Now *THIS* has to be the worst lease agreement ever
I know most lease purchase programs suck, but not all, I have worked with some that give the guy a chance. Here is a deal, not from a carrier but from a 3rd party finance company and it is the worst I have seen, EVER.
This is a story I am working on for "TurnAround" The Buyer has horrible credit, so the finance company turns him down, they then forward his app to their truck rental program. Here is what he ended up with. 1998 Volvo 770 845,000 miles I did some research, average price on the street $23,633 lowest price for same year and mileage $17,500 He signed a rental agreement for $559.99/week for 261 weeks with $4,000 down If he finishes the agreement, he will pay $150,157 for the truck which equates to 136% interest If he walks away he will be charged .25 a mile for all miles over 2000 miles per week. Don't miss the show to find out what will happen with this one. Amazing.

You see, I am far from a perfect human being, but I just couldn't do something like that. There always will be and has been some fool looking to give away their money, but I think most here wouldn't take it.
And the funny thing is you could tell the guy no and try and help him by improving his credit and probably he wouldn't listen anyway and would still insist on giving away their money. Just recently I attempted to help someone with their credit and actually put him on one of my cards (I didn't give him the card and I had never done that before for anyone else and would be loath to do it again) and he kept doing stupid things and so off he went. People are their own worst enemy.

This seems to be written knowing the guy has ZERO chance of completing the agreement. They probably force the lessee to sign an extended warranty so they are home free if the motor blows.
And for all we know, the mans credit WAS good enough to buy something with 20% cash down. Ive seen some real cockroaches get financed in the years spent in F&I. Here, you are trusting the seller. Always a dubious thing to do. But in a world where 75 people jump off the Golden Gate Bridge each year, we cannot be surprised a few are going to sign their financial suicide .
