Most of the loss lands early: the Malibu Wakesetter 20 VTX sheds about 31% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $190,440 it falls to around $118,644 by year five — a five-year loss near $71,796, about $39.34 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Malibu Wakesetter 20 VTX bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
