The Working Man’s Truck Gets a Fair Market Value (FMV) Lease. Fuso has teamed up with Daimler Truck Financial to bring you the best alternative to vehicle ownership with the Diamond Advantage Lease Program. Our Diamond Advantage Lease Program is designed specifically for you: the small to medium-sized fleet and medium-duty customer who wants to conserve business capital and still get the newest, most reliable Fuso models1 on the market. You don’t have to put your growing business at risk by committing to the purchase of a new vehicle. With our Diamond Advantage Lease, you get into the newest trucks with little or no down payment, and you also enjoy lower monthly payments than traditional loans2. The Diamond Advantage Lease is a Fair Market Value (FMV) lease for Mitsubishi Fuso trucks. An FMV also is commonly referred to as a walkaway lease since a lessee can simply turn in the vehicle and walk away, at lease maturity, after meeting all obligations of the contract (subject to certain return conditions and mileage restrictions).

There is no acquisition fee or up-front payment and payments may be expensed against income3. With this type of lease, the lessee avoids the risks and responsibilities typically associated with vehicle ownership although the lessee can also purchase the truck at the end of the term for its current fair market value. And Diamond Advantage leased Canters are covered under Fuso’s industrybest 5-Year/175,000 Mile Powertrain warranty that protects the engine and the entire powertrain. The warranty is backed by a nationwide network of highlytrained and dedicated dealers.

Keep Your Financial Freedom The Fuso Diamond Advantage Lease is all about conserving business capital. It frees up your operating lines of credit, eases your cash flow needs and allows you to keep more money in-hand, so you can focus on running your business without all the headaches and added stress of traditional vehicle financing. There are also tax benefits3 with this type of leasing, which add up to even more money in your pocket. Here are a few of the financial advantages of our Diamond Advantage Lease Program:

Low Monthly Payments Since you pay only for the portion of the vehicle used, the monthly cost of leasing is lower than buying and financing a vehicle2.

Little or No Down Payment Diamond Advantage Leases get you into your next truck with little or no money down, providing you with the newest vehicle for the minimum cash outlay2.

Preserves Credit Freeing your operating lines of credit from down payments and high monthly payments allows you to utilize cash and credit more productively.

Regular Trade Cycles With short and regimented trade cycles, you never have to keep the same vehicle longer than you want, and you’ll always know exactly when you can trade-up for the newest model.

Fair Market Value Lease

Ownership Not Required With a lease, you aren’t stuck with the same truck forever, so you don’t have to worry about managing or maintaining aging vehicles.

Under Warranty Trucks leased and used according to the terms and conditions of the Diamond Advantage Program remain under warranty for the term of the lease.

New Vehicles This lease keeps you in the newest vehicles with the latest, most advanced features, so your business is never interrupted by product obsolescence.

Off-Balance Sheet Financing Because your vehicle is leased — and not considered a business asset — your payments can be deducted or expensed against your income3.

Cost/Benefit Matching This type of financing balances financial costs and benefits because they are limited to the length of the lease, not the lifespan of the vehicle.

Tax Benefits3 The Diamond Advantage Lease is a closed-end lease agreement intended to satisfy all the requirements of an Operating Lease for both financial accounting and income tax purposes. Your leased vehicle is not an asset, and the lease obligation is not listed as a liability on the books. Payments may be deducted or expensed against income as payments are due, and you avoid the risks and responsibilities typically associated with vehicle ownership. Fair Market Value Lease
