.

    If these are the kinds of tactics they use...vanishing discounts and obscene fees...I am not surprised they have so many unsold cars. They even have a new 2017 Outlander Sport with a 5-speed! They advertise it at about $12k, but it would probably wind up being $17k once they are done with all of their bullsh!t shenanigans.

    Not saying $10,500 is a terrible cash deal for last year's G4, but certainly not what is advertised. These guys seem to be preying on the unsuspecting and people with bad credit, which, unfortunately, is exactly how Mitsubishi is stereotyped by car critics nowadays. To be fair, I was offered the car for $9,500 if I were to finance it through them.

    Too early to write them off as sh!tweasels yet, but we will see if I hear back. I really would consider buying this car if they could get it near what they advertise it for. I am not trading anything in (plus $1,000) and am not military (plus $500), so I lose $1,500 in discounts off of their price. But I am financing (minus $1,000) and am a current Mitsubishi owner (minus $750), so that would give me another $1,750 in discounts.

    If they were shooting me straight, I would get this car for LESS than they are advertising it for.
