Most of the loss lands early: the Lance 865 sheds about 18% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $44,173 it falls to around $23,234 by year five — a five-year loss near $20,939, about $11.47 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Lance 865 bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
