The loss does not land all at once here: the Lowe 1655 BIG River sheds about 4% in year one and keeps going at much the same rate. From roughly $10,409 it falls to around $8,160 by year five — a five-year loss near $2,249, about $1.23 a day in depreciation.
There is no single sweet spot on the Lowe 1655 BIG River: it gives up a similar share of its value every year rather than falling off a cliff, so how long you keep it matters more than what age you buy it at.
