Since I have already fallen on my nose several times in relation to the residual value, I now think about leasing (kilometer calculation). The whole becomes more calculable for me, since I do not have to worry about the later payment. The cars, the higher the additional equipment is, are, as a percentage of the list price less worth. The whole additional equipment is not taken into account to the same extent as the list price and thus pushes the percentage rest. In the private market, my vehicles usually cannot be marketed, since the residual value is still too high when sold. So I am forced to pay my used vehicle to the dealer. So even now and thus for me a leasing would only be possible with the manufacturer bank. Geleast is to be a Volvo V70 to the following basic data: Leasing agreement with mileage invoice LP 50,000 Euro gross down payment 20% leasing rate 450 Eu ro grosso LZ 48 months KM 100,000 would therefore pay about 31,000 euros for the period of 4 years. Hardly believe that I would get rid of the car to the residual value again. That would be, in relation to the list price, at 19,000 euros. Even if I would now consider a discount of 10%, still a residual value of 14,000 euros would be. This amount will probably not get me again or only hard, since on the private market nobody would pay me a 4 year old car with the running leist This is my experience so far. In my opinion, therefore, I do not have a large cost by leasing, avoid a capital commitment by cash payment and have no risk regarding the residual value. A financing would not be possible for me, since I do not want to keep the vehicle after the 4 years. Then I could also choose the cash payment option.Ha Am I missing something?
