btw, if you turn the car in early, you lose. then they don't have to abide by what they said the car was going to be worth, and the mileage and everything else about the car could end up costing you big time.
just so you know, books have been written about the dealership experience and what to look for and all of that. one whole chapter was devoted to leases because they can be so complex and involved (in one book i read). unless you really know what you are doing, you can't read a lease agreement and know exactly how much the car is costing you for the time that you have the use of it. never turn a car in early is all the advice i can give you at this point. you want to stay out of the hole you just dug yourself out of, right? keep moving in a positive direction and all of that.
