So, you 'old school' pilots, your engine fails at 5000ft. and your first concern is the resale value of your aircraft? get real.

Your first concern must be the best way to conserve the life of you and your passenger.

There are options available to you but, unless you are within gliding distance of a landing strip, the one that offers the best chance is pulling the chute - this is the option that will give you the best chance of retaining your life.
