A Different Kind of Warehouse Lending

Membership has its privileges.

Now members of Sam’s Club, the warehouse retailer division of Wal-Mart Stores, can qualify for 0% financing and special lease terms on select 2009 and 2010 Mitsubishis. The offer is a link-up between Mitsubishi Motors Credit of America and the Sam’s Club Auto Buying Program.

Here are the details:

Sam’s Club members can qualify for special low lease payments on the redesigned 2010 Outlander and the all-new 2010 Lancer Sportback, or for 0% financing for 60 months on the 2009 Outlander, Lancer, Eclipse, and Eclipse Spyder, and on the 2010 Galant and 2010 Endeavor.

Savings range from $360 on the Lancer Sportback to $1,811 on the 2010 Galant, according to this web page touting the “Mitsubishi Savings Event for Sam’s Club Members.” Select Sam’s Club locations will even have some vehicles on display.

Note the fine print: The offer, which ends Feb. 1, 2010, is limited to participating Mitsubishi dealers, and purchase is capped at two vehicles per membership.

I look forward to seeing more marketing partnerships like this one crop up next year.
