    I saw this car parked at a dealer a few years ago with a giant sign on it. https://acuraconnected.com/2016/10/1...9%20Acura%20TL!
    At least they were honest that the transmission on the 1 million kilometer Acura was replaced more than once.

    Nissan gave the man with the 1 million miles 2007 Nissan Frontier a brand new 2020 Nissan Frontier last year. The clutch was replaced at 801,000 miles. There's a sticker on the truck indicating that.

    I wonder what sort of deal the couple got from White Bear after trading in their 414,000 miles Mirage?

    Maybe go with your inner Magnum P.I. and try to contact the former car owners Janice and Jerry Huot of Minnesota (per article). Of course theyve probably signed an agreement not to discuss the CVT, UFO's, who shot JFK or whats really in the McRib.

    He sold me my Mirage via his personal cell, but he was only the GM back then.

    I also have his cell phone #, unless it's been changed since 2017. I would try email first. Richard is a big dude. I wouldn't want to be on his bad side. Love his sense of humor! If you don't know Richard, he's in the clip below -

    I wouldn't expect anyone's story to change. Looks like they're claiming it needed wheel bearings and a starter.
