>>I bought my erstwhile company car nearly three years ago...
My last couple of employers have been using dreadful lease companies.
Both colleagues and myself have tried to buy their company cars and have been met with best prices significantly in excess of newer and lower mileage showroom equivalents that come with some of the manufacturers warranty remaining.
I think I mentioned elsewhere that the current lease company's salary sacrifice scheme is more expensive then retail on some models and the same as retail on other models, even after taking 40% tax off. Despite them heavily advertising on internal websites / email, I think they either don't want the business or are just plain profiteering to those that don't want to shop around.
