Buy a cheap car and chances are running costs will ALWAYS go over the cost of the car. Thats just how it is (which i think Tom has finally learnt 
).
With a used car, you can never know when or why it will go wrong. Take your dads BM for example. 120k should be nothing for a turbo but you don't know whats happened in the past with that car. Some dick may have been working on it and dropped something down the inlet which its ingested.
Its like 306s. Some get them and never have to do anything other than routine maintenance. Some get them and have them on the back of a RAC lorry every 5 minutes. Buying used no matter what age is a risk. Like, i feel so sorry for who ever buys my kia from auction this time next year and that will only be a 3 year old car lol
