If you do, the lease is null and void and converted to a purchase contract. If you still want to lease, track it and trash it all you want, you can do that but when the lease is up, you're not returning it to us. You're buying it." Not sure what the benefits are with this vs. a regular purchase but I'm guessing it's tax related.

Evey lease is the same. There is a residual value at the end of a lease and you either pay the residual or return the car. If you know you want to buy out the car in the end you might up the monthly lease payment to reduce the residual. Its pretty basic.

That's what I always thought. At the end of the lease, pay the residual or return the car to the dealer. But based on this from WantA997 it doesn't sound like they're all the same:

As I read it, he's making a distinction between a regular lease and a lease "structured as a lease-to-own" so it appears to be some differences between the two.

I’ve never seen a lease to own structure that I liked. Other than a property mortgage (bank loan) of course, since the bank owns the property until it’s paid off.
