Saw an ad on FB for a 2002 Arrow priced at $150,000. TTAF was about 9,500.

I was wondering which plane would be more valuable: a 2002 model with high time (say, close to 10,000 hours) or a 1970’s model with low(ish) times (say, 3,000 hours).

Assume the airframes have similar wing/tail configurations, and that the paint, avionics, and interior are comparable. Engines in each plane have been overhauled as required, and have similar TSMOH.

What say ye?
