After 36 months I either give the car back and we're done or I finance the 20k fixed residuals or just pay the 20k cash if possible. If used car obviously very stupid to give it back.
This is on new but also used cars, so you can also get a car that doesn't depreciate as much as a new one.
Interesting example for me is a Volvo S/V60 polestar which were 65k new in Sweden, can now be had for 32k.
32k
10k/32% down
36months
50%residual
210 dollar/month
3% interest

We absolutely have this in the States but we call it "leasing". A lease is the same sort of financial arrangement you describe.
