Lance 975 keeps an estimated 52% of its value after 5 years — #3493 of 5706 RVs & trailers VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Lance 975 retains an estimated 52% of its value after five years, ranking #3493 of 5706 RVs & trailers we track. That trails the 55% five-year average for Travel Trailer in its class by 3 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Lance 975 sheds about 18% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $59,471 it falls to around $31,222 by year five — a five-year loss near $28,249, about $15.48 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Lance 975 bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
