Finance & Leasing FAQs

Q: What’s the difference between leasing and buying a Mitsubishi?
A:

  • Leasing a Mitsubishi usually means lower monthly payments, driving a newer car every few years, and staying under a mileage limit.

Our finance specialists are happy to review your driving habits and help you decide whether a Mitsubishi lease or auto loan makes more sense for you.

Q: What costs are due at signing on a Mitsubishi lease?
A: Typical up-front costs can include the first month’s payment, taxes, DMV fees, and any applicable bank or acquisition fees. In some cases, we may offer sign-and-drive or low down payment lease specials, depending on current promotions and your approval. We’ll always explain everything clearly before you sign.
