Polaris Sportsman 850 Premium keeps an estimated 68% of its value after 5 years — #494 of 1005 powersports vehicles VINdown tracks. See its full depreciation curve, cost per day, and best model year to buy.
Per VINdown's modeling, the Polaris Sportsman 850 Premium retains an estimated 68% of its value after five years, ranking #494 of 1005 powersports vehicles we track. That trails the 72% five-year average for ATV in its class by 4 points, so it depreciates faster than most rivals.
Most of the loss lands early: the Polaris Sportsman 850 Premium sheds about 4% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $12,499 it falls to around $8,486 by year five — a five-year loss near $4,013, about $2.20 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 2, a lightly-used Polaris Sportsman 850 Premium bought at 2 years old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
