For a dealer that's not a completely unreasonable number if the car is super-clean. Unfortunately, used car prices are crazy high right now for all cars...and the Mirage doesn't seem to be an exception based on the pricing at CarMax, Carvana, etc.
Finding a used, clean, 1-owner, well-maintained 5-speed Mirage with no stories isn't impossible but it will take some time. About 80% of Mirages are CVTs.
Any advice on this model or specifically
buying a car out of state that I can't see for myself?
Tell us where it is and maybe someone on here can check it out. I wouldn't buy any $5500 used car without checking it out in person...especially if it's at a used car dealer.
Have you at least run a Carfax report on this car? There are a lot of salvage title Mirages running around because they can be expensive to repair.
