Another year, another 20k Mirages sold in the U.S.
The first North American ones are approaching 6 years of service. I feel compelled to quote myself:

This is the cheapest used Mirage I've seen that isn't a crash write-off, and the first one that qualifies in
our glorious $1500-and-under-for-at-least-35-MPG thread!
It's got 190,000 km = 118k miles on it, which is well above average. Probably a highway commuter.
It's a 2014 base model, which in Canada means no A/C (don't care!).
It's got a 5-speed manual, which is more efficient in the real world than the CVT, despite the better EPA rating for the snowmobile transmission.
95 manual transmission drivers on MirageForum are averaging 44.3 MPG (US) = 5.3 L/100 KM (vs. 42.4 for CVT drivers) over 1.7 million miles tracked.

If it wasn't so far away, I'd already be on my way to see it with cash in my pocket!
The
cheapest Mirages are going for around $3k CAD lately, so this one is waaaay off the bell curve. Why they're asking so little, I have no idea. Needs the money fast? Doesn't need money at all? Didn't do any research? Bought it used, rode it hard, put it away wet and just wants a few bucks to move on? Who knows!
