My A-5 was easily over 1k which is why I had to switch to something else. I owned it for for 2 years and it felt like a monthly car payment!
I bought my blazer, paid 900+ for it and added a few things later. New barrel, Stabilizer, Pump Kit, Grips and a few other various things. But in the past year I haven't spent more than 15 dollars on it

other than feeding it of course.
