$1k Mirage roulette
Another super cheap Mirage with issues!
- Base 2015 manual with 215k kms = 134k miles
- Ad lists cracked windshield, bad injector, and cracked rear bumper. New alternator.
- "Overall condition 5/10."
- Scrapyard offered him $700!
Located in Quebec.

I'm not sure I'd take a chance on an ex-delivery car. Interesting to see one with a manual trans though.

$1500 Volt - 400k kms
If I hadn't just got the Fit, I'd be looking in to this one for sure...
2012 Volt with 400k km = 249k miles, about ~200 km from here.
The ad said $1500 earlier this AM, but it's been removed. It sold PDQ.
I'd gamble $1500 on a Volt without too much thought. |

The battery alone, even fairly tired...

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I have to wonder if the price was a mistake.

I cant see how you could kill a volt battery, Lord knows I have tried. Worst case is you lose maybe 10% or 4 miles range.

I just realized the $800 Fit didn't actually qualify to be in this thread!
Per EPA ...
2008 Honda Fit 4 cyl, 1.5 L, Manual 5-spd
Combined MPG:31
City MPG:28
Highway MPG:34 |

How can anyone honestly manage to get only 34 mpg in a manual 1.5 Fit?

Drive like my sister? Her throttle has 2 conditions: floored or off.
