If you maintain your vehicle by doing regular oil changes, flushing the rad at regular intervals and making sure to the flush the tranny every 50,000 clicks the cost of repairs is minimal. My 05 Escape has 110,000 clicks on and all i've had to do outside regular maintinence is replace my tires. It's been a trouble free vehicle so far.
You also have to do your research to make sure you're not buying a vehicle that has a history of problems.
