it actually depends on the car some parts are no longer made so it can get a lil pricey but not as much as some newer cars and its easier to work on them too i would take an old chevel any day to some newer dodge or any other model

Depends on who is fixing the car. Those cars will have more problems just because they are older and have more wear on them. Plastic and rubber dry rot over time. The parts maybe cheaper but if you have to replace more parts it can get expensive really quick. Also realize that if you have to pay someone to replace those parts the labor can easily be more expensive than the part itself. And one last note, if you are in a area that requires smog certification this can easily cost you several hundred if not more dollars to keep the car smog legal every couple years. It really all depends on your budget.

If you can do the work yourself,maybe,it pays;if you must use a shop, I don't think it pays.Availability of parts,even used parts, becomes a problem the older a car gets.

For the most part yes, but they don't get the mpg of modern cars.
