I mean, it's only a 9 year old car, and a Honda with less than 100k. But it's also a luxury marque in an attempt to show the absurdity of the statement.

So....
You can get a 3 year old Honda Fit with less than 50k for significantly less than the price of a Mirage.

Or you can get one that's about 1.5 years old with 36k for about the price of a Mirage:

It's a larger, more luxurious, better appointed car.

Or how about a Cruze LT with 18k?

My point was that every new car, especially every new "econo" model has to do battle with a huge, inexpensive used market where the "off the lot" penalty has already been paid. Thems the breaks for this segment.
