That's just their way of getting you as a return customer. It's the crunching numbers game. If they notice that you are well under the allowed mileage, you have a lot of lease equity. Basically that equity will cover the early termination fee, if there is one applicable. The rest would be used for a down payment, and if you have a lot of equity (low miles) on the lease turn-in you can end up with some low monthly payments.
The most important factor is how much mileage you have under what was agreed upon. This was the case when I ended a Scion xD lease after 1 year and only put 6000 miles out of the 12,000.
