A person definitely gets value when they buy an A3. I don't think anyone has said they are not worth it. I mean try and buy a diesel powered pickup truck nowdays. You are gonna spend $6000-$10000 for one that is 14 years old and has 200,000 miles on it. With A3's you get a turbo diesel, automatic, power steering most of the time with less than 10,000 miles. The engine does not really break in untill 30-60,000 miles.
I have had friends with the 3116 Cat in motorhomes and they have had problems with that motor. And they were expensive problems. I'm not sayin' the 3116 is a boat anchor so don't touch it. Just do some research. The multifuels have their own problems but are usually cheaper to fix as you can buy spare motors for $1000-$2000. You can buy A2 parts trucks for $1000-$2000.......And that's how a yard full of trucks starts. Then they really are yard ornaments.
