Most of the loss lands early: the Polaris Sportsman 450 HO Utility sheds about 5% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $6,549 it falls to around $4,787 by year five — a five-year loss near $1,762, about $0.97 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Polaris Sportsman 450 HO Utility bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
