Indian Chieftain Limited Touring Depreciation & Resale Value

Indian Chieftain Limited keeps an estimated 81% of its value after 5 years — #24 of 1052 powersports vehicles VINdown tracks.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Indian Chieftain Limited 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 Limited sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $29,009 it falls to around $24,269 by year five — a five-year loss near $4,740, about $2.60 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.
