Mitsu: new certified pre-owned car program ... transferrable original 10 yr warranty

[MetroMPG]

One of the big reasons for buying a NEW Mitsu in Canada & the U.S. is the industry best warranty:

10-year / 160,000 km (100k miles) Powertrain Limited Warranty
5-year / 100,000 km (60k miles) New Vehicle Limited Warranty

But the catch has always been that the 10-year powertrain portion of the warranty is not transferrable. So if you were shopping for a used Mirage to save a bit of coin, you were out of luck once the original 5 year portion runs out.

But Mitsu Canada has just announced you keep the original full warranty if you buy from their new certified pre-owned program, plus the option to buy an extended version of the 5-year full vehicle warranty (up to 9 years or 180k km / 112k mi):

A consumer benefit and competitive advantage of the Mitsubishi Motors CPO Program is the warranty option. With the best new-vehicle warranty anywhere, Mitsubishi Motors is allowing for optimum, transferable coverage to CPO customers who will also have the ability to extend the original five-year (100,000 km) comprehensive vehicle warranty by four years (or 80,000 km).

No idea if this is being rolled out in the States too.

Mitsubishi Motors Launches Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Program
Industry-Leading Warranty Offers Competitive Edge

Mississauga, ON -- Dec. 1, 2015 -- Mitsubishi Motors has launched a new program to certify pre-owned vehicles, bringing a new level of confidence and quality assurance to consumers seeking a pre-owned Mitsubishi car, crossover or sport utility vehicle.

The new Mitsubishi Motors Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Program has begun rolling out across the country at participating Canadian dealerships. To ensure only the best Mitsubishi Motors vehicles are captured by the program, CPO-eligible vehicles endure a rigid screening process and the following standard features:

* Mitsubishi Motors-approved,160-point vehicle inspection and reconditioning standards (the all-electric Mitsubishi i-MiEV receives a unique 126-point inspection);

* 12-month key (or key fob) replacement coverage;

* 10-day/1,500 km exchange privilege;

* CarProof(tm) vehicle history report;

* 90-day complimentary customer trial of SiriusXM(r) satellite radio on applicable models; and

* The most standard warranty coverage of any certified program in Canada.

A consumer benefit and competitive advantage of the Mitsubishi Motors CPO Program is the warranty option. With the best new-vehicle warranty anywhere, Mitsubishi Motors is allowing for optimum, transferable coverage to CPO customers who will also have the ability to extend the original five-year (100,000 km) comprehensive vehicle warranty by four years (or 80,000 km).

“Our pre-owned program is derived from the company’s key strength – an industry-leading warranty. It builds on the ‘Built Better, Backed Better’ qualities built into every Mitsubishi Motors vehicle,” said Tony Laframboise, vice president, Sales & Marketing, Mitsubishi Motor Sales of Canada.


“Our new Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Program has the potential to offer up to a nine-year/180,000 km comprehensive vehicle warranty, in addition to the 10-year/160,000 standard powertrain warranty that distinguishes Mitsubishi Motors in the Canadian marketplace,” he added.


Mitsubishi Motors has partnered with pre-owned and finance and insurance specialists LGM Financial Services Inc. who will provide full administrative and sales support for the program.

It is available, I saw two certified Mirages and thought it was a mistake. I called the dealer and they confirmed it. I just didnt think it was worth $1,000 more,

I guess the question is: what's the 10 year warranty worth to the customer?

The costumer already get the 5y and 60,000, I think you meant to say: what's the additional 5y or 40,000 miles worth to the customer? Right?

Yup. Same idea.

I think the Kia warranty is transferable, which would make the Mitsu non transferable warranty NOT the best. Of course the best warranty is the one you never use.
