Sterling 220 XS FO keeps an estimated 60% of its value after 5 years — #4546 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Sterling 220 XS FO retains an estimated 60% of its value after five years, ranking #4546 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 62% five-year average for Cruiser in its class by 2 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Sterling 220 XS FO sheds about 27% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $180,000 it falls to around $108,360 by year five — a five-year loss near $71,640, about $39.25 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Sterling 220 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.
