Agree with gqgambler - that doesn't add up. It's a well equipped car - what was the MSRP on it (I'm sure the person taking over will like to know.) Window sticker may help.

It sounds like you are expecting the person taking over your lease to eat your negative equity. You will need to give that $7,000 incentive to the new person - at a minimum for someone to even consider that deal. Try Leastrader or Swapalease?

Sorry to be harsh, but sometimes that's needed for someone to think realistically.

Good luck! I know it sucks having negative equity in a car, but sometimes you have to bite the bullet by either offering more incentives or keeping it. You are very early into the lease for someone to pick this over a new one. Maybe with 12 to 18 months remaining, someone may considering it as a short term lease.
