Most of the loss lands early: the Idle Time 283 Fkws sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $31,028 it falls to around $18,244 by year five — a five-year loss near $12,784, about $7.00 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Idle Time 283 Fkws bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
