Default SQ5 Lease swap?

Anyone had any luck with a lease swap or recommend any sites that work? I have a 2018 SQ5 that I want to turn into a new E Tron. Im going to eat about 5-10k in negative equity if I trade it in so was considering looking for someone who would want to inherit a lease? Otherwise amazing car and if I had ANY idea an E-Tron was coming just a few months later would not have picked this one up as a lease.

Based in CT, open to any ideas and suggestions. thanks all! (lease in CT with taxes is $808 per month, 22/23 months remaining on lease. Has Audi Care + tire/ wheel warranty and damn is it fun to drive)

Residuals and money factor on the eTron look horrific. You will be paying $3-400 more per month on the lease for a car that isn’t as fast.

Just picked up an SQ5 yesterday and love it. You’ve got all the right options on the SQ5 - enjoy it and wait for the leases on the eTron to make sense after a few years. We were thinking about the eTron too until we saw that Audi had no confidence in their residuals.

Its mostly what my wife drives but we do swap cars sometime. I like the idea of going all Electric soon. Hopefully a GT for me and an Etron SUV for her

Also I believe Audi doesnt let you off the hook for the responsibility of the car. You can transfer, but if its wrecked you are still liable.
