What Nissan Z do most buyers choose?

The Nissan Z years with the most listings are 2024, 2025, and 2023.

The 2025 model year is holding steady, with prices close to flat year-over-year.

The 2025 and 2024 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Should I buy a used Nissan Z now or wait for the next model?

Buy now if:

• Price trend: The 2025 model is at −0.6% versus a year ago, and the 2024 model is at −2.29%.
• Deal availability: The 2025 model has 33.8% good and great deals, and the 2024 model has 33%.
• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $42,540. The Nissan Z offers a classic two-seat sports-car character with strong performance and a distinctive heritage-inspired design.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: One of the best things about the Nissan Z lives beneath its long, shapely hood. There, you’ll find a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine producing 400 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque (420 hp and 384 lb-ft in the Z Nismo). A six-speed manual gearbox or a nine-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters delivers that power to the rear wheels.
• Tech: In all Nissan Z trims, drivers face a 12.3-inch digital display with Normal, Enhanced, and Sport modes. Upgrade to the Z Performance, Heritage Edition, or Nismo, and the screen grows to 9 inches while adding wireless Apple CarPlay, NissanConnect Services with Wi-Fi hotspot access, a navigation system, and an eight-speaker Bose premium audio system.
• Safety: Nissan equips the Z with forward-collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, blind-spot monitors, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, and automatic high-beam headlights.
• Starting price: Pricing ranges from $44,215 to $66,995, including the $1,245 destination charge.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
