End worth/value is not a factor. I'm just trying to come up to speed as to what is desirable and what is not. For example, if I run out and buy the first one I find, I don't want to be in the situation that later I regret not getting the xx year because it had this or that and mine doesn't. Or the inverse, I get the one with some feature that seems desirable only to learn over time, that is the one thing to avoid.

I doubt if I would keep the engine or trans. So that is likely not a factor. Although I never toss original parts, so I would likely keep the original engine/trans and put the pair on a stand, just to retain originality for some future owner who may have other ideas.

For me a 5 window is a must
