Good day, I will need a new car soon. As I drive approx. 100km (back & forth) per working day I come (less vacation/illness/home office and plus private trips) to approx. 20,000 – 25,000 kilometers a year. Currently I drive an old used car which is now soon at the end. My requirements for a car are low, a car is like a working shoe for me: – Luggage compartment fit into the two boxes Sprudel/Beer – Air conditioning – electric window lift front – from 80 HP. – Zuverl Austere and low maintenance costs (!) Now I think about whether I should buy a used car (would invest up to max. 600€) or still (private) finance/leasing. With a used car I see the disadvantage that I get a relatively “old” car with which with some bad luck soon more wear-reperatures are standing and with a little more bad luck is what is bigger which is not covered by a guarantee. With financing/leasing I would get an almost new car. Drive it into the “carefree” times. Larger wear repairs are not pending and if the car has a defective I am in the warranty time, get a replacement car. At the leasing the idea of a “carefree package” really does not interest me cars..I only have to come with it safely from A to B. So if service, wear repairs, replacement cars are covered while the car is in the workshop etc. then this would be quite appealing for me. For the Leasin g/Financing I don’t want to pay more like 200€ a month. I looked at some leasing and financing offers. The mountain of the not visible/hidden costs and services seems large because I had no contact points with it so far. I would like to keep the duration low, 2 years. I would be interested in general what you see here and what I have to pay attention to especially with leasing/financing, what are common hidden costs? Are there currently good Leasing offers that would be worth a glance (I don’t care about the manufacturer/brand as I said). Thank you.
