How to Lease a Mitsubishi in Waterford, PA
At Auto Express Mitsubishi, we understand that buying a car isn't the right choice for everyone. That's why we're here to walk you through leasing, a flexible option that might be perfect for your lifestyle and budget.
What Is Leasing?
Think of leasing as a long-term rental. Instead of purchasing a vehicle outright, you're essentially paying to use it for a set period, typically two to three years. You make monthly payments, enjoy driving a new Mitsubishi around Waterford, and at the end of your lease term, you simply return the vehicle to us.
Why Our Customers Choose to Lease
Many of our customers love leasing because it offers lower monthly payments compared to financing a purchase. Since you're only paying for the vehicle's depreciation during your lease term rather than its entire value, you can often drive a higher-trim Outlander or Eclipse Cross for less than you'd pay monthly to buy a base model. Leasing also means you're always driving something new and under warranty. Every few years, you can upgrade to the latest model with the newest safety features, technology, and fuel efficiency. No need to worry about expensive repairs or declining resale value.
Understanding Your Lease Terms
When you lease from us, we'll discuss several key factors. Your monthly payment depends on the vehicle's price, the lease term length, your down payment, and the predicted residual value. We'll also set a mileage limit, typically 10,000 to 15,000 miles per year. If you drive more than that during your Route 97 commute, we can adjust your lease accordingly, though it will increase your monthly payment.
What Happens at Lease End?
As your lease term wraps up, you have options. You can return the vehicle and walk away, lease a brand-new Mitsubishi, or purchase your current vehicle if you've fallen in love with it. We'll inspect the car for excess wear and tear. Normal wear from everyday use is expected and covered, but significant damage may incur additional charges.
Is Leasing Right for You?
Leasing works beautifully if you enjoy driving a new car every few years, prefer predictable monthly expenses, drive a moderate number of miles annually, and don't want the hassle of selling or trading in a vehicle later. It's particularly popular among professionals who want reliable transportation without long-term commitment. However, if you drive extensively, want to customize your vehicle, or prefer to own your car outright eventually, purchasing might suit you better. Our team in the Finance Department will be happy to compare both options side by side so you can make the best decision before your next trip to Smith Tract Nature Preserve.

Testimonials
“ Staff members are friendly and respectful. Worked together to make sure they could meet our needs. ”
“ Everyone there was very friendly and helpful without feeling like they were just trying to make a sale. ”
“ Started with googling used cars online to getting a great deal on a Nissan Rogue at Auto Express Mitsubishi. Henry was a great car rep. As a new used car buyer Henry explain everything and made sure I understood what was going on. He kept me up to speed on and helped me through everything. Although it was snowing we still got a selfie! ”
“ Ethan was great at Auto Express. Not only did he explain everything in detail, he answered any questions we had and listened closely to our needs. ”
“ We went to this year’s Auto Show in hopes of seeing what was available with Mitsubishi. We met Ethan and set a time to meet up at the new dealership with him a few days later. Ethan was very helpful in the buying process, as was Mindy in the financial department. We also have had positive experiences with Kevin and the service department team when needing to get our other Mitsubishi cars serviced. ”
“ Henry came in on his day off to get my car ready for me to pick up and to make sure the process was complete! He was friendly and helpful through the entire process and answered many questions. Being etremely helpful and accommodating and rearranging his personal schedule allowed me to spend my day off with my family and not make and extra 2hr round trip to Erie to get my new car! Thank you, you are appreciated 👏!! ”
“ On Monday February 23 I went to auto express kia. They weren't much help. So I went next door to auto express mitsubishi. Let me tell you the salesman Ethan pettis helped me get approved and into a 2014 ford fusion energi titanium. Over the passed few days this car has been amazing. They were so friendly getting me into something. Definitely 5 stars to them and I recommend them to anyone. ”
“ If you haven’t stopped up here to view their new and used inventory, you have to check it out. My son was in the market for a used vehicle and found a great selection of vehicles. His salesperson Henry Aldrete was absolutely the greatest person to work with. I’d ask that you seek him out. He listened and asked good questions to help us reach a great choice. He understands the customer and was not pushy at all. In fact he honestly wants this to be a win-win proposition. Every step of the process was smooth and effective. You can trust him. ”
“ Thanks for going above and beyond to work out my deal. ”
“ Excellent ,no pressure auto dealership. Ted was great and gave us a great deal. If your car shopping give these folks a chance to put you in a great ride. Don't forget, ask for Ted ! ”
“ By far the best service I’ve had at a dealership! ”
“ Bought a KIA Sportage Nightfall from Jake on last Saturday. Couldn't have been a smoother experience. Jake was patient, informative, communicative, and incredibly helpful overall throughout the experience. Mindy was also a great help on the finance side of things. Can't recommend enough! Editing this review on 1/22/2026 to say that service department is equally as excellent as the rest of the dealership. Oil change and tire rotation were done quickly with very polite and friendly staff. The platinum is worth it! ”
“ Perfect very good and easy going almost a love affair my car my car I LOVE IT. ”
“ My daughter was on the hunt to make her first major purchase. She had been to a few different dealers. Henry was very helpful and my husband and I were impressed with how he explained everything to her. She was very happy and comfortable with her purchase! ”
“ Took my 09 Lancer in to get 3 recall orders done and inspection Penny in service was upmost the best person to work with everything was done in a timely manner and handled with ease will definitely be coming back soon for all my service needs ”
“ Service was great thanks to Jeff at first he didn't think I could get my oil changed the same day. He told me to wait a minute while he went back to the garage he talked to someone came back out and told me they could get me in the same day while I was there. Once everything was said and done Jeff came back out handed me my keys as he did that he told me they replaced the battery in my key control for free it actually shocked me I was very appreciative. I asked him a few questions he answered them for me and told me if I have any more questions to call up there amd ask for him by name and he will help me the best he can. Thank Jeff I appreciate you my good man ”
“ Wonderful place to get a car from, definitely lovely people. They worked with me getting both of my cars from here. ”
“ I can’t say enough good things about my experience. When no bank would approve my loan and I was starting to lose hope, this salesman didn’t give up on me. He took the time to really listen to my situation, explored every possible option, and worked tirelessly to make it happen. Thanks to his patience, honesty, and determination, I was able to drive away in a car when I thought it just wasn’t possible. He treated me with respect the entire time and never made me feel judged. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and goes the extra mile for their customers, this is the person to see. I Highly recommend Jake ! Thanks again Jake ! ”
“ Excellent customer service! ”
“ Very clean the ppl very friendly ”
“ If you’re looking for a new vehicle, you need to stop in there and ask for Jacob. Great experience and took no time at all for us to drive away in our new Outlander. ”

