Everyone has a different tolerance for maintenance costs. Everyone has different concepts of expensive vs cheap. But you're looking to buy a 36 year-old car. Anything can go south at any moment.
At the same time, I've found my 31 year-old Porsche to be quite reliable. Things generally don't break. While parts are more expensive than those for my Honda, they're not ridiculously expensive, either. The bigger problem is if parts are NLA (no longer available). Fortunately, Porsche built a lot of 911s over a lot of years, so that isn't too bad, either. In the 13 years and 40K miles I've had my car, I haven't regretted the cost of maintenence one bit. Granted, an engine or transmission rebuild can run you $5-10K, and a clutch $2-3K for a shop to do, but for just routine maintenance I can't imagine more than a few hundred dollars annually.
Good luck with your search.
