This 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage ES Sedan had only 2 Previous Owners and No Reported Accidents per the AutoCheck Report shown above.  It has a valid New Jersey Inspection sticker through 3/14.  I test drove this Mitsubishi for over 85 miles and it runs and drives really nicely for having 188K.  The motor sounds great and this vehicle gets great gas mileage: 27 MPG City and 35 MPG Highway making it a great little commuter car.  There are no warning lights lit on the dashboard whatsoever which I point out in the video and pictures and no check engine light.  The transmission shifts smoothly throughout all gears as well which I give several examples of during the test drive in the video above.  The wheel alignment is also very straight and the car does not pull to one side or the other while driving whatsoever.  The suspension also feels good and there are no odd noises or sounds while going over bumps.  There is a slight exhaust rattle that I noticed while revving the engine at a stand still however it is rather unoticeable while your driving and certainly not an annoyance.  It would most likey be a very simple adjustment to take care of the rattle.  There are no fluid leaks whatsoever coming from the vehicle and the A/C works great.  The interior features:  Power Windows, Power Locks, COLD A/C, Working Heat, CD Player, Am/Fm Radio and much more...ALL of which is functional inside the vehicle.  Also, All of the interior and exterior lights and signals are all fully operational.  The interior is very clean for the year and mileage of the vehicle.  The seats look fantastic and there are no rips or tears on any of them.  The drivers side carpet has a small rip however there are floormats included as shown in the pictures.  The rest of the carpets are in good condition as well.  This was definitely a NON SMOKER vehicle.  There is no smoke smell or pet odor inside whatsoever.  The body is also in great shape for the year and mileage.  The paint looks exceptionally nice.  The clearcoat is fully intact and there are no faded areas whatsoever.  There are a couple minor dings and a dent above the drivers side rear wheel well which I point out in great detail in the video above.  Also, all of the tires have a great deal of tread life on them and won't have to be changed for quite some time.  There is a spare/jack/wrench included as well.  Please see the pictures of the engine bay as well which is very clean and well maintained - All fluids are filled to proper levels inside the vehicle.  If you have any questions about this 2001 Mitsubishi Mirage ES Sedan please feel free to send us a message or give us a call at 908-619-6227.  This vehicle comes with:

-1 Key, No Remote
-Floormats as shown

If you are a new or (5) or below feedback bidder YOU MUST CONTACT US BEFORE YOU BID! If you do not contact me prior to bidding I will cancel your bid, and block you from bidding further.

All of our vehicles are for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early for any reason. I have tried to be as honest and descriptive as possible but I'm not perfect. Please remember you are buying a wholesale vehicle and paying a wholesale price, not retail, so keep that in mind when looking at this vehicle, it is not a NEW car.  If repairs need to be made than "you" the bidder must be prepared for that, so if you are not please refrain from bidding.  Please read my feedback. As you can see almost everyone has been satisfied.  Please read the Rules and Regulations of this binding auction at the bottom of the page - Below the pictures!

This is an AUCTION, once you win the bid you OWN it, and I expect to be paid FIRST! - Non-Paying Bidders will be charged a Listing FEE of $50.

