You must consider apples to apples. If the 5088 is in pristine condition and the 2-135 is a wore out piece of junk then yes - the 2-135 is gonna be a lot cheaper. If the 2-135 is in good condition and of the same vintage of the 5088 then it should be comparable in price. White made the 2-135 from 1976 to 1987. It was a long run and they were good tractors. New and used parts are obtainable but unless you are a mechanic I'd make sure some dealer support wasn't too far away. The series three came out in 1982 and were equipped with a improved cab. I wonder about future dealer/parts support for other makes from that era also since IH has changed hands twice, Massey and Allis to AGCO, etc. There was at one time in the 70's 11 dealerships in my county for various makes. Now we are down to two full fledged dealers and one satelitte store. Lawn mowers and utility tractors make up the majority of their sales.
