Not until they buy them outright at the end of the lease. If they trade it in then they still have to sell it so it really hadn't been sold. Just borrowed for a bit. Just kinda rambling now haha. Well I said it.
Yeah, not sure.

I know BMW was caught end of 2012 using some funny math. They allegedly sold 281,460 units, but only 268,498 new BMW vehicles were actually registered.
