Hi there, could you tell me the current all inclusive running costs for a Toyota Hiace 2000 3.0l Diesel, and a Toyota Hiace 1997 2.8l diesel. thanks.

There is no way of knowing for sure the running cost on older vehicles such as these. We carry out calculations on vehicles at 3-5 years of age, where depreciation is the major factor. Obviously, older vehicles have already depreciated significantly, so the running cost is reduced. Therfore, the only way to calculate for certain on an old vehicle is to keep a logbook of all costs associated with the vehicle.
However, to give you a starting point, the AA calculation on a 2.8 to 3.0 litre diesel vehicle is 83c per km.
FYI, the IRD rate is 77c per km across all vehicles, but IRD limit this to 5000km per year and logbooks must be kept.

Awesome, thanks for that.