“ Staff were great, helpful. Work was done quickly. Nice waiting area ”
“ Great service! ”
“ Not easy to see the sign from the road but you will see the Mitsubishi's lined up and figure it out. Once I got a service person on the line it was easy to schedule something soon based on my schedule. The Service Writer was the best. I appreciate her advice and reminding me about my inspection in Dec and that I could do it early. She also called my Insurance company to get me a new copy of my insurance card. Waiting room is small and only a few tables if you need to work. Snacks and coffee available. You will be disrupted if there is a sale happening because you are right on top of the sales team. Service was quick and no surprises and they looked into my warranty/ free service items to see if my plan was still in effect from my purchase last year from the other dealership. Wasn't but prices very reasonable. I didn't feel like I was getting gouged. Would have liked it washed or a voucher to a car wash place down the street but ya can't have everything. ”
“ Everyone was friendly and I had very positive experience. I love my new 2025 Mitsubishi Outlander SE AWD ”
“ OUTSTANDING sales team at Auto Exppress Mitsubishi . From Jake my saleaman to Mindy the Finance manager . First time in my 50 years of purchasing a new auto that I did not feel "hustled" nor did I have to "pull teeth" to get a really great deal. This is my 3rd Mitsubishi purchase in 6 years . Great product . Thanks . Mike ”

“ Excellent service..front desk was very friendly..wait time was relatively short..will definitely return ”
“ I had a great experience at Auto Express Mitsubishi with Ethan On my purchase of a brand new Outlander SEL! Thank you!!! ”
“ Jake was great to work with. We got a deal done on a 2022 Edge for a great price. This is my second time buying from Auto Express and I will definitely be returning. ”
“ I had a rattle noise from the front of the car, most likely a heat shield ( which I discussed with the tech ) I was told it was in the rear wheel ? Paid $300 and heard the same rattle noise on my way home. Did I really need the $300 repair? This was 5 weeks after my state inspection, which they did. ”
“ I paid Cash Money for a 2025 Outlander... I'm sorry I didn't look at other Dealerships... This Dealership gives you nothing!!! They don't offer Free Oil changes... No Free Inspections...Hell I didn't even get Carpet that was listed on the Window Sticker...... Buyer Beware!!! ”
“ They sold me a bad van and they knew it had problems I traded a 2014 impala for a van cause I needed more room my car was great they rushed the sale and said how good the van was they lied my car was in great shape but a little small yes my stupid mistake but I trusted them I only went out to see the van I was not really ready to buy they talked me into it they made my appointment for 4 when they close at 5 everything was rushed they didn’t even do all the switching over they made me do it I never had to do all that they ripped me off now I’m stuck with all these repairs by the way it was on a Saturday that why they told me they could not switch it over never buy from them never go on. Saturday never go at closing I wished I’d had walked out they knew that van had problems don’t go by looks or low mileage the dealer ship is no good I’m 62 they took advantage of me now I have all these costs please don’t shop there. ”
“ Recently, we bought a Nissan Rouge at the Mitsubishi dealership. We were fortunate enough to get Jake Kolodziejczak as our sales specialist! Jake not only worked with us to find the best deal that fit our needs, he made sure the deal was complete by getting us the retractable cargo cover that went with our vehicle! Jake made the whole process feel comfortable without being pushy and he even remembered the name of our son! I honestly can't recommend the Mitsubishi brand, but I can recommend the sales team. Thank you, Auto Expresd Mitsubishi! ”
