The loss does not land all at once here: the Starcraft EX 18 C sheds about 7% in year one and keeps going at much the same rate. From roughly $18,026 it falls to around $11,662 by year five — a five-year loss near $6,364, about $3.49 a day in depreciation.
There is no single sweet spot on the Starcraft EX 18 C: 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.
