Future FD owner, unreliable?; cost of maintanence?

What is the $cost$ of new engine/ turboes? I'm aware that they are extremely and notoriously unreliable. However, they are the sickest looking cars on the market, easy; so I'm able to overlook the reliablity issue somewhat.

Are FD's unreliable overall, do many parts tend to go bad at from 60-90k miles?, or is it just the engine/turboes that goes bad? I really want a 7, and will probably buy one with a new engine/turbos anyway since the autotrader is full of them.
