2013–2018 Nissan Altima part-out value: what each part sells for
Top parts on a 2013–2018 Altima list for about $5,218 combined in asking prices, but the fender tells the real story: sellers ask anywhere from $75 to $450 for one, a six-to-one range on a single panel. Color, trim and how straight the metal is decide where a given car lands, so buying one blind for its sheetmetal is guesswork. The drivetrain is the anchor — the transmission lists around $1,723 on 192 listings.

What this means for an Altima part-out
Body panels are where configuration shows up hardest on this Altima. Fenders run from about $75 to $450, front doors from roughly $217 to $765 with a median near $450, and hoods from about $195 to $699. Paint code, trim equipment and damage history all move a panel inside those ranges, so pricing a car sight-unseen on body value overstates it more often than not. Verify the color and the panel itself before you commit.
Eight trims ran in this sedan, all front-wheel drive, with two engines: the 2.5L I4 and the 3.5L V6. The SR versions — 2.5 SR and 3.5 SR — joined for 2016, the plain 2.5 and the 3.5 SV ran through 2016, and the 3.5 S ended after 2014. The four-cylinder and V6 cars do not use the same transmission and the two don't interchange, so confirm what's under the hood before you list one. Front-end and body fitment can also split inside this run — check the exact year.
Depth is on your side for the big pieces: the transmission at about $1,723 and the engine near $698 both sit on close to 200 active listings, so those numbers are solid to plan around, though the real money on a transmission lands below the ask once selling fees and freight come off. The catalytic converter, listed around $540, and wheels near $180 rest on far fewer listings — 19 and 16 — so treat those as softer.
Bottom line: the alternator near $64, starter around $50 and engine computer around $45 only pay if you're moving them in volume, so don't build the buy price on the small electrical stuff.

Altima part-out — common questions
How much is a 2013–2018 Nissan Altima worth parted out?
The top parts list for about $5,218 combined in asking prices, led by the transmission around $1,723 and the engine near $698. Those are asking figures from active listings — actual sales come in lower, especially on the transmission after fees and freight.
Why do fender prices vary so much on this Altima?
Asking prices run from about $75 to $450, a six-to-one range. Color match, trim-level equipment and whether the panel is straight all decide where a given fender falls, so confirm the actual panel and paint before you price it.
Is the transmission a better pull than the engine here?
On asking prices, yes — around $1,723 versus about $698 for the engine, and both rest on nearly 200 listings, so the numbers are reliable. Just note the four-cylinder and V6 cars use different transmissions that don't interchange.
Do parts carry across all the 2013–2018 years?
Not cleanly. Eight trims ran in this generation: the 2.5 SR and 3.5 SR arrived for 2016, the base 2.5 and 3.5 SV ended after 2016, and the 3.5 S ended after 2014. Verify the exact year, engine and trim before listing.
What about the catalytic converter?
Asking prices center on about $540, with listings from roughly $190 to $770. That's built on 19 active listings, a much smaller pool than the engine or transmission, so treat it as directional and check the specific unit and engine it came off.
