Three words, "Amateur Built Aircraft"

Non-answer.

He's not asking for cheap alternatives, he's asking why aviation costs are
so disproportionate (i.e., why a 25 year old aircraft cost more than it did
new).

Well in that case, I have three letters for you, FAA.

And I take exception to using the term "cheap alternative" to describe "Amateur
Built Aircraft". Now if you meant "inexpensive" alternative I have no problem
with that.
