Most of the loss lands early: the Princecraft Platinum SE 186 sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $57,976 it falls to around $44,177 by year five — a five-year loss near $13,799, about $7.56 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Princecraft Platinum SE 186 bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
