jsut from what i've heard about when i was buying my NA. Its all about the condition you find the car in. If it has been maintained then it will LAST. But if it has been abused and poorly maintained then it will need alot of work and the work on these things is expensive if you dont do it yourself. Shops take anywhere from 45-90 an hour. Depending on where you live and all. $45 is pretty rare. I live neer boston ma and i got a shop in town that takes 80, and one a little far from here that takes 60.

Also just from experience with my car so far. Alot of little things go....like my hatch release, the electric one just stopped working, odometer, light inside the car, speedo sometimes turns off. Nothing big but stuff just needs refreshing since the car is old.

But even with all the crap and the expensive work, i cant imagine driving something else, i love this car. Even if its an NA and doesn't have all that much power, its fun to drive.
