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 🙃)

It could be a case of out of the frying pan and into the fire for those rejected lease cars that haven't been set up correctly by one offending dealer(s), so it appears who then pass it on via a lease company for onward use. Those cars will probably be sorted out and leased out one suspects.

Obviously a disappointment for those that didnt get a smooth rental of a car. Seems to be a question of dealer workmanship whether it's lease or bought if they dont follow Cupras commissioning instructions. Thank James for throwing light on it.
