However the larger/more expensive parts of the kit are generally fairly reliable, even secondhand so it tends to be the smaller/cheaper bits that can fail or aren't reliable when used secondhand. On that basis, if i use your figures and say 3k miles a year at 30mpg, that would be about £600/year on petrol or about £300/year on LPG representing a payback time of 1 year - after that it's all reduced running costs and an important thing to consider if the car is a "keeper". Buying new and having it fitted, you're probably looking at about 5 times the cost so obviously, 5 years payback time. Again, after that, you're saving about £300/year at current prices.
