Arctic Cat Alterra 300 keeps an estimated 52% of its value after 5 years — #926 of 1005 powersports vehicles VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Arctic Cat Alterra 300 retains an estimated 52% of its value after five years, ranking #926 of 1005 powersports vehicles we track. That trails the 72% five-year average for ATV in its class by 20 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Arctic Cat Alterra 300 sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $4,599 it falls to around $2,414 by year five — a five-year loss near $2,185, about $1.20 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 4, a lightly-used Arctic Cat Alterra 300 bought at 4 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
