Indian Chieftain Limited keeps an estimated 79% of its value after 5 years — #94 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 Indian Chieftain Limited retains an estimated 79% of its value after five years, ranking #94 of 1005 powersports vehicles we track. That is 3 points above the 76% 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 Limited sheds about 9% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $29,999 it falls to around $23,819 by year five — a five-year loss near $6,180, about $3.39 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Indian Chieftain Limited bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
