Polaris Slingshot SL Standard Depreciation & Resale Value

Polaris Slingshot SL keeps an estimated 72% of its value after 5 years — #279 of 1052 powersports vehicles VINdown tracks.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Polaris Slingshot SL retains an estimated 72% of its value after five years, ranking #279 of 1052 powersports vehicles we track. That is 9 points above the 63% 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 12% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $28,299 it falls to around $20,403 by year five — a five-year loss near $7,896, about $4.33 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.
