Thinking of buying a used FF, what am I actually signing up for cost wise?

The FF has been on my list for years and there's a 2013 example for sale near me that's tempting me more than it should. I'm trying to be sensible about it because the purchase price is only half the story with these cars and I don't want to be the guy who buys one then discovers he can't afford to keep it running. My main worry is the servicing side of things here in the UAE, whether the heat and dust add costs you don't get elsewhere, and how much I should be holding back as a yearly buffer. A colleague told me to visit this page before going any further, said it laid out the maintenance picture in plain terms rather than the usual vague stuff, and he was right, it was actually useful. So now I've got a rough annual figure in mind. Still deciding whether to go for it or keep saving. Anyone with FF or similar experience, what's the one cost you wish you'd known about upfront?
