The loss does not land all at once here: the Sylvan 8520 Mirage LZ sheds about 7% in year one and keeps going at much the same rate. From roughly $25,781 it falls to around $16,654 by year five — a five-year loss near $9,127, about $5.00 a day in depreciation.
There is no single sweet spot on the Sylvan 8520 Mirage LZ: 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.
