Yea, you are describing leasing, which is a totally different thing.

If you would try these shenanigans in a regular contract, your company would be a) sued to the ground b) don't sell one car...

Legally speaking, no. Leasing and this type of contract (called "long term rent") are differents things here were I live even if the end result looks very similar.

If you would try these shenanigans in a regular contract, your company would be a) sued to the ground b) don’t sell one car…

a) not sure about that.
b) I would not bet on that.
