Most of the loss lands early: the Chaparral 30 Surf Black Edtn HT Pkg sheds about 29% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $321,177 it falls to around $194,633 by year five — a five-year loss near $126,544, about $69.34 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Chaparral 30 Surf Black Edtn HT Pkg bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
