Newbie Question on Costs

Newbie here. Have always liked AMs, and I'm thinking about purchasing a late '90s or 2001-2002 DB7 (looking to spend up to $40k)

Can someone please give me an idea of the operating costs of owning a DB7?

I'm also looking at 2002-2006 Maserati Coupes/Gransports, and 1995-2002 Acura NSX. Was wondering where the DB7 fell on the operating cost scale (NSX is extremely reliable, while the Maserati is less so with expensive repairs and maintenance).

Thanks!

Your scale as to running costs is correct. However in terms of driving excitement, the scale moves in the other direction. A Maserati Gransport (suggest you take a look at MaseratiLife.com) is the most involving drivers car. The only thing I would not agree with is the comment on reliabilty. THe Gransports are very reliable. Much more so than the early Coupes.
