Dear Thuan,
Congratulation on the purchase of your new 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. Together,Mitsubishi Motors North America, would like to thank you for your purchase.

Your 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution is part of a lineup that boast some of the most innovative and high-performance vehicles on the road today. In fact, performance DNA run through the entire Mitsubishi lineup.
Combined with our roadside and warranty coverage,you have an unbeatable formula for durability and reliability. Your Vehicle is back by:

10-year/100,000mile powertrain Limited Warranty *
5-year/60,000 mile Bumper to Bumper new vehicle limited warranty
5-year/unlimited mile roadside assistance

* Non-transferable,original owner only.

 

what... how can they give you 10 year powertrain, that's insane?!

 

sucks cause the first mod you do will void the warrant completely..

 

To 1st owner only.

 

Yea, call the 800# and see what they say about any kind of mods

 

True but.. dont forget only 10% maybe 20% of the Evo owner read this forum.
My guess is only 20% of the Evo owner mod their car. 80% keep them stock.

 

I modding my MR for sure within the 1st week of owning it.

Keeping it to bolt-ons though....

 

I got the letter in the mail today also. I tried to call the warranty number on the card but it was too late to talk to someone. I double checked my warranty book and it shows the 3 year 36k there. Its probably just a mistake. Im guessing that its just a generic letter that they use because ALL of their other cars have the 5 year 60k warranty. They probably just plug in your name and the car name...

 

Guys... I got the same letter... It counts. Don't throw the letter away. In fact, I bought the car because of the letter.

KEEP THE LETTER......

 

On that peace of paper it has my name address
dated, and Hiroshi Harunari signature.
It clearly state 2008 lancer evolution, not galant, not lancer.
My vin number . plus they give you a ID# to register for this program.

I think with all this info, and paper as proof. Mitsu might have a lawsuit on hand if they dont honor this program, after I took time to register and everything on their web site using the ID# they gave me.

 

^^+1

I got the same letter last Thursday and I am keeping it, locking it up in a safe.

 

I wonder if all the new EVO X owners will get this letter.

 

Wow this is awesome news if true. This warranty would definitely make my interest in picking up a new X that much higher

 

Wait a minute... so the letter says that you have to "register for the program"? My very first question would be what does this program cost... there are usually no free lunches in this world

 

just like my 05 MR, i thought 05 was the last year for this warranty?
