they say that a 1990 Metro, which used to go for $1175 a few months ago, is now fetching $3000 !
If only cars were built as well as farm tractors, I can't think of another common vehicle that actually gets more valuable as it ages. I don't have specific numbers but new tractors cost so much that many 30 year ones are being sold for more than they were bought for. Just like cars, the new ones have all sorts of electronic crap and plastic through out but basically the old ones function just fine, and you can probably understand how to fix it when necessary.
