It's true that you can negotiate almost anything. However keep in mind that the dealer has nothing to do with the lease return. They are not the one that lease the car to his mom (i.e. the lease was probably with Acura financing), so they have no power to waive anything.
What the dealer can do is either buy out the car, or give a discount on the new car to cover the overcharge. However at the end the OP is paying it one way or the other, since the chance of his mom getting a good deal on the next lease will be very slim.
