Per VINdown's modeling, the Polaris Slingshot SL retains an estimated 75% of its value after five years, ranking #188 of 1005 powersports vehicles we track. That is 10 points above the 65% five-year average for Standard in its class, so it holds value better than most rivals.

Most of the loss lands early: the Polaris Slingshot SL sheds about 5% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $25,999 it falls to around $19,499 by year five — a five-year loss near $6,500, about $3.56 a day in depreciation.

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