+1 for what Zagotoes says.
Depreciation is the biggest cost of car ownership. Older QPs are depreciating gently now.
There is no way you can ever, even with the best man-maths in the world, justify a QP as an economical car but by way of a personal anecdote I've had mine for eighteen months now and nothing has gone wrong with it and service costs are reasonable at an indie.
I would endorse all the above comments on getting an inspection. Buy wisely because what may appear to have a cheap sticker price might need a service, VED, new tyres and perhaps a clutch; they can add up very quickly. A dearer one with everything in good condition will give you at least a year's cost free motoring - apart from copious amounts of petrol of course.
