Thanks for all the suggestion so far. It has made decision-making a little easier knowing the available options and scenarios. The take-over-a-lease deal sounds a little too complicated with the requisite paperwork and all. Leaning toward a simpler deal.
Jim, I think I'll try your suggestion and contact some new or used car dealers; explain her temporary job situation and see if they're open to a used car sale and buyback type of deal. If they're cool to the idea, ask them for suggestions.
Since the most variable element is selling it, a worst case scenario is we donate the car to a charity (Red Cross, Salvation Army, etc.) and write off the donation on our taxes.
There's also the option of bringing (drive or transport) the VA car to CA after completing her summer job. From some research, registering a 49 state car in CA shouldn't be a problem as long as it passes a smog test. There may also be a smog impact fee to pay.
