Indian Scout keeps an estimated 82% of its value after 5 years — #50 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 Scout retains an estimated 82% of its value after five years, ranking #50 of 1005 powersports vehicles we track. That is 8 points above the 74% five-year average for Cruiser in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Indian Scout sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $13,499 it falls to around $11,055 by year five — a five-year loss near $2,444, about $1.34 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Indian Scout bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