If you are not sure about something, Please ASK before placing a bid. Do not assume anything not listed is included. We reserve the right to cancel bids for excessive negative feedback. Serious bidders only! First time buyers to Ebay must contact me prior to bidding or face bid retraction. Although we do our best to describe these vehicles, these are previously owned vehicles and there is a possibility that we might overlook some appearance and mechanical details. We do our best to list any major defects in appearance or running condition. However this is used vehicle and we have very limited (if any) history on it.  As a result, we do not guarantee this item at all. We strongly recommend you inspect this item BEFORE bidding. We also recommend you tow your vehicle away and have it checked out by a certified mechanic before driving - regardless of its condition. If we do not require the vehicle to be towed and you choose to drive your vehicle from our location, then you do so completely at your own risk.  It is the responsibility of the buyer to have thoroughly inspected the vehicle, and to have satisfied himself as to the condition and value to bid based upon that judgment solely.  If you have any questions, please contact me at 908-619-6227 and I will be happy to answer any of them. I will be selling this vehicle, mechanically and cosmetically "AS-IS." Remember this is an auction, and the vehicle will be sold to the highest bidder after the low reserve has been met, if there is a reserve placed on the vehicle. Please do not ask what the reserve is, because I will not discuss it. Once the Auction ends, A non refundable $500.00 dep0sit is required via PayPal within 24 Hours of the auction ending. We will accept Credit and Debit cards for deposits as well but it is your responsibility to contact us to make the deposit over the phone within 24 hours.  If you do not contact me to make arrangements within 24 hours I reserve the right to sell the vehicle to the next bidder and FILE AN UNPAID ITEM CASE and charge a re-listing fee. The balance and pick up of the vehicle is due within 7 days of the auction ending.  Failure to pick the vehicle up within the allotted time will incur a storage fee of $25.00 per day.  If you don't pickup the vehicle within the allotted time you will lose your deposit and I may or may not relist the vehicle.  There is a $185 processing fee (DEALERS ARE NOT EXEMPT), and if you live in NJ I am required to collect the appropriate sales tax. We require a valid drivers license before pickup/delivery.  We require insurance information if you will require a temporary tag to drive the vehicle home.  An out-of-state tag is good for 20 days, an NJ temp tag is good for 30 days and there is a fee for a temporary tag. The buyer is responsible for all shipping costs should you choose to ship your car to your location.  We do not get involved in shipping whatsoever, but we will gladly comunicate with the drivers to ensure your vehicle is picked up as soon as possible.  We accept C4sh, Wire Transfer, Credit or Debit cards (Call For Details, Processing Fee Applies to Credit/Debit), or Cashiers Checks (Certified Bank Check - NOT personal checks) on all final balances when you arrive to pick up the vehicle.  We DO NOT accept paypal for final payments, NO exceptions. That's it. Nothing hidden. We are a well established, long time used car dealer and we pride ourselves on being as honest and straight forward as possible and giving our customers great deals. GOOD LUCK!  ***This is a Summary of our Terms and Conditions - Please Read Our Full Rules and Regulations At The BOTTOM OF THIS LISTING!***

What Should I Expect When Buying A Used Vehicle?

This is a reminder to all bidders. These vehicles are USED vehicles and are not new. Please expect a certain amount of wear, use, and flaws as is standard on ANY used car. All used cars including this one may have dings, nicks, chips, glass marks, fading, scratches, paintwork, accident history, rust, wheel or rim imperfections, or any other issues that are associated with use that is consistent with age and mileage of the vehicle. Obviously a car that is 10 years old will show more wear and have more flaws than one that is 2 years old. Since these vehicles are used, please remember that books, extra keys, remote entry keys, navigation discs, cd cartridges, etc...do not always remain with vehicles throughout their life. We will not be responsible for these minor accessories. These items are all replaceable at any local factory dealer, electronic store, or even on eBay.

How About The Vehicles History Report?

We often use these services to check a vehicles background. Carfax and Autocheck are wonderful services, but they have their limitations. Many times they will show more “owners” than we may state a vehicle has had. This is because they are an information service only. They have never seen the car, owned the car, and have no other information about the car than what is reported from different agencies. All of this information is originally hand entered into their databases at their source and mistakes and inconsistencies will occur! For example when a dealer such as ourselves purchases a vehicle they may pick it up as a new owner when this is of course not the case as dealers are not end users. Also they often contain mileage errors are inconsistencies that appear to make little sense. Just like any computer generated information report you need to know how to read the report & when to read between the lines. Having seen thousands of these over the years we can help you understand the information listed in these reports, just ask.


Can You Explain Your As-Is Warranty Policy?

