Why is my Tundra lease buyout $10k higher for the dealer to purchase

Hey everyone

I am month 21/24 of my 2 year 2019 Toyota Tundra lease through USBank down in Socal. It’s a great truck and have been very lucky to have payments around $300/mo. The truck only costs me about ~$8k over the total 2 years after drive off, a steal for a 4wd truck.

Why is my negotiated price only $37k but a dealers negotiated price $46k

The other option is I purchase it and sell it to him but I don’t want to pay sales tax in CA next year on my taxes.

Is there a way to take advantage of my position in this hot used vehicle market or do the banks have this figured out?
