Hi Mike,
As we've said here many times before, it's very difficult to calculate the true ruinning costs for a vehicle of this age. On newere vehicles, depreciation is the biggest component and a vehicle such as this would be $1.07 per km if the vehicle was around 3 years old. A 17 / 18 year old vehicle has altrady depreciated significantly, so the true running cost may only be around half this rate.
