Indian Scout ABS Color Cruiser Depreciation & Resale Value

Indian Scout ABS Color keeps an estimated 83% of its value after 5 years — #8 of 1052 powersports vehicles VINdown tracks.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Indian Scout ABS Color retains an estimated 83% of its value after five years, ranking #8 of 1052 powersports vehicles we track. That is 10 points above the 73% 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 ABS Color sheds about 6% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $14,899 it falls to around $12,306 by year five — a five-year loss near $2,593, about $1.42 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 3, a lightly-used Indian Scout ABS Color bought at 3 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
