agree with the above, ppi is key and a buyer should budget a fair amount of money up front to address/resolve "deferred maintenance issues" and get the car dialed in.
However, once dialed in, these cars should be both simple and reliable. I.E., suspect you'll find the targa top to be noisy up front (it's old and relatively few folks know/knew how to properly adjust in the first place). However, once dialed in, it should stay the same and work fine for a decade.
Similarly, while the sc's cis injection system needs to be properly set up and dialed in, once working right it should continue to do so for quite some time (sensing a pattern here?)
My '86 carrera (which I'm driving over 10k miles a year), is"dialed in." I occasionally need to replace/repair stuff (such as the alternator or a leaky oil line), but since all systems are working as designed (which took some time to accomplish), maintenance now centers on oil changes and periodic replacement of other wear items (e.g. - just replaced my rear brake pads and rotors as the pads were at wear limits and the rotors had developed ridges and were at end of life specs) --
