The leasing rate is 139 € 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.
The monthly leasing rate must also be supplemented by ancillary costs, e.g. transfer and registration. However, these costs are kept within limits with this offer at 360 €. Dividing the total costs (leasing costs + fixed costs = 5364 €) 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 22000 €, you get the leasing factor. With this VW Golf results in an effective leasing factor of 0.68, 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 Variant 1.5 TSI Life, with a monthly leasing rate of 139 €, 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 7 €. The cost of operating the vehicle, a combustion engine, i.e. the cost of fuel (and for diesel additionally Adblue). amount only 117 € per month, because the vehicle simply does not need much energy either. Added to this are insurance costs of 88 € per month, which is basically a moderate cost considering the gross list price of 22000 €. A plus point with this offer: the transfer and registration costs are a slim 360 € ( one-time). The final assessment of this offer: this offer can be accepted with a clear conscience at a cost per kilometer of 0.18 € and the effective leasing factor of 0.68.
The previous costs are now summed and divided by the number of inclusive kilometers (10000 km multiplied by the term 36 months).
