You drive 2,500 km more per year than the offer assumes. The brand's price for the extra distance: SEK 168 a month. Volkswagen Privatleasing: Golf Sportscombi Life Edition 1.5 eTSI 150 DSG, 36 months, 10,000 km a year, servicing included, variable payment that follows interest rates. Set-up fee SEK 495 and invoice fee SEK 59 a month. Source: privatleasing.volkswagen.se, read on 26 October 2026, valid until 31 October 2026.

Buying: SEK 358,500 for a new car in the same version, and SEK 249,854 back when you sell it after 3 years. The residual value is based on ad prices for 3-year-old cars, adjusted because you drive 37,500 km in 3 years instead of the typical 55,000 km. The interest is what the money costs: interest on a car loan, or the interest you miss on savings. Fuel, insurance and tax are the same either way. Excess mileage and abnormal wear are charged when you hand back a leased car, and trading in a car you own at a dealer usually gets you less than the ad price.
