Polaris Sportsman 850 ATV Depreciation & Resale Value

Polaris Sportsman 850 keeps an estimated 69% of its value after 5 years — #425 of 1052 powersports vehicles VINdown tracks.

Per VINdown's modeling, the Polaris Sportsman 850 retains an estimated 69% of its value after five years, ranking #425 of 1052 powersports vehicles we track. That is roughly in line with the 70% five-year average for ATV in its class.

Most of the loss lands early: the Polaris Sportsman 850 sheds about 3% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $10,799 it falls to around $7,429 by year five — a five-year loss near $3,370, about $1.85 a day in depreciation.

Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Polaris Sportsman 850 bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
