Checking parts availability and cost should be one of the top priorities when researching a new car. Especially a low production niche vehicle. It doesn't matter what a ball joint for your 1997 F150 costs compared to a Subaru part since the production numbers are so far apart.
I can understand the sticker shock to some extent but that shock should come before buying the car not after. We get dozens of posts a month by people thinking of buying the car but I do not recall a single one asking about the availability and price of parts. They wait until after buying and then are surprised.
