Used 2014 Nissan Sentra for Sale nearYuma, AZ

How much does the 2014 Nissan Sentra cost?

Prices have softened 5.37% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 587 listings available, which gives you a decent amount of inventory to compare.

Is the 2014 Nissan Sentra a good car?

Generally — the 2014 Nissan Sentra earns a 4.3/5 user rating and a 6.0/10 expert rating. The model scores 8/10 across Form and function and Technology.

The Sentra’s strongest appeal is its roomy, comfortable cabin and easygoing daily-driving character, which make it a practical compact sedan if you value space over excitement. Its expert score reflects that balance: it does well for comfort and usability, but it does not stand out for driving enjoyment or personality.

There are 27.8% good or great deals in the market, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2014 Nissan Sentra reliable?

Owners rate it 4.3/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.

The Sentra’s overall appeal leans on comfort, practicality, and relatively fuel-efficient operation, which are the kinds of traits that usually matter most in everyday ownership. Expert commentary also points to average-at-best quality and reliability expectations, so you should treat it as a sensible commuter rather than a standout durability pick.

The available maintenance and ownership information does not point to any major ownership perk that would offset those concerns. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a car with modest performance and mixed dependability reputation may be more satisfying as a value purchase than as a keep-it-forever choice.

What should I look for when buying a used 2014 Nissan Sentra?

At 50.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.

You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if the car has had any prior body damage or repair work. Focus on overall condition, because a used Sentra with a clean history and well-kept interior and mechanicals is the kind of example that best fits this model’s comfort-and-value mission.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base S trim is the most stripped-down version, while higher trims add more convenience and comfort equipment. The base model also misses out on some tech and feature content that appears on higher trims.
• Powertrain: Every version uses a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine with 130 horsepower, and most trims use a CVT. The base S can be had with a 6-speed manual, and the FE+ package on S and SV models is aimed at better highway mileage.
• Safety package: The Sentra’s safety story includes a standard suite of airbags and stability-related equipment, but the crash-test results are mixed. The small-overlap frontal test is a weak point, and some trims add rear disc brakes through packages rather than standard equipment.
• Infotainment: Bluetooth and a USB port are not standard on the base S; they require the top SL trim or an option package. The screen measures 5.8 inches, and the available NissanConnect system adds connected services, voice recognition, and a reversing camera through packages.
• Fuel efficiency: The EPA estimates 30 mpg city, 39 mpg highway, and 34 mpg combined, and the FE+ package raises highway mileage to 40 mpg.

Which 2014 Nissan Sentra trim should I buy?

The 2014 Nissan Sentra is offered in 4 trim levels: S, SV, SR, SL.

Here's the short version:

• S: This is the entry point, and it makes sense if you want the lowest-cost Sentra and are fine with a simpler feature set. It is the only trim that can be had with a manual transmission, but it also misses out on some of the convenience and tech content found higher up the range.
• SV: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds a more complete everyday experience without jumping all the way to the top of the range. It also can be paired with the FE+ package for better highway mileage, making it a smart middle-ground choice.
• SR: This trim adds a sportier appearance and can be paired with more equipment, but the content here still points more toward style than genuine performance. It makes sense if you want a more dressed-up look and are willing to pay for it.
• SL: This is the most upscale version and the one to choose if you want the most comfort and tech content, including the strongest available convenience setup. It is the best fit if you want the most complete Sentra experience and are willing to pay for it.

The safety package note to keep in mind is that some useful features, including rear disc brakes and certain tech items, are tied to packages rather than being standard across the lineup.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2014 Nissan Sentra?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop carefully and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 27.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 587 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.37% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 50.1% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $6,709, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2014 Nissan Sentra's resale value?

The current average of $6,768 sits slightly below last year's $7,152.

That decline suggests the Sentra has softened in the used market, which can be good news if you are buying now but less favorable if you are planning to sell soon. A lower current price can help attract budget-minded shoppers, but it also means you should expect resale to remain value-oriented rather than strong.

Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.3/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2014 Nissan Sentra safe?

The 2014 Nissan Sentra earns a four-star overall rating from NHTSA, and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gives it Good ratings in all assessments except the small overlap frontal-impact test, where it receives a Poor rating.

It earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

The Sentra’s safety equipment includes the usual core protections, but the crash-test results show a clear weakness in the small-overlap frontal test. That shortcoming matters if safety is a top priority, especially because the car’s roomy cabin otherwise makes it seem like a strong family-car candidate.

Should I buy a 2014 Nissan Sentra or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2014 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

• 27.8% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• At 50.1% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 5.37% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.3/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
• It stands out most for roomy comfort and relatively fuel-efficient operation, but it otherwise fails to distinguish itself in a crowded compact-car segment.

The 2014 makes sense if you want a roomy, efficient compact sedan and you can find a clean example at a good price. If you are more focused on stronger overall polish, safety confidence, or a more compelling driving experience, it is worth comparing nearby model years and alternatives before you commit.

How does the 2014 Nissan Sentra compare to the 2014 Honda Civic?

Our experts score the 2014 Nissan Sentra 6/10 and the 2014 Honda Civic 8.2/10.

The Sentra is the cheaper used buy, with a lower average price and more listings to choose from, but the Civic brings stronger expert approval and a more compelling overall package. The Sentra’s strengths are roominess and efficiency, while the Civic is the better-rounded choice if you want more performance, stronger safety credentials, and a more satisfying driving experience. If your priority is value and comfort, the Sentra can still make sense; if you want the better all-around compact car, the Civic is the stronger pick.
