Yamaha 252XE keeps an estimated 80% of its value after 5 years — #272 of 5780 boats VINdown tracks. See the full curve and the best year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Yamaha 252XE retains an estimated 80% of its value after five years, ranking #272 of 5780 boats we track. That is 13 points above the 66% five-year average for Bowrider in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Yamaha 252XE sheds about 3% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $93,828 it falls to around $82,345 by year five — a five-year loss near $11,483, about $6.29 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Yamaha 252XE bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
