The loss does not land all at once here: the Sunchaser 18 LR sheds about 5% in year one and keeps going at much the same rate. From roughly $16,589 it falls to around $14,304 by year five — a five-year loss near $2,285, about $1.25 a day in depreciation.
There is no single sweet spot on the Sunchaser 18 LR: 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. Explore the full year-by-year curve, trims, and true cost of ownership in the Model Lab above.
