Privatleasing: 200-500 €/Monat (Mittelklasse). Kauf (Finanzierung): hoehere Rate aber nach Abzahlung: keine Kosten. Auto 7+ Jahre behalten: Kauf IMMER guenstiger. Geschaeftlich: Leasing steuerlich vorteilhaft (Betriebsausgabe).

Tipps

Kilometerleasing bevorzugen (planbar). Restwertleasing: Nachzahlungsrisiko. Immer Gesamtkosten vergleichen, nicht nur Monatsrate.

⚡ CalcWolf Insight

The most profitable moment in car ownership is month 37 of a paid-off car. From that point, every month you drive it saves $400-800 that would otherwise be a payment. Most people trade in far too early.
