2019 Tiguan SEL

I currently lease a 2016 VW Passat SE - MSRP was $27K. Looking to lease new 2019 Tiguan SEL - MSRP $34,475. Dealership I’m currently leasing under has the model I want for $29,476 after $4,999 dealers incentives. Since my current car has less than 15,000 miles, I know I have some equity.
I’m looking for advice on getting the best price on the new lease and keeping my monthly payments at or lower than what I am at now ($292 - I paid $0 down & $0 first mos payment in 2016).
Thank you!

And, I'd confirm that the price you see is valid for leases; often, those incentives are valid for purchase only.
Are you guessing you have equity, or do you have a buy bid from CarMax or something similar for a price higher than the residual value?
