The loss does not land all at once here: the South Bay 523FCR sheds about 4% in year one and keeps going at much the same rate. From roughly $39,717 it falls to around $30,875 by year five — a five-year loss near $8,842, about $4.84 a day in depreciation.
There is no single sweet spot on the South Bay 523FCR: it gives up a similar share of its value every year rather than falling off a cliff, so how long you keep it matters more than what age you buy it at.
