Too Afraid to Ask

When a car 'comes off lease,' it means the time you rented it is over, and you have to return it. This can make more used cars available for sale.

Technical Definition

When a vehicle comes off lease, it means the leasing period has ended, and the car is returned to the leasing company. This can lead to an influx of used vehicles in the market, potentially lowering prices.
