[C320-list] Call For C320 Pricing Help

I have been trying to rationalize myself into buying a newish 320 for some
time now.
I have retired and want to move up from our 270 while we can still enjoy
sailing.
My problem has been the big depreciation I see when I compare the NADA used
price for an X year old 320 to the price of a new one (as quoted today).
Looked at that way, depreciation is steep.
However I have recently realized that the original sale prices of the older
boats were a lot less than they are now for today's boats, making comparison
to today's new prices meaningless.
In fact, the couple of data points I have raise the possibility that the
boats are not depreciating much at all, compared to their original sales
price. I have found one pricing guide that gives original retail but it cost
several hundred $, something I would rather spend on a GPS.
Now to my question, does anyone have a feel for what typical "as delivered"
prices were for some of the past years?
I am hoping this can push me to pull the trigger and buy.
Thanks!
Best Regards,
John
