Most of the loss lands early: the Cobalt CS23 Surf sheds about 17% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $150,882 it falls to around $92,943 by year five — a five-year loss near $57,939, about $31.75 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Cobalt CS23 Surf bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
