At some leasing companies, it is possible to take over a (private) lease car at the end of the lease agreement. For many lease drivers, this is appealing because they know exactly how the car has been treated, what maintenance has been performed, in short: in what condition the car is in. Additionally, the price is often favorable because there is no external dealer involved. You buy the car directly from the leasing company, with whom you are already a customer.
However, in the case of a short-term lease car, this is generally not possible. The underlying idea of short-term leasing is that you only use the car for a short period, and then the car moves on to the next customer. When the car is a few years old, we may no longer offer it as a young used lease car and may consider selling it. However, it is not the case that the last user has the first option to purchase it.
