Mine is a blue 2020 with 14k miles, 5 speed. Maintenanced like a mo-fo. I guess, I'll let it go for ... hmmmmm, $25k. Any takers?

It's a seller's market out here. I'm wondering if i could take advantage of this situation and upgrade from my 2015 to a 2022 without being financially wreckless?
Then again, i recently got a $17,000 OTD shipped price from White Bear for a new 2022 ES manual hatchback. I know one of the forum members here got a new 2021 ES manual hatchback for $10,000 OTD shipped earlier in the year. That's a $7,000 increase in a matter of months! Yikes.
I thought the Jalopnik article was very accurate. It's been difficult finding the elusive 2017 SE manual i wish i would've bought at $7k-$9k i once was able to find with relative ease.
David - I tried working deals on new 2017 SE manuals back in early 2017 timing. And even though I could find them, I could never find a dealer that would work out a decent deal. I doubt I knew of White Bear back them. That SE would have been SWEET. Especially if it came with the manual HVAC. I gave up because I didn't want an ES with no cruise.
I looked again in 2020, and noticed the ES's came with cruise. Shopped around again, maybe they were just hitting the bottom of the bell shaped curve increasing in PRICE (not value). I know a valuable vehicle when I see one. So I had to pull the trigger before I lost the chance to get one of the last remaining vehicles of this simplicity. $11,4XX (plus tax, tag, title). I didn't hit the bottom of the price bucket like others have. But I certainly got it before the problems ballooned the price up like it is now.

I had to decide between a 2017 ES or SE manual. White Bear was sold out of both when I bought my Mirage in October that year, but they were willing to find whatever I wanted. Thus, I had to pick one. ES manual was $9,000 and SE was approximately $9,800 (closing costs would have been between $800-1,000). If you qualified for the 3 rebates, a 2017 SE manual was $8,300 brand new. Why weren't car critics shouting this out to the world???!
I called WB on a Tuesday. They found my 1st color choice ES manual within an hour or two. It was delivered to my driveway (4 hour drive from their dealership) that same on week on Saturday morning. I used my local dealership for a test drive & left. I knew their OTD price before visiting them, & WB was about $3,500 less.
If all dealerships were like WB, Mitsubishi would be more popular. Over 4 years later, I still don't know of a good Mitsubishi dealership in my state.
Cruise control is standard on all Mirages since the 2019 model. Since 2017, an ES manual has gained backup camera, Bluetooth, cruise control, 6-way adjustable driver's seat, automatic climate controls, and emergency braking over the past few years.

Dirk has an aftermarket cruise control (Rostra kit maybe) installed on his Mirage, & it may not function as smoothly as the factory installed cruise?
The 2019 ES manual is my dream Mirage! Cruise control became standard for all Mirages that year, & the 2019 Mirage ES still had manual climate controls. It's a one year offering for that combination.
I'm not big on extra features, but cruise control & A/C are nice ones to have on any vehicle.
