Indian Chieftain keeps an estimated 81% of its value after 5 years — #24 of 1052 powersports vehicles VINdown tracks. See the full depreciation curve.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Indian Chieftain retains an estimated 81% of its value after five years, ranking #24 of 1052 powersports vehicles we track. That is 7 points above the 74% five-year average for Touring in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Indian Chieftain sheds about 10% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $24,249 it falls to around $19,617 by year five — a five-year loss near $4,632, about $2.54 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Indian Chieftain bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
