What Nissan Altima do most buyers choose?

The Nissan Altima years with the most listings are 2016, 2024, and 2015.

These higher-volume years tend to attract more shoppers because they offer a wider selection and a clearer value proposition. When more listings are available, it is usually easier to compare trims, mileage, and condition to find the right fit.

What is the Nissan Altima's resale value?

Most Altima model years are down year over year, and several recent examples have seen double-digit declines. That creates better opportunities for used buyers, especially if you are shopping newer model years that have softened meaningfully. The pattern also shows that older examples can be especially attractive when you want the lowest entry price.

The 2015, 2017, and 2022 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.
