Indian Roadmaster Elite Touring Depreciation & Resale Value

Indian Roadmaster Elite keeps an estimated 77% of its value after 5 years — #115 of 1052 powersports vehicles VINdown tracks.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Indian Roadmaster Elite retains an estimated 77% of its value after five years, ranking #115 of 1052 powersports vehicles we track. That is 3 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 Roadmaster Elite sheds about 10% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $42,249 it falls to around $32,447 by year five — a five-year loss near $9,802, about $5.37 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Indian Roadmaster Elite bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
