Polaris Scrambler 850 keeps an estimated 63% of its value after 5 years — #679 of 1052 powersports vehicles VINdown tracks.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Polaris Scrambler 850 retains an estimated 63% of its value after five years, ranking #679 of 1052 powersports vehicles we track. That trails the 70% five-year average for ATV in its class by 8 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Polaris Scrambler 850 sheds about 16% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $11,999 it falls to around $7,523 by year five — a five-year loss near $4,476, about $2.45 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Polaris Scrambler 850 bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
