in 2004 i bought a used car (1999 model, 130K km)for 19,000 + change of the basics (brake pads/belts/filters/alignment/flushing/AC maintenace, etc) total spent= QR 21000. Never stalled, never broke down with regular change oil+filter every 5K + changed all tires once + paid same group of guys working in the company to check/Tune it at least every 6 months (done at home):-) at 100-200 QR and few bottles of beers.

sold it for 12k after using for 5 years .. i guess i made a right choice of getting a 2nd hand car :-)
