Oh that would be most excellent.
I know Mitsu Canada sold a couple hundred into rental fleets about a year ago, which would explain their appearance at the auctions now.
Also: used CRZ prices seem to be really low. I've seen a few retail ads that shocked me. (Under $10k)

Yeah, wholesale auction prices.

I read an explanation for the NADA depreciation values: the price differential is between MSRP and the average trade-in values by dealerships.
Which means the Mirage numbers are probably not actually the bottom of the bucket in reality, because most dealers are discounting the cars off MSRP. And the lower the initial MSRP (Mirage is 2nd cheapest new car in the US, tied for cheapest in Canada), the more discounts will affect NADA's formula.

Can't wait until they drop to $5k or $6k

I'd guess we won't be seeing retail prices like that for 2-3 years (for the base model).
