In retrospect, $11,400 is still not bad for a brand new Mirage! Sure, you didn't get the record-breaking $10k bottom floor price but you got a better deal than today's $17k I was quoted! How times have changed!
I too wish I would've known about White Bear back in the day. They seem to be the midwest go-to Mitsu dealer who is still genuine and not trash, i admire that. And, i think you and I should've pulled the trigger on brand new 17 SE manuals when we had the chance especially from WB! Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda. At least the new 21s/22s come well equipped even on the base model manual.
