While doing my quarterly "what is the cheapest car" check, I've run across some Mitsubishi Mirage ES marketed at 8500-9000. Its been a while since I've seen a car sub 10k even after we add in taxes, so I thought I would share. Probably can't take much off of that price in negotiations, but might be worth checking with USAA's car buying tool to see if there is any play.
I've never driven one, but expect a slow ride from the 78hp 3 cylinder engine. Should get MPG in the high 30s to low 40s though. Comes as a hatchback, so plenty of room.
Note: I do not sell cars, just trying to help out those among us who need to meet the fine balance of affordable and reliable.
