Used 2024 Nissan Altima for Sale nearWorcester, MA

How much does the 2024 Nissan Altima cost?

Prices have softened 6.62% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 10,768 listings available, which suggests you should have room to compare prices and equipment.

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 stands out as a sedan that stays relevant with subtle updates, an attractive starting price, and useful standard safety tech. It also offers available all-wheel drive, which adds appeal if you want extra traction for commuting or winter driving.

The trade-offs are clear: performance is pedestrian, and the material quality is unimpressive. The Bose stereo is also lacking.

The Altima’s 36.4% good-or-great deal share suggests there are still worthwhile listings to find if you shop carefully.

Is the 2024 Nissan Altima reliable?

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

The Altima is described as a stable, familiar sedan that has remained largely unchanged for years, which can be a plus if you want a proven formula rather than a fresh redesign. Its easy-to-use technology and comfortable ride also support everyday dependability.

The performance notes point to a naturally aspirated 2.5-liter four-cylinder that is adequate, with a CVT that manages power well. The cost-effectiveness notes also point to 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 well-kept example may still feel dated if you expect stronger performance or more upscale cabin materials.

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

Accident-free inventory is solid at 82.3% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report carefully and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially if you’re considering a higher-mileage example or one with more equipment. Focus on cabin condition, infotainment operation, and whether the car’s features match the trim you’re paying for.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The Altima is offered in S, SV, SR, and SL trims. The base S is the most stripped-down version, while higher trims add more equipment and available all-wheel drive.
• Powertrain: The standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder is adequate, while the SR VC-Turbo brings more power. Available all-wheel drive is a key advantage if you want extra traction.
• Safety package: Nissan Safety Shield 360 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. ProPilot Assist is available on SV and standard on SL and SR VC-Turbo.
• Infotainment: Most trims use an 8-inch touchscreen, while the base S has a 7-inch screen. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are available only with the largest screen, and NissanConnect is standard on SL and SR VC-Turbo.
• Fuel efficiency: The AWD setup is estimated at 26 mpg city, 36 highway, and 30 combined. The VC-Turbo with FWD returns 25 mpg city, 34 highway, and 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 price and are comfortable with the most basic equipment. It gets the smaller 7-inch screen, while wireless phone projection is not available here.
• SV: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds more everyday usability and can be equipped with all-wheel drive. It also opens the door to ProPilot Assist, which is a meaningful upgrade if you do a lot of highway driving.
• SR: Choose this if you want a sportier-feeling Altima and the option for the more powerful VC-Turbo engine. It also can be equipped with all-wheel drive, but the turbo engine itself is not available with AWD.
• SL: This is the most feature-rich mainstream trim, with the larger 12.3-inch display, NissanConnect, ProPilot Assist, and a 360-degree surround-view monitor. It’s the right pick if you want the most technology and convenience features.

The safety package is strongest on the SL and SR VC-Turbo, which add the surround-view monitor and traffic-sign recognition.

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 patiently but still move quickly on the right car.

• Deal availability: 36.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 10,768 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.62% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 82.3% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $19,774, 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 $19,780 sits slightly below last year's $21,183.

That softer pricing can help you buy more affordably now, but it also means future sellers may need to be realistic about expectations if the market stays competitive. A model with strong equipment, clean history, and desirable features like all-wheel drive should be easier to move later.

Because the Altima remains a familiar, value-focused sedan, well-kept examples should continue to appeal to shoppers who want a practical four-door. 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 earns a five-star overall rating from NHTSA, though it scores four-star ratings in frontal crash and driver-side barrier crash tests.

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

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. ProPilot Assist is available on SV and standard on SL and SR VC-Turbo, and those higher trims also add a 360-degree surround-view monitor and traffic-sign recognition.

The main caveat is that the 2024 model did not receive the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ result that the 2022 Altima earned, due to poor performance in the 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:

• Price trend: Prices have softened 6.62% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• It keeps the Altima relevant with available all-wheel drive and strong standard safety tech.

Consider the 2023 if:

• At $20,123, the 2023 costs more than the current year's $19,780 average.
• It remains comfortable, easy to live with, and strong on safety.

Consider the 2025 if:

• At $20,591, the 2025 costs more than the current year's $19,780 average.

The bottom line: The 2024 is the best starting point if you want the strongest mix of price, safety equipment, and available AWD. If you’re shopping strictly on value, the 2024 also looks like the most appealing buy among these nearby years.
