Most of the loss lands early: the Sterling 200 XS FO sheds about 27% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $151,000 it falls to around $90,902 by year five — a five-year loss near $60,098, about $32.93 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Sterling 200 XS FO bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
