Should I buy an extended warranty through Mitsu for my used EVO?
Here is the deal. The car has 20,300 on it right now. It's covered until 60,000 or Jan 31 2010. Whatever comes first. I know the date will come first as I don't drive that much. I can get a 5 year 75,000 Warranty starting today (Since I have 18 months left on factory warranty, the price is cheaper on the warranty) bumper to bumper for like $1250 with tax. Before you start saying Mitsubishi Warranties suck, I'm not modding my car. No intake or suspension work. I'm keeping it stock. Is it worth it to buy? I'd hate to do this and then there is hidden stipulations that would make me pay labor anyway. I had nothing but bad luck with a 3000GT years ago so this time around it's the reason I'm looking into the Warranty in the first place. Thanks for any advice or info.

+1 ^^ You really should consider the fact that if you dont plan to mod anything, or keep it for a long period of time, ie. at least to the warranty date, then why not purchase the warranty. MAke sure you read what Mitsubishi says is actually covered and under what conditions, you might be surprised.
Good luck either way. Try not to justify why you need it, but rather why not. It usually makes your choice much easier.

I'm going to hold off for now. My thoughts at this time are that I have 18 months left on the factory warranty. Hopefully I don't have problems, but if I do I can test the waters and see if Mitsubishi plays games or not. If I have no problems I'll just have to decide with a higher warranty cost later in the game. OR (what most people would do) since I'll be pretty close to paying it off maybe I'll just mod the F outta her. Thanks for the replies.

I would buy the 7 year, 100,000 mile warranty if you want to keep the evo for a long time. If you plan to trade it in, then don't bother. Parts for the evo are already pricey and in the long run it will pay off. Just check what is covered in their aftermarket warranty.
