Most of the loss lands early: the Starcraft 18QB sheds about 4% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $17,211 it falls to around $13,768 by year five — a five-year loss near $3,443, about $1.89 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Starcraft 18QB bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
