#7 of 13 A good hatchback by tomj5

Oct 27, 2001 (9:12 am)

I bought a 90 Mitsy Mirage 1.5L/Auto tranny, new. I drove it to work 10 years without a single problem for 120K miles.
Did routine maintenance on it and had the boots changed about every 3 years. It would cruise AZ I-8 at the speed limit in 115/125 degree heat with a cold ac and doing 40mpg, passing dead fords and chevys. (Ford/chevs cooling systems can't handle extreme heat for long periods????) The Mirage had a large radiator with two big fans. The temp gauge never varied even on hills.
I am retired and still have it. It is a great around town car(Phoenix). I would like a new car but can't bear to give it up. Yup, it still gets 40mpg and purrs like a fat cat.

#9 of 13 About that zero percent financing..., by revka

Nov 21, 2001 (1:20 pm)

here's an article from Edmunds' Daily Headlines that some of you may find interesting: Zero-Interest Car Deals Attractive, But Check The Fine Print. What do you think?
 
And on this very subject, the Wall Street Journal is looking to hear stories about people who declined the 0% finance rate in order to accept a different incentive (cash back, etc.) or buy used instead. If this applies to you, we'd appreciate hearing from you.... Please send your information to Edmunds' public relations director: jfallonedmunds.com
 
Thanks for you participation.
