You can add rims, and change your sound system, you can add neon lights.

You know all that stuff that people with these cars dont do first. But, it depends on the dealership you bought the car from ask them.

Mitsubishi extended warranty worth it?

Hey, looking at getting an '06 Evo MR. Was haggling with the salesman yesterday, and he tried selling me an extended warranty for $2k. My feeling is that its not worth it. Any of you have opinions on whether its worth it?

Any plans on doing more then basic mods, don't do it. Staying lmore or less stockish, might be a good call to go with it. Pretty easy to rack up a $2000 fix it bill from Mitsu.

Just save the money, Not worth to get extended warranty if you are planning on adding mods to your car.

2k is alot of money, I wont get it even If I'm keeping it stock.
the dealer is getting that for $300-500 and trying to sell it to you for 2k
if you feel that you must have it offer him $800 but no more.

$2000 was the price the dealership offered me for 10year/100,000 mile warranty. I wasnt sure at the time if I wanted it, then he lowered it to $1455. Then I said alright.

Since then, I'm still quite unsure if I should of bought it or not. But I got it so I wouldnt be on the short end of stick incase anything happen.

Dealer said, I can cancel if I dont want it anymore. I forgot if I get all the money back or just half/partial. Can anyone tell me?

Dealer will mod and honor warranty!?

I just bought my evo 9 two weeks ago, but when I bought it I talked to the service manager and he said they can install mods for me such as intakes, exhausts, mbc's, etc.... and still honor the warranty. He says he even has a guy with 400whp that they did.
Is this a trap? If its for real im on it!
