I had the same worries when I bought mine 5 years ago. Trust me no need to worry. Most parts can be bought second hand if you know where to look. A lot of other wear n tear parts are the same as others ie front brake pads are same as Mitsubishi Shogun/pajero just an example. Fuel; not the best but for the pleasure you get it's well worth a tiny bit extra. Reliability was invented by Mitsubishi. I know I'm from the wrong side of the planet but it's pretty much the same over here. Hope this helps.
