Used 2024 Nissan Altima for Sale nearDallas, TX

How much does the 2024 Nissan Altima cost?

Prices have softened 9.49% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 9,747 listings available, which suggests you should have a workable selection to compare.

If you find a listing below $19,782.11, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2024 Nissan Altima a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Nissan Altima earns a 5/5 user rating and a 7/10 expert rating.

The standout strength is Cost effectiveness at 9/10.

The Altima’s appeal is rooted in value and everyday usability: it has an attractive starting price, standard safety tech, and available all-wheel drive. It also fits well if you want a comfortable, straightforward daily driver rather than something sporty or upscale.

The trade-offs are clear, though: performance is pedestrian, and the cabin materials are unimpressive. The Bose stereo is also lacking.

With 29.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have a decent chance of finding a competitive price if you shop carefully.

Is the 2024 Nissan Altima reliable?

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

The Altima’s reliability case is helped by its familiar, sixth-year design and its focus on simple, practical use. The expert review also points to a well-rounded package rather than a complicated one, which can be a plus when you’re shopping used.

Its performance is described as adequate, with a 2.5-liter four-cylinder that delivers enough power for most drivers and an AWD system that works by sending power rearward when traction calls for it. The cost-effectiveness review also notes a three-year, 36,000-mile limited warranty and a five-year limited powertrain warranty.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a car with modest performance and average cabin quality may show wear more quickly if it has been neglected.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Nissan Altima?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 86% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully, because accident-free listings are strong but not universal. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering an AWD car or a higher-trim example with more equipment. Focus on cabin condition, since the interior materials are described as unimpressive and cheap plastic is noted in the cabin.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The S trim is the most basic version, while the SV, SR, and SL add more equipment and can be had with AWD. The base S uses a smaller 7-inch screen, and some convenience features are not available there.
• Powertrain: The standard setup is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder with 182 horsepower and 178 pound-feet of torque. The SR can also be ordered with the more powerful VC-Turbo engine, and AWD is not available with that engine.
• Safety package: Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard and includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, rear automatic braking, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane-departure warning. The SL and SR VC-Turbo also add a 360-degree surround-view monitor and traffic-sign recognition.
• Infotainment: Most models use an 8-inch touchscreen, while the base S gets a 7-inch screen. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available only with the largest screen size.
• Fuel efficiency: The AWD setup is rated at 26 mpg city, 36 highway, 30 combined. The VC-Turbo with FWD returns 25 mpg city, 34 highway, 29 combined.

Which 2024 Nissan Altima trim should I buy?

The 2024 Nissan Altima is offered in 4 trim levels: S, SV, SR, and SL.

Here's the short version:

• S: This is the entry point, and it makes sense if you want the lowest starting price and are comfortable giving up some convenience features. It uses the smaller 7-inch screen, so it’s the least tech-rich version.
• SV: This is the best-value choice for many shoppers because it adds more everyday usability and can be equipped with AWD. It also can be fitted with Nissan’s wireless phone charger and ProPilot Assist.
• SR: Choose this if you want a sportier-feeling Altima and the option for the VC-Turbo engine. It also can be equipped with AWD, though the turbo engine itself cannot be paired with AWD.
• SL: This is the most feature-rich trim, with the larger 12.3-inch display, standard NissanConnect, ProPilot Assist, and added safety tech like the surround-view monitor and traffic-sign recognition.

Safety-package note: ProPilot Assist is available on SV trims and standard on SL and SR VC-Turbo models.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Nissan Altima?

This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop with some leverage if you stay disciplined.

• Deal availability: 29.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 9,747 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.49% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 86.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $19,782.11, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Nissan Altima's resale value?

The current average of $20,145 sits slightly below last year's $22,257.

That price decline suggests the market has softened, which can help you buy more affordably now but may also limit upside if you plan to resell soon. If you’re thinking about future trade-in value, the Altima’s current pricing trend points to a model that is holding value reasonably, but not strongly appreciating.

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 2024 Nissan Altima safe?

The 2024 Altima earned a five-star overall rating from NHTSA, though it scored four-star ratings in the overall frontal crash test and driver-side barrier crash test.

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

Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard, and it includes forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring, rear automatic braking, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane-departure warning. The SL and SR VC-Turbo trims also add a 360-degree surround-view monitor and traffic-sign recognition.

The main caveat is the IIHS result: the 2024 model did not earn the Top Safety Pick+ designation because of poor performance in the organization’s updated side-impact test.

Should I buy a 2024 Nissan Altima or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 29.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 86% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 9.49% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It keeps the Altima relevant with subtle updates, standard safety tech, and available AWD.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $21,170, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $20,145 average.
• It remains a practical sedan choice with comfort, easy tech, and strong safety ratings.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $21,349, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $20,145 average.
• It adds terrific front seats and competitive tech on higher trims.

The bottom line: If you want the best mix of current pricing, broad inventory, and familiar Altima strengths, the 2024 is the sensible default. If you’re especially price-sensitive, the 2023 can still make sense, but you’re paying more on average for it right now.
