With a lease term of 24 months and a monthly lease payment of 276.08
€ with 10000 km mileage per year, there are fixed leasing costs of 12215.92 €. The insurance costs for the VW Golf VIII GTI DSG are quite expensive at around 112 € per month and the costs for novice drivers are likely to be quite a bit higher.

To the monthly leasing rate must also be added the additional costs, such as transfer and registration. With 5590 €, the dealer makes here again a neat surcharge. Dividing the total costs (leasing costs + fixed costs = 12215.92 €) by the number of months (for this offer: 24 months) gives the monthly effective costs.

The costs per kilometer are decisive in kilometer leasing, especially if they have to be borne privately. With a monthly leasing rate of 276.08 €, the VW Golf VIII GTI DSG is already somewhat expensive anyway. 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 24 months at the most favorable lease price . For the VW Golf the monthly vehicle tax averages out at 17 €. In the case of the VW Golf, the monthly vehicle tax is quite favorable at 17 €. The cost of operating the vehicle, a combustion engine, i.e. the cost of fuel (and for diesel additionally Adblue), amount to at least 157 € per month, since the vehicle of course also wants to be moved in accordance with its status. Added to this are insurance costs of 112 € per month, a reasonable lump sum considering the gross list price of 43860 €. In the transfer and registration, the dealer of this offer must apparently increased effort, the cost of which is 5590 €. The final assessment of this offer: Due to the high cost per kilometer in the amount of 0.61 EUR, and the high effective leasing factor, we can unfortunately not make a recommendation for this offer.
The previous costs are now summed and divided by the number of inclusive kilometers (10000 km multiplied by the term 24 months).
