Most of the loss lands early: the South Bay 525SBE 3 0 Performance PK sheds about 21% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $71,124 it falls to around $41,465 by year five — a five-year loss near $29,659, about $16.25 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used South Bay 525SBE 3 0 Performance PK bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
