I don't know the value but I have had a 94 eagle for four years.
By todays standards it is pretty basic, the only computer control is for the Allison trans. A big factor in owning a older rig is your ability and desire to do a lot of the maintenance yourself as labor rates at a lot of shops are $150+ per hour. so far the biggest expense has been the brake system for the toad, air bags (not leaking just age) 6 new Toyos, $1800 tires only mounted myself. the last 3 years it goes to az with a f150 with a Polaris xp900 strapped to it. it's not fast in the mountains but I can usually fall in behind a slower 18 wheeler and back off a little, on more level ground according to Oklahoma HP it will go at least 76 mph. if it will fit your needs and you spend 10k and another 6k to get it road worthy, use it for 2-3 years and give it away it would still cost you less than the depreciation on a new one when you drive it off the lot.
good luck with whatever you decide
