Used 2023 Nissan Altima for Sale nearNaples, FL

How much does the 2023 Nissan Altima cost?

Prices have softened 1.29% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 6,682 listings available, which suggests you should have a healthy number of options to compare.

Is the 2023 Nissan Altima a good car?

Yes — the 2023 Nissan Altima earns a 5/5 user rating and a 6.3/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Technology at 9/10.

Owners consistently praise its comfortable daily driving feel, easy-to-use tech, and strong safety reputation. The user feedback also points to good fuel economy and a quality audio system as recurring positives.

The trade-offs are clear: performance is fairly pedestrian, and the interior materials feel cheap. That lines up with the Altima’s role as a practical family sedan rather than an exciting one, especially if you value comfort and straightforward usability over flash.

With a shrinking midsize-sedan market, the Altima still makes sense if you want a traditional four-door with sensible everyday appeal. Good and great deals account for 35.5% of listings, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2023 Nissan Altima reliable?

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

The owner feedback also points to a reliable, dependable, and trouble-free ownership experience, with comments that suggest you can count on it for everyday use. The expert evaluation reinforces that impression by describing Nissan’s CVT as a good one and noting that the automaker has been building them for decades.

Nissan also includes an Easy Fill Tire Alert, which is a small but useful ownership perk. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about outright durability and more about finding a well-kept example that hasn’t been worn down by age, mileage, or neglect.

What should I look for when buying a used 2023 Nissan Altima?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 78.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still run a history report on any car you’re considering, even if the listing looks clean. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection that checks the brakes, visibility-related equipment, and the condition of the cabin materials, since those are the kinds of areas that can affect your day-to-day satisfaction. It also helps to compare trims carefully, because the base version leaves out a lot of equipment you may want.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup includes the base Altima S, the popular Altima SV, the sporty Altima SR, the Altima SL, and the Altima SR VC-Turbo. The base trim is notably sparse, while the higher trims add more upscale equipment and a better overall feel.
• Powertrain: Most versions use a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with a CVT, while the SR VC-Turbo gets a more powerful turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. The standard engine is adequate, and the turbo model is the livelier choice.
• Safety package: Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard and includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a driver monitoring system. Starting with SV, you get rear automatic braking, and SR adds automatic high-beam headlights.
• Infotainment: The base S trim has a 5-inch display, Bluetooth streaming audio, and a hands-free text messaging assistant. SV and SR get an 8-inch touchscreen with wired Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto, while the available 12.3-inch system adds wireless Apple CarPlay, wired Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and wireless smartphone charging.
• Fuel efficiency: Official EPA fuel economy ratings range from 30 mpg to 32 mpg in combined driving, and the SR VC-Turbo is rated at 29 mpg combined. The test vehicle averaged 27.4 mpg.

Which 2023 Nissan Altima trim should I buy?

The 2023 Nissan Altima is offered in 5 trim levels: Altima S, Altima SV, Altima SR, Altima SL, Altima SR VC-Turbo.

Here's the short version:

• Altima S: This is the least expensive way into the Altima, but it’s also the most stripped-down. You get the basics, yet the content makes clear that you’ll likely want to move up if you care about convenience and tech.
• Altima SV: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds a more complete equipment set without pushing you into the highest price tiers. It’s the smart middle ground if you want a well-rounded Altima.
• Altima SR: Choose this if you want a sportier feel and a more expressive setup. It adds a more engaging character than the SV, though it still keeps the standard engine.
• Altima SL: This is the most luxurious trim and the one to consider if you want the most upscale Altima experience. It also gets the stronger tech and comfort content that helps the car feel more premium.
• Altima SR VC-Turbo: Pick this if you want the most power and the most performance-oriented Altima in the lineup. It pairs the upscale equipment with the turbocharged engine for buyers who want more punch.

Safety Shield 360 is standard across the lineup, while ProPilot Assist is optional on SV and standard on SL and SR VC-Turbo.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2023 Nissan Altima?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently but still move quickly on the right car.

• Deal availability: 35.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 6,682 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 1.29% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 78.6% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $19,540, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2023 Nissan Altima's resale value?

The current average of $20,123 sits slightly below last year's $20,387.

That modest decline suggests the Altima has softened a bit in the used market, which can be good news if you’re buying now. For a future seller, it means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim rather than on broad market momentum alone.

The good news is that the model still has practical appeal, especially for shoppers who want a traditional sedan with strong safety and easy-to-use tech. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2023 Nissan Altima safe?

The 2023 Nissan Altima earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA and a five-star rollover resistance rating, though it receives a four-star rating for front passenger frontal impact safety. It also earns a Top Safety Pick+ from IIHS for the 2022 calendar year, but the updated IIHS side-impact test gives it a Poor rating.

It earns a 7/10 safety score from our experts.

Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard and includes forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a driver monitoring system. ProPilot Assist adds adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and lane-centering assist, and it’s optional on SV and standard on SL and SR VC-Turbo.

The main caveat is the poor updated IIHS side-impact result, which is worth keeping in mind if safety is your top priority. The Altima still brings a strong standard safety package, but you should pay close attention to trim differences and the specific crash-test details.

Should I buy a 2023 Nissan Altima or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2023 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2023 if:

• 35.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 78.6% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 1.29% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It keeps the Altima relevant with updated styling, improved tech, and strong safety credentials.

Consider the 2022 if:

• At $17,057, the 2022 costs less than the current year's $20,123 average.
• It offers more trim and powertrain variety, including AWD and two engines.

Consider the 2024 if:

• At $19,780, the 2024 costs less than the current year's $20,123 average.
• It adds value with attractive pricing, standard safety tech, and available AWD.

The bottom line: If you want the strongest mix of current-market availability, safety, and updated tech, the 2023 is the best primary target. If price is your top priority, the 2022 is worth a look; if you want a slightly newer alternative with similar value, the 2024 is also a sensible backup.
