I'm not worried about retaining value when I buy a $300 guitar,I just want to play it.Playing it is it's main value in my book. 
I have a MIA Tele,a MIJ Strat and a MIM J bass.I'm happy with all of them.

Who? Me? I'm going to keep pumping, treating, analyzing, and delivering water to 18-22 year old Southern California girls. I'll still take a 15 minute break at 10am, a 30 minute lunch at noon, and a 15 minute break at 2:30pm. Still be getting around 12 hours of vacation per month, 8 hours of sick leave, and I'll still observe at least 15 holidays per year, and not pay a dime for full medical, dental, vision, and chiropractic care.
But don't fret, buckaroo, they can't outsource burger flippers, so you'll be fine.

In another thread you mentioned you have a Behringer Powerplay Pro-8.
That was made in Michigan, right ?

Ya know...
Some people really have the ears for it, and some just think they can hear electrons...
with a good setup and decent pickups, most will play and sound pretty good... but there are different tools for different jobs. Once you add ANY processing, you now have an entirely different situation and you cannot totally pin the guitar on many aspects of the sound.
I've had nice guitars and I've had some POS. Put a custom shop SRV or a GIbson Gary Moore and put it through a DOD or an ART for reverb and A/B them with a MIM or an EPI and then talk to me...
FWIW
The BEST neck I have as far as 'playability', by far, is a Korean Dean V- hands down. When I'm playing metal- it rules. When I play blues.....
most of the necks overseas are, IMO consistent. When I look at my older USA's, no. but there are different components... I dunno ~~~~~

Here's my MIM. After some fret dressing and a good professional set-up, it's one of the nicest playing guitars I've ever owned.

Back to the original subject MIM's I just bought a used MIM. It's a 1999/2000 according to the ser#. Other than the crappy ceramic pups it's a pretty nice piece. I'll wind a new set for it next week. There are some good deals on used MIM's out there if you look around. I gave $125 for mine. To me the fact that it came from Ensenada B.C. is no big deal.

Sorry, didn't know which was proper and didn't feel like busting out the dictionary to see which would fit.

Exactly.
Besides, why would anyone want to pay a grand for a Mustang, vintage or not?
