starting to see 2014 Mirages under $5k

I get e-mail alerts for used Mirages. Lately I've seen a couple of examples with higher km's showing up for under $5k, eg:

$4999 CAD - top spec 5-speed with higher km

(That's $2995 US at current exchange rates.)

Incredibly, these would still have the balance of the 10 year 160k km / 100k mile powertrain warranty too.

But these are outliers. Sub-$5k pricing is not the norm yet (unless they're salvage/repaired cars). $5-7k range is more common for 2014's with normal miles.

One of these days one will pop up that's in a "why the heck not?" price range and I'll probably get it.
