    Called White Bear Mitsubishi to inquire about the 400k mile Mirage

    Hi fellas. I just called White Bear Mitsubishi to see if I could get anymore info about the unicorn Mirage that made it too 400k miles. This could possibly be the longest lasting JATCO CVT7 in the world. They got my info and are going to call me back. If anyone has any additional questions to ask, post em here and I'll include it in my phone interview. Fingers crossed they don't bull**** me.

    Interesting. It's an 8 minute drive from my place. lol. But I do remember seeing a Carfax list of all the maintenance done to it...not sure where it's at now O_O. But still, pretty neat! l haven't read the full article but I'm curious where it's been driven and what it's been driven through.

    If they claim the transmission fluid was "flushed" I'd like to know how. Really the only way is to remove the heat exchanger and install an adapter plate or an exchanger with with external transmission fluid lines like most Nissan's have.

    You'll be happy to know I just did an oil change on a 2015 with 383xxxkms/238xxxmiles. No signs of transmission failure. Yet. Now it will fail tomorrow.

    Good news indeed my friend. Is that 2015 your leader in kms?

    Yes, our highest mileage with original cvt. Highest overall here is almost at 469k km/ 291k miles. It's basically the town bicycle.

    I'll post if they actually call me back. I told them I was the Duke of MirageForum and that I was a very important internet figure. - sarcasm

    I doubt they'll call me back.

    Has anyone tried to get a hold of the guy who traded it in?? Might get the more honest story from the horses mouth.

    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!
