Long term costs of diesel maintenance is considerably LOWER than a petrol engine. No tune ups. And, the life of a diesel is often nearly twice that of petrol engines. You will find also that manufactureres generally give a longer warranty for their diesels because of this fact.
Yes, it depends how they are treated and maintained, of course. I am not sure I would buy a second hand Getz, knowing how somebody is likely to have driven the cr*p out of it.
