A family couple from the USA bought the cheapest car on the market 6 years ago. Namely, the Mitsubishi Mirage manufactured in Thailand. They paid 13 thousand dollars for the car and planned to use it for everyday trips.
That’s how it happened, the car was driven every day, covering a considerable mileage. As of today, the small hatchback has covered 414,000 miles (over 660 thousand km).
For comparison, this is actually the distance from the Earth to the Moon and back or 16 times around the World.
According to the couple, despite such mileage, the gasoline 1.2-liter engine has not undergone major repairs, and over 6 years at 150 thousand miles, the wheel bearings were replaced, and a little later the starter. That’s all!
When the car was brought in for a scheduled maintenance (at 400,000 miles), the dealer offered to keep it, selling the couple a new Mitsubishi Mirage with a big discount.
Already wondering if you can buy such a car in Ukraine?
We answer: yes. Prices range from 6 to 12 thousand dollars (for a 2019 car – we are talking about options from the USA).
