It's not uncommon to be able to sell a leased vehicle, many lease contracts allow it. Similar in concept to being able to sell a car that you are still making payments on even though the bank is a co-owner (technically a lien-holder)
Last month wife careened off the garage door frame and smashed into our new Clarity, only a week after purchase. Lots of body damage in the rear, lots of welding and parts replacement at an insurance cost of $14,300 (plus $7,200 damage to the garage). Took 3 1/2 weeks. Seems like they did a great job at the dealer body shop. The shop guys were impressed with the solid construction, especially the protection built around the big battery.
