Can mitsu really do that ?

Warranty for Outlander 08:
Warranty

At Mitsubishi, we are so confident in the quality, reliability and durability of the cars we build that we are backing all of our passenger and sport-utility vehicles with our very extensive warranties. This list is headed by a 10-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty*; a
5-year/60,000-mile, Bumper-to-Bumper New Vehicle Limited Warranty; a 7-year/100,000-mile Anti-Corrosion/Perforation Limited Warranty and 5-year/Unlimited-miles Roadside Assistance. So now, when you drive off in your new Mitsubishi, you'll leave with even more peace of mind, knowing you can enjoy it to the fullest for many years to come.

*The 10-year/100,000 mile Powertrain Limited Warranty applies only to the original owner of new, retailed 2008 models. Subsequent owners receive the balance of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty of 5 years/60,000 miles. See Retailer for limited warranty terms and conditions.


Warranty for evo X: 3/36k
Lancer Evolution Warranty
Lancer Evolution is covered by a bumper-to-bumper, New Vehicle Limited Warranty of 36 months or 36,000 miles (whichever comes first). The restraints system and the highly technical powertrain are covered by a 5-year or 60,000 miles Powertrain Limited Warranty, an Anti-Corrosion Perforation Limited Warranty for 7-years or 100,000 miles and a generous 5-year, unlimited miles timeframe for roadside assistance. All warranties are transferable to subsequent owners; coverage time begins on the original in-service date (does not start over with resale.)

Dodge does it already with their SRT's except theirs is Lifetime Powertrain

well i think a lot of us are going to put more boost through it anyway after a couple years voiding the warranty if it was 100k miles so just think of it as an opportunity rather than something bad

Dodge does it already with their SRT's except theirs is Lifetime Powertrain

yes they do its the limited warranty.meaning it will cover certain parts of the car but not bumper to bumper.the x being their like their specialty car they have limit or shorten the warranty.

At least we get 5 year/60K on the powertrain.

wich ever comes first.

But Mistu will void any and all warranty fixes if they suspect, and find proof that the damage was caused during a competition of sorts. I read about that happening with previous incarnations of the Evo.

I heard that if Mitsu found out that they had been raced (autoX, drag, drift, rally, track, anything) then the warranty was immediately voided

Yeah, mitsu is known for being *******s when it comes to evo warranties.

Yeah...but in a way I can kinda see their point. That is a bunch of money to dish out.

On the other side...wtf did they expect? A bunch of grannies driving their cars? Build the cars to be bad ass, and people are gonna drive them like they were made to be driven.

A manufacturer is not forced to have a 'blanket' type warranty over their entire line. Take the Mitsubishi Raider, for example. While other Mitsubishi vehicles get a 10 year / 100,000 mile powertrain warranty, the Raider gets a 5 year / 60,000 mile powertrain warranty. A vehicle manufacturer can state whatever warranty they want on a vehicle based on what they believe their exposure will be on future warranty claims and historically the Evo has been a high profile vehicle in the eyes of the warranty claims people at Mitsubishi. A warranty is a very high selling point on many vehicles. The Evo is not high on the list of customers who are seeking a well rounded warranty.

How many people do you think really buy the car and say, "The biggest selling point on this car was the great warranty that came with it." I can tell you, a very small percentage. Almost nil.

Many people like to say "Drive the car like it was meant to be driven", but in reality, the Evo is a rally vehicle and you're not picking one up from the showroom that is rally prepped. The performance benefits of the Evo are very high when compared to the rest of the performance vehicles in the same pricing category, but don't expect to be jumping sand dunes with a production car anytime soon or you can kiss your front frame rails, goodbye.

The company is trying to limit it's liability on these type of cars, because they've got a good amount of data about the American market from the 3 years that the Evo was sold here already. Evo owners modify their cars. Plain and simple. With so many aftermarket companies that are producing parts for the CT9A chassis, there is no way for Mitsubishi to follow up on how safe a part is for the vehicle warranty. It would be counterproductive and a big waste.

Bottom line is that whether the vehicle warranty is 3 years or 5 years, it's not going to affect the core group of Lancer Evolution buyers. Hell, most of the people out there are already used to only having a 3 year / 36,000 mile warranty anyways, so why does Mitsubishi need to up the ante when the target market is very niche anyways?

^exactly.

I have a Friend that works at a Mitsubishi dealership in Upstate NY and he told me that most things that u want to add on if u get them put on by mitsubishi then they wont void the warranty. in also know this guy who owns a 2004 Hyundai Tiburon and this guy spent over 50k hookin it up.... anyways he blew his engine shooting nitrous and since the dealership likes him they covered it under the 100,000k 10 year warranty

i used to work for a mazda/mitsu dealer. and the service manager used to laugh at how mazda would warranty anything( we were mod friendly). and how mitsubishi would send out reps to check on everything. thats the only downfall on the evo in my opinion, the warranty really is junk. we will see. its soo nice though.

its really all about the dealer though. my dealer was like " i dont care if you put a turbo on this, just make sure you take it off before the rep comes out"

Anybody have experience with Subaru warranties and dealers? How do they react to performance mods?

What if you take your car to a "driver training" event at a track, but are not involved in an actual race? I did that with my MINI and received warranty work without question (didn't hurt that I worked for the dealership at the time).

me personally no. but 3/4 of my friends own subies along with 3/4 of my family. it really like eveything else depends on your dealer, and the car. if you own a impreza 2.5i and your engine blows they are not likely to give you a hassle, but you have a sti with exhaust and they will find something to hassle you about. car manufacturors are not in the business of just giving away money. the 5 spd tranny from subie is junk. if you drive the car hard or add power your almost guar. that your 2-3 gear will pop. 1 friend of mine blew his engine, dealer replaced it, 5 days later 3 gear gone. he paid for the new tranny.

and mini is honestly an amazing warranty. they allow you to race the cars, and also usually modding is fine. you can atleast walk in and ask what can be done and they will give you a list or things. the mini dealer by me warranties 225 whp mini's all day long.

A lot of classifieds i see the seller state's its "still under factory warranty" im like yea ok not with those cams and down pipe!!!
