Hi Neil,
Welcome to UKVAC!
An Outrun upright will set you back between £600-950
The smaller 'midi' anything between £350-450
The moving sitdown £1200-2500
There's also a static sitdown but I haven't seen one for sale for many years so it's hard to gauge what that would go for.
Machines do break but saying that if it is well looked after it should give you years of trouble free service. If things do break they can be repaired (tech threads on here or paying someone to do it), or you can buy spares.
Spare Outrun PCB is anything between £100-160
Monitor £75-160
Power supply £20
Artwork £30-100 (various parts - the larger side art being more expensive) most of this is repro as new old stock is too hard to find now.
An Outrun 2 will cost you over £1200, and you can get a TSD (twin sit down) for about £2500. It is slightly more for Outrun 2 SP or Special Tours.
Both machines come up for sale on here.
Good luck in your hunt!

bear in mind though that this can be a pretty heartbreaking hobby as your pride and joy will go wrong, however, it seems like everything is fixable and the people here have done me so many favours and offered so much advice that i really don't know how i would have got by without them, so you are very much in the right place...
Hi Neil, I fall into the "haven't got a clue" end of the UKVaC knowledge-spectrum but you learn quick and everyone here is really helpful. As Chubsta said; they will go wrong but half the fun is getting them going again without electricity leaking all over you.
Hi Neil
Welcome to the VAC! You've picked good choices with OR and OR2! It would be many people's dream garage to have those two in there.
Why don't you come along to the Play Expo at Blackpool this weekend? There'll definitely be an Out Run mini there that you can have a play on and Cumbria's only just up the road from Blackpool.

Cmonkey, I saw this being on this weekend and the trip is sooooooooo enticing, but I've already got stuff on, (this whole wedding thing needs so much stuff doing!!!!).
In a similar vein though and maybe this is worth me posting on a seperate thread.....?
It would be great to find out where I could go on a day2day basis and play Outrun and/or Outrun2. ie; does anyone know any arcades/venues near to me (Carlisle, Cumbria) where these machines are playable? Or do they only exist in the private enclosures or people luckier than me!!