All vehicles are being sold as-is, where is with no warranty, expressed or implied. The seller shall not be responsible for correctness of description, authenticity, genuineness, or defects herein, and makes no warranty in connection therewith. Any and all descriptions or representations are for identification purposes only and are not to be construed as a warranty of any type. Your bid is binding under applicable statute. The buyer assumes all responsibility for all defects known and unknown. The seller assumes no responsibility for any repairs, defects or damages pre-existing or otherwise regardless of any oral or written statements about the vehicle. The buyer has no right of rescission and is not entitled to any compensation for known or unknown, or disclosed, or undisclosed damage or repairs. Do n0t bid if you are not prepared to conclude your purchase. All information and comments contained within the vehicle listings are deemed reliable, but are not guaranteed. We try very hard to make sure they are as accurate as possible. If an option or feature is not listed in the ad or you do not see it in the pictures, then the vehicle most likely does not have that option or feature. Please take our video as a presentation only, it is supposed to serve as an informative look at the vehicle since most buyers are not capable or will choose not to come see the vehicle prior to bidding.  We do not want you to be unhappy with your purchase but at the same time you have to understand what "AS-IS" means. It means sold without warranty - no exceptions. Most cars are sold at wholesale prices, many way below book prices or on a retail car lot, often times thousands less. Therefore there is minimum profit at best and as such we can not afford to warranty the vehicle as if you had purchased it off a retail lot at full list price. Remember many of these cars are near a decade old or many have in excess of 100,000 miles so they may be new to you but that doesn’t change the fact that they are used cars and repairs can be needed at any time regardless of how short a time period you have owned the car. While we try to service any known defects it is still possible for used vehicles to need service or repairs the first days or weeks of ownership. All cars are used machines and used machines need general repairs on a regular basis many times without prior warning. This is especially true for name brand highline & exotic vehicles that have more elaborate features and systems. Also repairs are more common on say a 10 year old model car as opposed to a 2 or 3 year old model car since they cost significantly less than a newer car. Obviously the older the car the more possible this is of happening. What you have just read is basically common sense, but there are some people who don’t understand this so this is why we have spelled it out in plain English.

Can I Test Drive And Inspect The Vehicle?

YES!  We 100% encourage all bidders to come see, test drive and inspect the vehicle BEFORE they place a bid and before the auction ends.  Prospective bidders are always welcome to come view or arrange on site inspections of the vehicle they are interested in BEFORE the close of the auction. Once the auction has ended the vehicle is now considered sold and we do not permit any post sales inspections at that point. Of course if you are the winner of the auction you are always welcome to look over the car, test drive it, and make sure you are happy with it before taking delivery.

Will You End Auctions Early?

We reserve the right to end any auction early should we deem it necessary.  Many of our vehicles are for sale locally at our dealership and we reserve the right to sell vehicles that are listed.  Occasionally, but very rarely we have to end an auction early because we made an error in the vehicles options, description, warranty, or have a title issue. Also any bid retractions within the last half of the remainder of the auction are subject to be ended early at our discretion. We further reserve the right to refuse the sale of any vehicle to any bidder or buyer at our discretion should we deem it necessary. 

How Do I Pay For The Vehicle?

The balance of the purchase price MUST be paid for by cash in person, cashiers check (like you would get from most banks & credit unions), or bank wire transfer.  We will accept credit cards however you must call us for more information.  We do not accept personal checks, paypal, drafts, escrow services, or any other form of payment that is not expressly listed above. We work very hard to make the process go smoothly and quickly so just let us know upfront if you have any special needs so we can help out.  If you arrive to pick up your vehicle and do not have an acceptable form of payment you will be denied delivery of the vehicle. This means you will have to go home without the vehicle or stay overnight in New Jersey until acceptable payment is received.  Please do not let this happen to you, just follow our simple rules for payment to ensure a smooth delivery of your vehicle. These are the only forms of payment that we accept, so if they are not acceptable to you then please do n0t bid. Final payment must be made within 7 days of the close of the auction. There are no refunds or cancellations once payment has been made as all sales are final on all eBay related transactions.

What About The Deposit?

We require that a deposit be made to secure the transaction by the end of the next business day on each vehicle purchased. This means that if you win the auction for any given vehicle at 6:30 PM on a Monday night then the $500 deposit is due by 6:30PM the following night (Tuesday) . Each vehicle requires a $500 deposit. The deposit is to be made via PayPal only. If you do not have a PayPal account we will be happy work with you depending on each buyers unique situation. Should any buyer fail to make this deposit or to make other arrangements within the 24 hour period we reserve the right to offer or sell the vehicle to another bidder or buyer as we deem necessary. Also should the buyer fail to make this dep0sit or make other arrangements within 24 hours we reserve the right to cancel the transaction. If a buyer pays the dep0sit, but does not complete the transaction for any other reason, then the dep0sit is not refundable and becomes the property of Trade Zone.

