Used 2024 Nissan Z for SaleNationwide

How much does the 2024 Nissan Z cost?

Prices have softened 3.50% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 326 listings available, which suggests a modest but workable amount of inventory for shoppers.

Is the 2024 Nissan Z a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Nissan Z earns a 4.5/5 user rating and a 6.67/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Look and feel and Performance.

Owners consistently praise the vintage-inspired design, strong performance, and driving experience, and they often describe it as feeling like a true sports car. The Z also fits buyers who want a stylish, driver-focused coupe with a manual transmission available and a clear enthusiast character.

The trade-offs are real: the expert notes point to limited cargo space and poor value for money, and the ride can be firm enough to feel harsh on rough roads. That means the Z makes the most sense if you care more about performance and personality than everyday practicality.

Only 37.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals, so the market still rewards careful shopping.

Is the 2024 Nissan Z reliable?

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

The owner feedback points to a car that feels dependable in the ways enthusiasts care about most: it delivers the kind of performance and driving experience people can count on, and the strong satisfaction score suggests buyers are generally happy living with it over time. The expert notes also reinforce that the Z is built around a straightforward sports-car formula rather than a complicated setup.

The powertrain is a conventional twin-turbo V6 with rear-wheel drive, which keeps the ownership picture relatively simple for a performance car. Nissan also backs it with three years or 36,000 miles of basic coverage and five years or 60,000 miles of powertrain coverage.

For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that a performance-focused car can be more sensitive to hard use, so condition and maintenance history matter a lot.

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

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 94.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially because this is a sports car that may have been driven hard. Focus on tire wear, brake condition, suspension feel, and signs of track use or poor maintenance. If you want the best ownership experience, pay close attention to how the car was cared for rather than just the odometer reading.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base Sport trim is the simplest version, while the Performance and NISMO add more capability and equipment. The lower trim levels are the better value, and the NISMO is the most track-focused choice.
• Powertrain: All models use a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V6 with rear-wheel drive and a limited-slip differential. The Sport and Performance make 400 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque, while the NISMO raises output to 420 horsepower and 384 lb-ft.
• Safety package: Standard driver aids 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.
• Infotainment: The base model gets an 8-inch touchscreen with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Performance and NISMO 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 were not 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, but it still gives you the core Z formula: the twin-turbo V6, rear-wheel drive, a limited-slip differential, and the manual-transmission option. It makes the most sense if you want the Z experience at the lowest price.
• Performance: This is the best-value trim. It adds the 9-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and the Bose audio system, while keeping the same strong 400-horsepower V6 and manual or automatic choice.
• NISMO: This is the most serious version, with 420 horsepower, track-oriented suspension and brakes, a stiffer chassis, and more aggressive styling. It suits you if you want the most capable Z and are willing to pay for it.

The safety package is standard across the lineup, so you do not need to move up a trim for driver-assistance features.

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

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop patiently but should move quickly on strong listings.

• Deal availability: 37.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 326 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.50% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 94.5% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $41,631, 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 $42,518 sits slightly below last year's $44,060.

That softer pricing suggests the market has cooled a bit, which can help you buy more carefully now but may also limit upside if you plan to resell soon. For a future seller, the good news is that the Z still has enthusiast appeal, and that can help support demand even when prices drift lower.

Because the model has a strong identity and a loyal audience, it should remain easier to move than a less distinctive sports car. Still, the recent price decline means you should expect resale value to depend heavily on condition, mileage, and trim.

Vehicles 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?

The 2024 Nissan Z earns a 6/10 safety score from our experts.

All Nissan Z 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.

The source data does not include crash-test ratings for this model year, so you should lean more heavily on the standard driver-assistance equipment and your own inspection of the car’s condition. As with any low-volume sports car, safety testing coverage can be limited.

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:

• 37.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 94.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.50% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2024 adds extra performance, and the Z NISMO returns with more power, a stiffer chassis, and upgraded brakes.

Consider the 2023 if:

• It offers a fresh redesign feel with strong performance and better value.

The bottom line: If you want the stronger 2024 performance story and can find a clean example at a fair price, the 2024 is the better target. If you are more price-sensitive and mainly want the Z’s core sports-car appeal, the 2023 is worth a look.
