Loved mine as well ('86 Quad Spider) but mine was very easy on maintenance. Owned it about 20 years, daily drove it (year-round in Boston area) for about 10 of those, and in 135K miles, it left me stranded once when a Bosch distributor broke internally. Brakes and maintenance parts were very reasonably priced, readily available, and the car was easy to maintain except for some engine bay clearance issues [when changing motor mounts and the like] due to the bodywork shape.
