The Lancer Evolution IX Wagon:

has me interested. I've already written to Mitsubish asking when it
will come to the USA.

Still, I have to know one thing: Can owners buy a full set of factory
service manuals for current models, with listings of all the fault
codes that may be produced by any computer in the car?

I'd consider replacing my 94 Volvo 850 turbo wagon with another, but
the full service data is NOT available to owners at a reasonable price
(well over $1000)

I want to know exactly what the problem is, and if I can fix it myself
BEFORE I have to take it to the dealer after the warranty is up.

If you can't Google or at the least call the dealer's parts department to
find this out, you'd best not be putting wrenches to your car.

Yes, you can get the factory manuals, they come on CD's. The one for the
eclipse is over 3000 pages long. Talk to the parts department people at
your local Mitsu dealer, or see them on line.
E-bay may be a cheaper option.
If your buying the car from a Mitsu dealer, do as I did, just before signing
all the papers I requested the manual, or it would not be a sale.
