Guy is dying. Car is leased. What are the options?

Yes, I'm well aware of that. As stated earlier in the thread other lease companies are prepared to nip the thing in the bud, make it easier for the bereaved's family and take the car back as if it was the end of the term.

It wouldn't really cost them anything, and it's a good win on the PR front.

No, it's an invite for people to take the piss - if I knew I had only 6 months left, what's to stop me taking out a silly lease, with the expectation the agreement would be torn up when I died?

Not sure about you but I think if I knew I only had 6 months left I might have more important things to consider than trying tpo screw over a leasing company

For a Golf, yes. What about if you had enough money to cover 6 months' payments on a Ferrari 488?

That would only be a good idea if you didn't have any family or dependents who you'd want to benefit from your estate. I can't imagine that's the case for many people.
