 Hi,I purchased my 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage ES 4dr Sedan back in August, of 2011.I paid $1,500.00 cash for the car, the odometer read 160,000 miles, I thought I was buying a dying car, or a car on the verge of death.(at the time I knew nothing about Mitsubishi).But this car has been anything but a dying car, it has been a great first car.I've even gone as far as naming my car buster.This is a terrific starter car for anyone, old, middle aged, or young.Almost little to no maintenance, get in and drive.This car has never let me down.The Japanese really built an amazing car.I personally thank Mitsubishi motors for building a superb vehicle that was built with quality in mind.
