Fax them at the very least. Phoning would be a better idea. I dont think theyre going to take quotes over email too seriously...

Just to let you know, less and less US dealers are willing to sell to Canadians. This might be an explanation as to why they haven't replied to your emails.
A few months ago, I emailed plenty of dealers in the States (not Mitsubishi) and they have said they're not allowed to sell to Canadians. For example, Mazda USA has a policy set in place to protect their Canadian counter parts from us buying in the States and importing it. If a dealer does decide to you, they may risk their license altogether. I have a feeling Mitsubishi is the same way.
Also, I'm not sure if you already know, if you buy your Lancer from the States and bring it up, you warranty will NOT be honoured.
Check this site:

It also has a bunch of other manufacturers and whether they honour US bought cars in terms of warranty.
In my opinion, I don't think it's worth that saved $5000 to buy in the States and lose the 10 year warranty. It's a huge risk to take and a huge lose in terms of aftersales maintenance and care. I'd go the route that a previous member suggested and retrofit the navi yourself.
Just my $0.02 from a fellow Canadian
Good luck!

Will the warranty still be honored in the US since I bought it there? ..., but use the car in Canada?
