This raises a good point about the RVs: They are one of the few
homebuilt types to consistently command prices for finished aircraft
that are greater than the cost of the kit or materials plus engine and
components. So if resale value is one of your essential criteria, one
of the RVs is often your best bet.

Not really. The original poster wanted to keep and fly the airplane for 10
years. It can be done with a new RV, if the workmanship is good on the
airplane.
