I find it bizarre. For a regular old ~35 year old used car, sure, a check engine light or inop system wouldn't be weird. But for a car that is that special and expensive, I'd assume that it would be kept in good working order.
I guess from one point of view, if you can afford to buy it, then you can afford to fix it, but the other side of that coin is if you own it, then you should be able to afford to get the thing fixed. It's not like its an '87 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. I would be surprised to find a McLaren F1 or Ferrari F40 with a bunch of broken stuff for sale.
