If you buy one that needs work, for sure it's more expensive in the long run. I bought a well-maintained example (88) and only spend for basic maintenance and upgrades, and wear and tear items that would need replacing after 25 years (fuel lines).
That being said, it is a sports car, not a family sedan, so you don't buy 70 dollar tires and expect the buy 3 get 4 promos at Costco for example. And my independent mechanic's hourly rate is still higher than my Toyota dealership's. But I only go once a year. Twice if I need some off cycle job done. And if you can DIY you save a ton more.