Are There Any Additional Fees?

We charge a $185 Dealership Fee which pays for the representative who test drives and lists the vehicle, operating and listing costs, title and mailing costs, and detail services.  Dealers are NOT exempt from this fee.  No exceptions.  We are required to collect appropriate sales tax for New Jersey residents.  There is a nominal fee for a temporary tag as well.  Call us for details.

Do You Take Trade-Ins?

We do not accept trade ins on our auction sales due to the limitations of the auction process. 

How About Shipping?

We do not arrange shipping for any of our vehicles. Vehicle shipping is the responsibility of the buyer of the vehicle. You are welcome to use any transporter you choose to come pick up the vehicle from our dealership. If you do not have a transporter we may be able to suggest one for you.  We do not take vehicles to shipping terminals or shipping ports. All vehicles must be picked up at the dealership during regular business hours Monday - Saturday. Pricing and delivery times are between you and your shipper. Average shipping time is 5 - 15 days depending on many different factors.

What I Exceed The 7 Day Period?

We have limited space at both of our dealerships and should the buyer not contact us to make prior arrangements of a late pickup we DO charge storage fees of $25 per day. 

Do I Need lnsurance?

In order for us to issue you a temporary tag we will need proof of lnsurance (Policy # and Issuer Name).  lnsurance is required by the buyer once the vehicle is paid in full.

Lastly But Most Importantly

By bidding on the above vehicle or by purchasing the above vehicle, bidder / buyer acknowledges all eBay rules and the rules and regulations as stated in this listing by Trade Zone Auto Sales. By placing your bid you accept all rules as listed above and understand there are no refunds or cancellations, as your bid is a legal and binding agreement, (as stated in the eBay User Guidelines).

With All of that said, We are very fair and honest and full disclosure of known issues is our full intention.  We are not looking to mislead anyone.  We operate on very little profit since these vehicles are sold at a Wholesale Price often times thousands below what a retail dealership or KBB would value the car for, so were not looking for problems while making a modest return on a cheap car.  Our Listings include far more information than the typical Ebay Motors Auction - Every listing we create has over 80 pictures, an In-Depth Video which shows the vehicles being driven and described and a hand written description - No three word phrases.  We road test and note any obvious defects or noises in the listing and video as best we can.  Our listing representatives have been test driving cars for the better part of five years - so they are pretty good at pointing out obvious issues.  Things that cannot be heard, seen, or felt by our listing agent is not our responsibility.  If we make repairs to a vehicle prior to listing it we will note that in our listing. If there is a repair that needs to be made to a car you are purchasing please do not assume we "knew" about it. These cars are in many cases around a decade old and we do not have the wear items checked by a mechanic (brake pads, rotors, etc.) If you do not want to pay for repairs - inspect the car before bidding or have a 3rd Party make sure the car you purchase will pass your states inspection - which we do not guarantee - In New Jersey we test for emissions ONLY!  We operate on very minimal profit on these vehicles and we do not want anyone to be unhappy - But understand that we are NOT mechanics and this is NOT a certified pre owned vehicle. Please read our feedback as most everyone has been satisfied - Most of our buyers are prepared to buy a used car - We encourage buyers to leave us good feedback and we will happily do the same!  Please - If you are having the vehicle shipped and you do not come to inspect the vehicle prior to bidding do not expect a new car to arrive.  It may be new to you, but it's still a used car and anything can go wrong while the car is being transported.  Negative reviews from buyers who do not take the due diligence to have the vehicle inspected by a 3rd party prior to bidding in order to satisfy themselves with the car they bid on, purchase, and ship half way accross the country hold very little merit and can be easily disputed in our defense.  Repairs are to be expected, especially if you want your used car to be like new.  If you are not happy with your purchase LET US KNOW before you leave feeback - There may be something we can do to help.  THANK YOU~~~
