Thunderbird Formula 240 BR Cruiser Depreciation

Thunderbird Formula 240 BR keeps an estimated 55% of its value after 5 years — #5573 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Thunderbird Formula 240 BR retains an estimated 55% of its value after five years, ranking #5573 of 5780 boats we track. That trails the 62% five-year average for Cruiser in its class by 7 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Thunderbird Formula 240 BR sheds about 36% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $177,410 it falls to around $97,220 by year five — a five-year loss near $80,190, about $43.94 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Thunderbird Formula 240 BR bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
