California Sidecar Escapade Excel keeps an estimated 69% of its value after 5 years — #425 of 1052 powersports vehicles VINdown tracks.
Per VINdown's modeling, the California Sidecar Escapade Excel retains an estimated 69% of its value after five years, ranking #425 of 1052 powersports vehicles we track. That is 5 points above the 63% five-year average for Dirt in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the California Sidecar Escapade Excel sheds about 11% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $6,000 it falls to around $4,128 by year five — a five-year loss near $1,872, about $1.03 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used California Sidecar Escapade Excel bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
