Most of the loss lands early: the Monterey 258 SS sheds about 31% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $132,175 it falls to around $82,212 by year five — a five-year loss near $49,963, about $27.38 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Monterey 258 SS bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
