Malibu M240 Cruiser Depreciation & Resale Value

Malibu M240 keeps an estimated 59% of its value after 5 years — #4936 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Malibu M240 retains an estimated 59% of its value after five years, ranking #4936 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 62% five-year average for Cruiser in its class by 4 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Malibu M240 sheds about 19% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $404,734 it falls to around $237,174 by year five — a five-year loss near $167,560, about $91.81 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Malibu M240 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
