Very hard question to answer with a vehicle of this age however if you allowed for the following;

  • Average fuel consumption of 10 litres per 100km
  • Fuel use over 14,000km per year @ $2.10 per litre
  • General maintenance and repairs of approx $950 per year

    Your runnning costs alone would be around 28 cents per kilometre.

    This does not include fixed costs such as insurance, registration WoF, and interest on initial outlay (money wrapped up in the car).

I think it's $6.33 per litre and the WoF was $50 and the rego was $147 for 6 months. Thankyou for responding :)
