My two cents, since I've never leased a car...
Make sure you do the research on the used value of your car. I doubt that the fact that you've paid the lease payments all this time means jack shit to the salesman.
If you turn in the car, won't they in turn sell if as a "used" vehicle?
I never understood the whole idea of leasing and then buying out the lease (unless you were paying cash). It seems silly to me to finance the car twice.
All that being said, the only advice I could offer would be to do your homework on your car's worth, don't make any snap decisions, and be prepared to walk away if the salesman is an asshole (which you indicate he is) with nothing to show for the past however many years.
Good luck.
