Trust me meerly; buying the car is the cheapest aspect of drifting. Its the storage, maintenance, rent for locations, damages, and tires thats gonna cost you alot of money. I looked into this myself and came to the conclusion that drifting in a legally accepted way in the Netyherlands will not work for me; its just too expensive.
Buy the car: 3000€
Rent the location (an abandond airfield) 200€ a day
Rent the car ambulance for a day (the car isnt allowed on public roads) 100€
Gasoline for the day: 100€
Tires for the day: 100€
Maintenance after a day of drifting: 50€
Total costs of one day drifting: 550€
That would mean i would be able to go drift once in every two months or so..
I know you can get used tires at tirestraders to make that a bit cheaper. But i am in now way planning on drifting on public roads.. I was brought up too decently..
So basicall; the costs are too high for me..
