Find out the projected monthly maintenance cost for one VW Golf VIII Variant R 4MOTION DSG with tax, running costs, insurance and workshop costs.
If you are planning to lease a VW Golf VIII Variant R 4MOTION DSG, you may need to consider not only the regular lease payments, but also the other costs incurred. For this offer, for example, transfer costs in the amount of 0 €.
With a lease term of 24 months and a monthly lease payment of 285
€ with 10000 km mileage per year, there are fixed leasing costs of 6990 €. Insurance costs for the VW Golf VIII Variant R 4MOTION DSG are quite reasonable at around 122 € per month, especially for drivers with a high no-claims class.
The monthly tax is only 20 due to the CO2 pricing introduced in 2021, which takes more account of environmentally harmful emissions. The low depreciation of 524 € / month (for use over 5 years) for the VW Golf VIII Variant R 4MOTION DSG is not a factor in mileage leasing, but is an advantage in residual value leasing. On average, the VW Golf VIII Variant R 4MOTION DSG trades for 51880 €, the offered vehicle has a gross list price of 55540 €.
The lease payment is 285 € per month for a term of 24 months, so it is an average-priced offer. Can we still talk about a leasing deal for the VW Golf? 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 150 €. Dividing the total costs (leasing costs + fixed costs = 6990 €) by the number of months (for this offer: 24 months) gives the monthly effective costs. If you then divide this amount by the gross list price of 55540 €, you get the leasing factor. This VW Golf results in an effective lease factor of 0.52, so it's a relatively inexpensive lease vehicle and a real lease 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. With a monthly leasing rate of 285 €, the VW Golf VIII Variant R 4MOTION 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 . The cost of operating the vehicle, a combustion engine, i.e. the cost of fuel (and for diesel additionally Adblue), amount to just 175 € monthly, as the vehicle is very economical. In addition, there are insurance costs of 122 € per month, which is quite a low amount but of course mainly due to the low gross list price (55540 €) and the vehicle size. A plus point with this offer: the transfer and registration costs are a slim 150 € ( one-time). The final assessment of this offer: The costs per kilometer are rather high at 0.7 €, but if you consider the effective leasing factor of 0.52, it quickly becomes clear - for admittedly a lot of money, you get a lot of car here. A real deal recommendation!.
The previous costs are now summed and divided by the number of inclusive kilometers (10000 km multiplied by the term 24 months).
