I would think though that having low running costs would be in line with your way of thinking. The early 80's fridge we had when we moved in used 3-4x the electricity of our new bigger nicer fridge. We kept it for a year (since we had put cash into the house and other more pressing house items) until it broke down.
Even if it only saved $100/year (which it probably will save more), it will easily pay for itself within it's lifetime. Our "new" fridge has lasted 10 years so far. It holds more and works better. For the most part, this is a case of the new ones are better than the old ones. Only real issue is plastic parts can annoyingly break... but even a 1980's fridge had plastic parts.
