I haven't bought a Mirage, but was thinking about this very thing. I don't even know if the lower price is "real" in that when I went in to buy one recently, they added on lots of fees. Even with negotiating, the best price I could get was $900 more than the online calculator, and this was before the finance office who tend to have the reputation of adding extras, so possibly more. I expect that last month, with the 0% financing, there was maybe more room to negotiate - but the sticker said $12,500. Psychologically, you were buying a more expensive car and getting a good deal on financing. Now it seems you are buying a "cheap" car, and getting gouged on added charges. Quite possibly a marketing mistake, but what do I know?
As for expecting Mitsubishi to reimburse you, I doubt that would be successful. Like any product, prices fluctuate and supply/demand rules. If they suddenly raised the price, you wouldn't likely offer to pay more!
Edited to add - Also, you have the CVT right? The discount doesn't apply to anything but the base manual with no financing deal. CVT or SE are full price. The discount is also only a 1 month offer for now, and in Manitoba, there was only one available for the Province. I don't know that this marketing offer will last.
