I'd suggest going on eBay to see just how much some of the 80's Toyota trucks are going for. Some of them are going for a LOT of money. Why? The same reason '57 Chevy Belairs, Ford Mustangs and Plymouth Barracudas also eventually became collectible: Nostalgia.
I'm in my 40's, meaning I grew up in the 80's and one of the most pivotal movies of my youth was back to the future where Marty Mcfly drives a black Toyota 4X4. Now go look up how much those things are going for. Why? Because people my age now have good paying jobs, many of us are now at our peak earning years and we're also aging and just like all the previous generations will pay more to get something we recall from our youth. Hence why 80's Toyota trucks, boom boxes, Atari game consoles and classic Mac computers are all now skyrocketing in value.

You are right. I was just showing how the resale isn’t that dramatic. I’ve bought new cars that way, taking proceeds from an older one that went up in value.
