Most of the loss lands early: the Glasstream 280 SCX sheds about 11% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $208,778 it falls to around $118,168 by year five — a five-year loss near $90,610, about $49.65 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Glasstream 280 SCX bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
