Polaris Sportsman Touring 850 keeps an estimated 68% of its value after 5 years — #490 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 Touring 850 retains an estimated 68% of its value after five years, ranking #490 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 Touring 850 sheds about 9% of its value in year one alone. From roughly $13,599 it falls to around $9,247 by year five — a five-year loss near $4,352, about $2.38 a day in depreciation.
Because the steepest drop hits around year 1, a lightly-used Polaris Sportsman Touring 850 bought at 1 year old lets the first owner absorb the worst of the depreciation while the curve flattens — usually the value sweet spot.
