Mitsubishi Releases 2002 Fleet Incentives
Fleet incentives for model year 2002, effective April 15, 2001 to Dec. 31, 2002, have been released by Mitsubishi Motor Sales of America, Inc. (MMSA). The fleet incentives are designed to enable dealers to secure orders from fleet accounts who take delivery of eligible vehicles distributed by MMSA during the program period. Questions regarding eligible incentive amounts should be directed to the MMSA Fleet Department.
