I bought my Crossfires to drive, look at, clean and polish and to work on. They are designed to be serviced. I do the service. My battery cost is under $100. my oil change is under $50, Mobil 1 15/50. Then there is Waxoyl, On steel, wiring, leather seats and fabric top. No rust/deteroration . I do have a hoist, tools and experience. It's fun. Brakes are easy. Gary
