Most of the loss lands early: the Merhow 8409 Rear Kitchen Slide sheds about 13% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $95,963 it falls to around $51,532 by year five — a five-year loss near $44,431, about $24.35 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Merhow 8409 Rear Kitchen Slide bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
