Are used Altima prices going down?
Prices are roughly flat. Comparing the same 5 model years, median asking prices moved 0% between Oct 25, 2026 and Nov 7, 2026. Older cars also lose value every month as they age, so a flat market still means depreciation for the car you own.
Dealer asking price vs. trade-in vs. private sale
The prices on this page are what US dealers are asking for a Nissan Altima today, before negotiation, taxes and fees. A dealer's trade-in offer for the same car is usually well below its asking price, because the dealer has to recondition it, carry it and still make a margin. A private sale typically lands between the two. To estimate your own car, try the trade-in calculator or the used car value tool.
