Someone I knew in the used car business told me that it was not unusual for a single car to be sold and repossessed multiple times. Each time, the dealer pocketed the down payment, which was typically more than they had originally paid for the car.

Some trucking companies require you to lease your truck. If you get fired before you paid off the lease you dont't get to keep the truck. Barely anyone stays around long enough and if they do the boss can just fire them before the lease ends.
