looking to buy a rage

it will be my first car, anything to look for that could hint at it being a lemon? thanks alot. i found a 94 for 1000. im not plannin on racing or driving too aggresivly so im gonna get an automatic cuz im too lazy to drive a manual adn i know i kno. manuals are better but o well. first car. thanks alot in advance. if anyone if the Portland, Oregon area has one for sale at a reasonable price please let me know. once again thanks guys.

bein you first car and all i have to say this. one day you will drive it hard, race, or somethin of that sort so heres a couple pointers. 1a)an automatic can be drove like a manual to help performance a little by puttin it in L and shifting up. 1b) doin this is fine but dont drive in a lower gear and wind it out and hold it there. itll wear it out. 1c) dont drop it down in Low while moving let it come to a stop before you put it in L, you can drop it in a lower gear than D while driving but dont drop it and floor it, AND 2) the BIGGEST one dont rev up in nuetral and drop it in drive, nuetral droppin, big no no, will mess it up big time, cost lots to fix. :grinyes: welcome to the mirage community

thanks alot, well driving like a manual sounds like it would be quicker then just drive. thanks

to bad you dont want a fast 4g mirage, I have a 4g63 swap one for sale in Vancouver/portland area.. its a 5 speed tho..

well sadly when i called on the mirage in the paper the guy had sold it before it was even published in the paper as he told me. o well ill keep looking for something in a decent price range. o and paul if i had 4 large i would pick up that mirage in a heart beat. making nearly minimum wage is rough when it comes to purchasing cars

after months and months of searching for cars i finaly found a 2002 mirage Coupe. the car is awesome and its an automatic with 55 thousand miles on it i got it for $4,000. now im looking for parts and as i have heard the 2 door parts are hard to come by. any sugestions?
