How much does a used Mitsubishi Pajero cost to run?
At 14,000 km a year, about $5,680 a year for the 2007–21 diesel model, $7,260 a year for the 2006–17 petrol model, $3,990 a year for the 1998–2010 petrol model and $5,860 a year for the 1999–2006 diesel model.

No, they are dealer asking prices. Dealers usually ask more than private sellers, because they sell under the Consumer Guarantees Act and price in reconditioning and a margin. A car's condition and history move its fair price too.
