Summary: 3 cars, 2 body styles, 10 years, Zero Value
I'm gonna be blunt and to the point: How the **** do they expect people to figure out how to do something on a specific car model when the book covers THREE different vehicles, with an average of THREE different Generations within the 1990-2000 year range?
For example, the Mirage is split up into three different generations in this 10 year span. 3rd Generation (3G) is 1988-1992, 4G is 1993-1996 and 5G is 1997-2001. Also, with each generation, there are two different body styles, the sedan (95 Mirage=95 JDM Lancer, 97 Mirage=96 JDM Lancer, etc) and the coupe and hatchback (3G was hatch, same as Jap Mirage, 4G coupe is a JDM 4G hatch with body made into a coupe).
Also, would this cover the Dodge/Plymouth Colt and Eagle Summit cars imported by GM in 1993? Those have a rear wheel disc option not available on the Mirage. Does it also cover the 4-door Summit that uses the same body as the 4G Mirage? The answer is NO.
If you're serious about wrenching on a Mirage, head over to www.mirageforums.net. There, you'll find most anything about a Mirage, ranging from fixing things to body kits to tuning and performance info. A MUCH more informative resource than this book.
Summary: Not good for a mechanic.
I bought this book in order to fix my Mirage 1994. But the author of this book believes that you know how to make all the things and just tell you take appart, and installing is the reverse for the disasemble... really disapointing, not for help in any way... The common tasks that can be done by a do-it yourself ocassional mechanic never are explained well. I do not recommend this book to a serious person that want to adventure in the mechanics world...
Summary: what a horrible book!
Dam I should have bought a basic car book on how cars work or something like that, cause if you don't know a lot about cars this book is written in a different language. It's vague, confusing, and almost worthless. But if you want some kind of reference book you have no choice so buy it used.
