buying company car

I had a quote to buy my company car (2006 citroen berlingo 49000 miles) from the lease company in october last year. The quote was £3600. I had a quote today, 6th Jan and the price has gone up to £4279 !! I can't quite believe that there had been such an increase in a couple of months. Surely the valuation should have gone down. Can anyone out there justify the increase for me?

    Maybe they wanted it off the books before year end and now the markets flat they have put the price up to try their luck.

    Looking on Autotrader, searching for a 2006 Berlingo uk wide under 60k starts from £3500 so I would walk.

    find out where the lease company dispose of them if not sold to current users - probably a local auction house, so go and buy it back at auction (for around 2750 if lucky)
    The questions that get the best answers are the questions that give most detail....
