Most of the loss lands early: the Gulf Coast 230 VS OF sheds about 4% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $33,600 it falls to around $27,048 by year five — a five-year loss near $6,552, about $3.59 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Gulf Coast 230 VS OF bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
