I bought my 87 900T for about 4500 in 93 with 133k on it and although it only cost me a couple hundred the first year (excluding consumables like tires and brakes), I have since spent (big pieces only) 4200 on engine rebuild and trans replacement, maybe 1200 on front a-arm replacement, shocks(twice) tie rod ends, new steering rack, new front wheel bearings, new cv joint boots, and most recently 1200 on body work (new front fenders left and right). And the car now has 240k on it. But it's still cheaper than a new Corolla!
Bottom line is the car will continue to cost a lot relative to a new camry or lexus maintenance cost but will probably end up with lower total cost since you don't have the high initial capital cost. And arguably the SPG is more fun to drive than a camry. It's certainly more distintive...you won't see yourself coming and going all the time.
