Default Just leased my winter beater but unhappy?

I recently leased an 04 v6, 6-sp accord coupe from Colerain Honda in Cinn. The car was leased through AHF. I like it but wished i had bought an evo instead given our recent columbus winters. Has anyone had experience breaking a lease, and how big of a hit I might take.

They'll hold you to all the lease payments. Call and see what they'll take as a payoff. From there all you can really do is sell it. If there's a difference between the proceeds of the sale and the payoff, you'll have to make that up with cash. You're probably looking at losing $3-5k.

To get out of the lease, you are responsible for the residual and the remaining payments and some lease companies also have a penalty. You will loose your A#$. AHF will let the lease be reassigned though. Go to lease trader.com. There are lots of AHF leased cars out there. Lots of leased S2000 available also.

I advise you not to do anything at this point. lease is designed to keep people during the payment period.
You will lose alot of money.
