Nonetheless, it's a "brand new" saw. Still old, but not a classic. We can argue until we are blue about the build quality of newer versus older, but it doesn't change the fact that it is an older saw.
I own a 088. It is not that old at all. Luckily, it is new enough to be supported by Stihl, as opposed to the first run 088's. Do you see where I am going with this? If you buy a 15 year old new old saw, you can get parts, but will you be able to get parts in 5 years?
That is making is 20 years old in 5 years. That is when it will start to need work, and that is under pretty good use, unless you are a pro, in which case, you would just buy a new new one.

What makes you say it is 15 years old - it could both be newer and older than that - but most likely newer, since it is a MAG!
Also observe that it has an elasto-start handle, when where those introduced?
