I know that everything depends on the car itself, but is there a general consensus on costs that would be unavoidable? Money is not a problem, but, again, better be prepared...

I can’t really think of any costly inherent mechanical faults to look out for. The suspension might be tired so might need doing; bushes, springs dampers. Brakes are the same, just need checking and replace what is required but they are good quality. The Amazon was a well built car which used good parts. The engines are strong and can rev all day long. From that era the Amazon would be a hard car to beat.
