I've always been cheap when it comes to cars, as long as it has the basic necessities (A/C and Radio) I've been happy. A few weeks ago I picked up a 2019 Versa (5 speed) with 49K miles on it from my credit union's repo lot for 10K; the credit union also offered .99% interest so overall I feel pretty good about the purchase. The simplicity and efficiency has me in straight econobox nirvana and was wondering if there are other weirdos out there like me who just love a good bare bones car that does one thing and one thing only, going from A to B.

No Mitsubishi dealer near me, unfortunately. The mirage was the first car I considered. I don't mind getting a car from somewhere far away, but I'd have nowhere to get warranty service unless I drove 3 hours each time.

I had a Versa as a rental a few years ago, I think it's too basic for me for the new price.

I appreciate your suggestions. I'm going today to check out a Toyota Carolla.

I mean, you can never go wrong with a Corolla. Thing will still be running 100 years from now.
