Most of the loss lands early: the Crest 230 SLS sheds about 17% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $84,849 it falls to around $55,915 by year five — a five-year loss near $28,934, about $15.85 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Crest 230 SLS bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
