Wow...that may be the earliest CVT failure anyone on this forum has ever had.
...I don't have any warranty
...they are going to ask for a good will.
...will take 2 months
...if they agree...will wait another 2 months to get the new cvt
Wow...so it will take Mitsubishi 60 days to consider a goodwill repair...then even if that works out for you, you'll be without your car for a total of 4 months?!?
...a new cvt costs 8000$ and I will only pay 2500$.
...just want to know if anyone agree with these prices, aren't they very high for a Mirage?
Are you quoting prices in US dollars?
A new CVT from a dealer is very expensive. Here in the United States, a CVT purchased from a Mitsubishi dealership will cost approximately $4500 US dollars. Add another $500 to that for installation. So a CVT replacement would cost someone in the US roughly $5,000 at a dealership. If you are getting a new CVT installed at a dealership for $2500 US dollars (and you don't have any warranty left), that is not a bad deal.
...they won't even provide me with a renting car...what are my rights here?
If you don't have any factory warranty left, they have no obligation to pay for a rental car (at least here in the US). You'd have to find other transportation on your own.
...second option is to replace my cvt with an old one at 1500$...
If time wasn't a factor, the new CVT for $2500 is the better option. Can you manage without a car for 4 months?
