Most of the loss lands early: the Manitou 18 Standard sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $19,740 it falls to around $13,620 by year five — a five-year loss near $6,120, about $3.35 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Manitou 18 Standard bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
