Insurance cover:

Scaled from the NZ average comprehensive premium ($1,311/year) against this listing's $49,995 price.

Unscheduled repairs$585

What breaks between services — an estimate by vehicle age (52 years old) and a brand-tier multiplier (budget-reliable/mainstream/premium/exotic) for Chevrolet. Averaged across good years and bad — most years cost less than this, and an occasional big-ticket failure costs a lot more. This listing's 83,500km is well below the ~624,000km expected for its age, so the estimate is scaled down 10%.

Total annual running cost$8,452
