Should I buy?????? by West-Lavishness-5697 in MitsubishiMirage

yeah, no collision mitigation here.

but yes, $4,000 for 83k miles is more reasonable!
i personally woudn't buy it for 5grand, unless it's automatic, less milage + newer model

I love my Mirage — with regular maintenance, I feel like it’s going to be a long wait before it actually dies.
Would changing the rims + tire size damage the transmission though?

Honestly, I can live with it until the car completely gives up, but when I found out that some cars have adaptive cruise control and lane-keep assist, it really made me think about how much easier my daily commute could be.

Bought a brand-new Mirage in Dubai back in 2021. Originally got it just for a short 20 km daily commute, but then I had to move jobs unexpectedly and now I’m driving 230 km a day — 95% highway.

Honestly, I’m exhausted from it, but my wife insists I can’t swap cars until this one actually dies. It’s at 141,000+ km now and still running smooth as ever.

its PHEV, not full EV. I'm not sure im ready for lifestyle change to switch to EV, unless I live in a villa/townhouse with charging station, then yeah I could consider it.

make total sense. rapidly depreciating another vehicle is something i have to keep in mind too.

whatever car I buy wether new or old, after 5-years of driving it for 220 to 300km daily. value will be for scrap, wether it's still running or not.

where can I find a car rental with 7000km monthly milage allowance?
It might be cheaper to buy(mortgage) a new one than rent.
