New member from Mornington Peninsula seeks info about the MiTo

[Shiny Mew]

Hi guys. Being a very particular car enthusiast, over the past 12 months I have been highly keen on purchasing a red manual MiTo Sport. I've finally found one in the same state for a good price and with low mileage.  However,  I was wondering if anyone could give me a rough estimate on the maintenance costs of such a vehicle (assuming the use of independent Alfa specialist mechanics, reasonable DIY procedures and importing parts where possible), and what Alfa mechanic you would recommend (given I live in the Mornington Peninsula/Frankston area of south-east Vic)?

Thank you.
