Paid £300 for mine a couple of years ago and about £1000 since getting her sorted and general maintenance, i use it a daily workhorse and bar a 19 year old ubp giving up the ghost taking all off 20 mins to replace it's had bullet proof reliability so far.
Always a list of 'to do' things on a car in it's 20th year but for me none of them would affect my use of the car so it's absolutely fine as a daily user
