I’m in SoCal.
You can try to hack something for $300/month and transfer your current lease to someone else and pocket ~$3k. Just need to put in some time and effort.
You have a very nice vehicle at an attractive price. I doubt you have any real equity if trying to trade it in. You could probably get out of the leased via transfer but then you need to find something else for less. Buying something with a lower payment puts you in a much lower vehicle class. If there is no equity, would you still want to exit the lease?
