If you buy one that hasn't been properly maintained, get ready to take over and do the maintenance on it. It may range from small little fixes, to doing everything over.
Once they're properly maintained, like said above they're actually pretty reliable.
However once you start making power, it depends on your driving style, supporting mods, and most importantly tuning. Those will reflect on what may need fixing. I had my last dsm make roughly over 500hp and it gave me no problems. I didn't beat on it and it was driven normally with the occasional wot here and there only after the tune was in check. Any minor problems that rose up right away was quickly fixed. Other than that, pretty reliable. No major engine or drivetrain break downs.
