When adding in the maintenance costs (annual, parts & labor for repairs), I don't think a 150/152 is an appreciative asset. For each hour of tach time, the engine value goes down $6. The average owner flies about 80 tach-hours per year; I don't think a 150/152 appreciates $500 per year in value to make up for that.
