Did you know? Immediately available vehicles like this one are usually a bit more expensive than order vehicles, because here the dealer calculates a surcharge for the storage / display of the vehicle into the offer.
The leasing rate is 166 € per month with a term of 36 months, so the offer is basically cheap to begin with. But is this VW Golf a leasing deal? The decisive factor is the leasing factor, which is calculated by dividing the leasing rate by the gross list price.
To the monthly leasing rate must also be added the additional costs, such as transfer and registration. With 1250 €, the dealer makes here again a neat surcharge. Dividing the total costs (leasing costs + fixed costs = 7226 €) by the number of months (for this offer: 36 months) gives the monthly effective costs. If you then divide this amount by the gross list price of 39160 €, you get the leasing factor. With this VW Golf results in an effective leasing factor of 0.76, therefore it is a good value leasing vehicle and a good leasing deal.
However, since this is a year-old car, so in fact a used car, the calculation is based on the purchase price rather than the gross list price.

The costs per kilometer are decisive in kilometer leasing, especially if they have to be borne privately. The VW Golf VIII 1.5 TSI ACT R-Line, with a monthly leasing rate of 166 €, is already a rather inexpensive car. When calculating the costs per kilometer, however, a distinction should still be made between a rather short leasing period (2 - 3 years) and a longer one (4 - 6 years). For simplicity, we ignore this difference in the following calculation example and assume a lease term of 36 months at the most favorable lease price . With the VW Golf, the monthly vehicle tax is very low at 9 €. The cost of operating the vehicle, a combustion engine, i.e. the cost of fuel (and for diesel additionally Adblue). are average 120 € monthly. Added to this are insurance costs of 88 € per month, which is basically a moderate cost considering the gross list price of 39160 €. In the transfer and registration, the dealer of this offer must apparently increased effort, the cost of which is 1250 €. The final assessment of this offer: this offer can be accepted with a clear conscience at a cost per kilometer of 0.24 € and the effective leasing factor of 0.76.
The previous costs are now summed and divided by the number of inclusive kilometers (10000 km multiplied by the term 36 months).
