Could you please tell me the per km running costs of the above car?

The AA rate for a 2.5 litre car is 78.8c per km. However, as we've said many times on this forum, that is based on a 3 year old car where the capital tied up in the car and the depreciation are the most significant costs. A 17 year old car has depreciated about as far as it will go, so there's virtually no depreciation. Therefore, I'd guess the true running cost of this car is probably about 35c - 40c per km.
