Can I buy a new Mitsubishi Lancer?

Hi,

Would it be a mistake to buy a new Mitsubishi Lancer, as I read that production would not be continued and parts might not be available?

Hi F D,

No, there’ll be no issue on spare parts. There’s an EU directive that states that a car manufacturer must provide spare parts backup for all models for up to 15 years following the cessation of production. On top of which, Mitsubishi in Ireland currently offers an eight-year warranty on all its vehicles, so not only will parts most definitely be available for the Lancer in that period, chances are you won’t even be charged if you need them. The only issue could come further down the line, if specific parts become scarce, but that’s a long way’s off.
