the people who say "they always need something" are incorrect. The reason why they always need something is because they are enthusiasts. If you do regular maintenance and DGAF everything else then you're basically fine for life. although the motors are old and the rubber seals/gaskets will wear out with or without driving so just keep that in mind.

Whatever, they're reliable as hell if you find one that was well taken care of and not modded.

I bought mine new and its been VERY RELIABLE. Still runs good as new since the early 90s. Mine is stock and did all the required maintenance for most of its life.
Of course today you would be buying one used so it will come down to how the previous owner(s) took care of it.
