Showing results 1 - 24 of 24
24 Nissan Cube lots for sale across 23+ Copart locations — model years 2009–2014, avg. mileage 131,000 mi. 17% clean title, 83% salvage; Front End is the top damage (33%). Bids start at $250, and recent Nissans sold for a median winning bid near $1,750 before fees across the make.
The Cube is the oddball of Nissan's US lineup — a boxy Japanese import sold here only from 2009 through 2014, easy to spot by its asymmetric rear window and wraparound D-pillar. So few change hands at auction that a model-specific median isn't worth quoting, mileage averaging around 131,000. Across the make a recent Nissan sold for a median winning bid near $1,750 before fees, and a straight-bodied Cube with clean glass usually finds a buyer near there, since the styling still has a following among younger drivers and customizers. Most stay in the US, picked up locally or shipped in-country.
Under that quirky shell sits familiar Nissan hardware. The 1.8-liter MR18DE four pairs with either a CVT or a 6-speed manual, and the Cube shares its basic underpinnings with the same-era Versa. That CVT carries the same reputation for shudder and RPM flare under load that dogs Nissan's small cars from this generation, so a rough test of the transmission note matters more than the paint. Special-edition Krom trims add unique wheels and interior accents worth confirming against the VIN before you pay a premium for one. It's a small unibody hatchback, so there's no frame to inspect, but the asymmetric rear glass and D-pillar are pricier to replace than they look — a rear-end lot missing that glass is worth less than the damage photo suggests. A front hit that folds the unibody around the strut towers is the one to walk from; a fender-and-headlight repair on a clean-title Cube is a much easier fix by comparison.
Buying is quick: register free — no dealer license — set a maximum bid and the system bids up to that cap, or take a lot at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.
Note: ACV and damage data come from the original auction listing. Always check the condition and title yourself before you bid.
FAQ
What condition are these Cubes in?
About 24 lots, 83% on a salvage title and the rest clean or rebuilt. Front End shows up most, and mileage averages near 131,000.
Is a salvage Cube worth buying?
Often yes for a fan of the styling, since the mechanicals are shared with more common Nissans and parts aren't hard to source. Too few sell here to pin a model median, so lean on the make-wide number: recent Nissans sold for a median winning bid near $1,750 before fees. A shuddering CVT or a folded unibody is where the math stops working.
What should I check before bidding?
The CVT first — a shudder or an RPM flare under simulated load points to trouble on this generation's transmission. Then the strut towers on any front-end lot, and the asymmetric rear glass and D-pillar trim, which cost more to replace than the photo implies. Cross-check the title brand against the damage photos.
Can I insure and register a salvage Cube?
Only after it's rebuilt and passes a state inspection — then most insurers will cover it, just not the company that totaled it. While it's salvage-titled it can't be road-registered. Check with your insurer before you bid.
How does the auction work?
Register free, no dealer license. Set a maximum bid and the system bids for you up to that cap, or take a lot at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.
How do I check a Cube's history before bidding?
Every lot shows the VIN, damage type and title brand. Run the VIN through a vehicle-history report for prior accidents, mileage and title events before you commit.
What are good alternatives to the Cube?
Buyers cross-shop the Kia Soul for a similarly boxy shape, or the discontinued Honda Element if you want more cargo room. Both usually have healthy salvage counts.
