Kim, if you wished to buy the car at the end of the lease, you would normally inform motobility, towards the end of the lease, around 3 months? And they will ask you for the mileage, they then will get a price to you. There is no discount or negotiable terms, and they may quibble, about repairs and mots, and tyres at this point. As far as i know the dealer doesn’t get first dibs. It maybe, if you return a car to a dealer, they may decide to keep it, trade it on or auction it, depending on market conditions at the time. You could of course tell them you would be interested in buying it back and see what they say. However you are still taking a gamble on what is now and what will be in 3 years, motobility can change their policies, such as the old HP option. It’s not in their interest to sell cars, they want you to join the scheme and stay on it, just look at the expensive tv and radio ads at the present time.
