I paid $3500 for mine with ~160k miles, and the only non-regular maintenance it has needed is a clutch master cylinder in the 30k I've owned it. I've seen several for under 3k since then, but I have no regrets. There have been other small things (check out my build thread) but it's all details, really. The drivetrain is bulletproof. I'm up to 190k and it still shifts smoothly aside from a known-design-flaw caused 3rd to 2nd downshift grind if you don't double-clutch, and burns no oil. I expect another 200k out of it, at least.
