What Nissan Versa Note do most buyers choose?

The Nissan Versa Note years with the most listings are 2015, 2016, and 2014.

The highest-volume years tend to be the easiest places to shop because you get more inventory to compare and more chances to find the right price and condition. They also usually attract the broadest mix of trims and mileage levels, which gives you more flexibility.

What is the Nissan Versa Note's resale value?

Most of the years in this table are moving lower year over year, which can work in your favor if you're shopping used. One year is essentially flat, so the overall pattern points to softer pricing rather than broad upward momentum. That makes the model appealing if you want to buy after some of the initial value loss has already happened.

The 2015 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2015, 2017, and 2016 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the Nissan Versa Note safe?

• 2014: 6/10

For the safest used buy, the 2014 model posts the highest confirmed score of 6/10.
