Maintaining a 912

I am interested in purchasing a 912 as a daily driver and was wondering whether they are hard and/or expensive to maintain. I appreciate any advice you can give me.

Yes, you can make it a daily driver. Sure, you may have to spend a couple hours with it every couple weeks to tweek this or that, but that's part of the owner experience.

Some like it, some don't.

Are the parts hard to find and/or expensive?
