Hi just wondering what the running costs are for the following vehicles:
-2004 Holden Rodeo, double cab, 4x4, 3.0L
-2005 Mazda Bounty, double cab, 4x4, 2.5L
-2008 Toyota Highlux, double cab, 4x4, 3.0L
Also how do you work out the depreciation costs for these vehicles using your calculation sheet?
Regards

The AA vehicle running costs are calculated for vehicles up to five years old. There's no official vehicle running cost report for older vehicle such as yours.

However, for diesel vehicles that have a 2.5L or 3.0L motor the running costs is 81.6c/km. As your vehicles are older you should use this as a guide to negotiate a fair reimbursement rate.

The AA uses an industry acceptable vehicle valuation program to work out the average depreciation value of newer vehicles.
