It's always tough when buying out an existing stream of payments on an old lease. However, can't the bean counters just request another stream of payment or buyout quote on the day of delivery for the new unit (instead od using one that is two to three weeks old)?? This way if the customer made a payment in between the time of order to the time of delivery the deal can be adjusted accordingly?
It's not like we're aksing for more money, since the lease is billed in arrears the company is responsible for making that payment.
I had heard a remark that "oh the leasing company will refund them the extra payment". In my 31 years I've never had a customer that was refunded a payment from the leasing company.
