Most of the loss lands early: the Cougar South Bay 200 Z LP FO sheds about 4% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $25,194 it falls to around $19,878 by year five — a five-year loss near $5,316, about $2.91 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Cougar South Bay 200 Z LP FO bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
