Indian Chieftain Limited Black Touring Depreciation

Indian Chieftain Limited Black keeps an estimated 76% of its value after 5 years — #127 of 1052 powersports vehicles VINdown tracks.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Indian Chieftain Limited Black retains an estimated 76% of its value after five years, ranking #127 of 1052 powersports vehicles we track. That is 2 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 Black sheds about 8% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $29,249 it falls to around $22,375 by year five — a five-year loss near $6,874, about $3.77 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Indian Chieftain Limited Black bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
