Kawasaki Ultra 160LX S keeps an estimated 72% of its value after 5 years — #1447 of 5915 boats VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Kawasaki Ultra 160LX S retains an estimated 72% of its value after five years, ranking #1447 of 5915 boats we track. That is roughly in line with the 71% five-year average for PWC in its class.
Most of the loss lands early: the Kawasaki Ultra 160LX S sheds about 16% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $17,799 it falls to around $12,797 by year five — a five-year loss near $5,002, about $2.74 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Kawasaki Ultra 160LX S bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
