Considering a 300k mile Mirage for $2k - good idea? Alternatives?

A 2014 MT with 68k miles for $4250. It's a FL car, so no rust. They'd probably take $3800 cash for it. Worst case, it might need a clutch soon. But, shouldn't need anything else... for about 150,000 more miles. Seems like a MUCH better deal to me. Deals like that are out there.

I would be in the same camp as Loren & Eggman. The above car is a great value, & it will last for years if taken care of. It is beyond warranty, but that car would have a lot of life left in it. I really like the 5-speed manual powertrain of these cars, & that particular car looks to be in nice shape.

If you don't quite have the funds & a small loan may be required, having a lien on the car may increase your insurance costs. I would only put liability on your 300,000 mile paid off Mirage, whereas this car may require more insurance if a loan is associated with it. Then again, it's worth more. These are all things to consider when buying any vehicle.

Not sure I am talking you in or out this possibility?
