Lance 1985 keeps an estimated 56% of its value after 5 years — #2701 of 5706 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Lance 1985 retains an estimated 56% of its value after five years, ranking #2701 of 5706 RVs & trailers we track. That is roughly in line with the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class.
Most of the loss lands early: the Lance 1985 sheds about 17% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $67,960 it falls to around $37,989 by year five — a five-year loss near $29,971, about $16.42 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Lance 1985 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
