Sounds like a PITA with private leasing over there, in Finland private leasing of car hasn't really become popular yet but it's growing, in neighbour country Sweden it's the opposite, probably is more common than buying.
I calculated it's expensier for me to lease than buy with my very modest driving needs (very short distance between work and home and to nearby groceries) although I expect it to slightly change with upcoming Raval VZ.
(not having to pay for expensive fuel and electricity is cheap in Finland obviously has a huge impact, I have a static cost of around ~9 cents kWh day and 7.xx something nighttime which is among the better offers you'll find here when it comes to non-spot price contracts so I calculated it's only something 3€ or whatever per typical charge. compared to paying ~2.4 €/l currently in fuel
