Used 2024 Nissan Z for Sale nearColumbus, OH

How much does the 2024 Nissan Z cost?

Prices have softened 2.70% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 315 listings available, which suggests you have some room to compare prices and condition. If you find a listing below $41,639.68, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

Is the 2024 Nissan Z a good car?

Yes — owners give it 4.5/5, and the expert rating is 6.67/10. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel and Performance.

Owners consistently praise the vintage-inspired design, strong power, and engaging driving experience. The feedback also points to a car that feels like a true sports car, with handling and performance standing out as recurring strengths.

The trade-offs are familiar for this kind of car: the ride can be harsh on rough roads, and the cabin is focused more on driving than everyday practicality. That lines up with the car’s sports-car mission, especially if you want a performance-first coupe rather than a comfort-first daily driver.

With the Z positioned as a modern sports car for buyers who want style and driving enjoyment, the 31.7% share of good or great deals shows there are still opportunities in the market.

Is the 2024 Nissan Z reliable?

Owners rate it 4.5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner summary points to a car that feels dependable in the ways sports-car shoppers care about most: strong performance, a satisfying driving experience, and a design that owners continue to value. That kind of positive feedback matters when you’re looking for a used car you can count on over time.

The expert evaluation also emphasizes the Z’s straightforward, driver-focused character, which can be a good sign for long-term ownership because there’s less emphasis on complicated luxury features. The warranty coverage adds another layer of reassurance for used buyers who want some protection against early ownership surprises.

For a used purchase, your biggest long-term risk is less about outright reliability and more about how hard the car was driven and maintained.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 93% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

Even with a strong share of clean listings, you should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection. Focus on signs of hard use, especially if the car was driven aggressively or tracked, and pay close attention to tire wear, brake condition, and suspension feel.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: Base Z Sport models are the most stripped-down, while Performance and NISMO versions add more aggressive wheels, upgraded tires, and a more focused interior. The NISMO also gets Recaro seats and red trim, so you should compare equipment carefully if you want the most complete package.
• Powertrain: All models use a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 with rear-wheel drive and a limited-slip differential. The Sport and Performance trims offer either a six-speed manual or nine-speed automatic, while the NISMO is automatic-only and tuned for more track-oriented response.
• Safety package: All models include adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, and forward collision warning. There are no crash-test ratings listed here, so condition and feature verification matter.
• Infotainment: Base models get an 8-inch touchscreen with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Performance and NISMO models upgrade to a 9-inch screen with wireless Apple CarPlay, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a Bose eight-speaker audio system.
• Fuel efficiency: EPA fuel economy ratings for 2024 models weren’t available in the source data.

Which 2024 Nissan Z trim should I buy?

The 2024 Nissan Z is offered in 3 trim levels: Sport, Performance, NISMO.

Here's the short version:

• Sport: This is the entry point, and it gives you the core Z experience with the twin-turbo V6, manual or automatic transmission, and the basic infotainment setup. It makes sense if you want the Z’s style and performance without paying for extras you may not need.
• Performance: This is the best-value trim for most shoppers because it adds the more desirable infotainment upgrade, wireless Apple CarPlay, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a Bose audio system while keeping the same core driving formula. If you want the most balanced mix of equipment and price, this is the one to target.
• NISMO: This is the most serious version, with more power, track-focused suspension and brakes, unique styling, and Recaro seats. It suits you if you want the sharpest Z and are willing to pay for the extra capability.

All trims include the same standard driver-assistance features, so the main differences are in performance, comfort, and tech.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory and pricing movement to reward comparison shopping.

• Deal availability: 31.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 315 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.70% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 93.0% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $41,639.68, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Nissan Z's resale value?

The current average of $43,242 sits slightly below last year's $44,440.

That price movement suggests the market has eased a bit, which can help you buy more selectively now. For a future seller, it also means resale value may depend heavily on condition, mileage, and how well the car was cared for.

Because this is a sports car with strong enthusiast appeal, well-kept examples should continue to draw interest. Cars with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 Nissan Z safe?

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

All models include adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, automatic high beams, and forward collision warning. That gives you a solid standard safety suite for a sports car, even though crash-test ratings were not released in the source data.

The main caveat is that there are no published IIHS or NHTSA crash-test results here, so you should lean more heavily on the standard driver-assistance equipment and the car’s overall condition when shopping used.

Should I buy a 2024 Nissan Z 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:

• 31.7% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 93% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 2.70% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2024 model adds an extra dose of performance, and the Z NISMO returns with greater track capability.

Consider the 2023 if:

• It introduced the redesigned Z and established the modern version of the car.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger current-year performance story and a market that still offers some negotiating room, the 2024 is the better target. If your priority is simply getting into the redesigned Z at the lowest possible entry point, the 2023 is worth a look as a value-focused alternative.
