2013 Nissan Altima value
By Hari Vinayak · Updated 2026-06-12
Quick answer
A 2013 Nissan Altima in good condition with average mileage (about 162,500 miles) is worth roughly $6,200 in a private-party sale — a fair range of $5,700 to $6,700, or about $7,150 at a dealer. Note: 2013 is a flagged year for this model (2013–2016) — The worst CVT years: shudder, overheating, and failures often before 120,000 miles. Nissan extended warranties tell the story. Expect to pay at the lower end and budget for that risk.
