    The three payments on the car that's going back DO "magically disappear".

    They don't, they still need paid. It's £900 to get out of the contract, however you account for that money.

    Unless I've missed something and she's getting those 3 payments waived.
    Yes, she is. By settling the finance. Which will cost £900.
    Exactly. It'll cost her £900, like I said.
    £900 and change car now, or three payments and keep this car for three months. Not both.

    You're confirming my point, so I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to argue.
