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 lease payment is 286 € per month for a term of 48 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 instalment must also be supplemented by the ancillary costs, e.g. transfer and registration. With this offer, however, nothing more is added in this respect. If you divide the total costs (leasing costs + fixed costs = 46992 €) by the number of months (48 months in this offer), you get the monthly effective costs. If you then divide this amount by the gross list price of 95390 €, 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 carried privately. Due to the monthly leasing rate of 286 €, the VW Golf VIII GTI DSG is already one of the quite expensive vehicles on German roads. 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 48 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), are according to the performance of the vehicle 167 € monthly. Added to this are insurance costs of 112 € per month, a reasonable lump sum considering the gross list price of 34690 €. A plus point with this offer: There are no transfer / registration costs to one. The final assessment of this offer: The costs per kilometer are rather high at 1.38 €, 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 48 months).
