Kawasaki STX 160LX keeps an estimated 68% of its value after 5 years — #2367 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Kawasaki STX 160LX retains an estimated 68% of its value after five years, ranking #2367 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 70% five-year average for PWC in its class by 2 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Kawasaki STX 160LX sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $14,287 it falls to around $10,863 by year five — a five-year loss near $3,424, about $1.88 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Kawasaki STX 160LX bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
