Showing results 1 - 24 of 477
478 Nissan Frontier lots for sale across 171+ Copart locations — model years 1998–2026, avg. mileage 126,000 mi. 29% clean title, 67% salvage; Front End is the top damage (50%). Bids start at $200, and recent Nissans sold for a median winning bid around $1,750 before fees across the make.
The Frontier is Nissan's mid-size truck, and it doesn't turn over here nearly as fast as the sedans — too few sell in any given stretch to pin down a model-specific median, so this pool reads thinner than the Sentra or Rogue crowd. Across the make a recent Nissan sold for a median winning bid near $1,750 before fees, and trucks with a straight frame and a healthy drivetrain tend to clear that mark, since running gear holds value even wrecked. Most stay in the US, picked up locally or shipped in-country.
The long-running D40 (2005–2021) is the truck you'll see most, split between the 2.5 four and the 4.0 VQ40DE V6 — the V6's known weak point is timing chain guide wear that shows up as a rattle on cold start, worth listening for before you bid. That generation also falls into Nissan's frame-corrosion years; trucks that spent winters in salt-belt states can hide rust well back on the rails, so get underneath before you trust the paint. The redesigned 2022-and-newer D41 switched to a 3.8 V6 and a 9-speed automatic, too new yet to have a track record of its own — treat any of these as a fresh platform and lean on the VIN history instead of a reputation. Being body-on-frame, a front hit's real damage often sits in the frame and core support, not just the sheet metal, so check both. PRO-4X trucks add locking diffs and skid plates worth confirming are still on the lot. When the frame's shot, non-repairable Frontier lots still move for the bed, cab and drivetrain.
Buying is quick: register free — no dealer license — set a maximum bid and the system bids up to that cap, or take a truck 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 Frontiers in?
About 478 lots, 67% on a salvage title and the rest clean or rebuilt. Front End leads, and mileage averages about 126,000. Nearly all are the standard Frontier pickup.
Is a salvage Frontier worth buying?
Often yes, if the frame is straight and the engine's healthy — trucks hold value better than sedans even wrecked. Too few Frontiers sell here to pin a model median, so lean on the make-wide number instead: recent Nissans sold for a median winning bid around $1,750 before fees. Rust through the frame or a rattly VQ40DE timing chain is where the math stops working.
What should I check before bidding?
Frame rails and core support first on any front hit, plus rust on D40-era trucks that spent years in salt-belt states. Then the engine — timing-chain noise on the 4.0 V6. Confirm which generation you're looking at, since parts and drivetrains differ. Cross-check the title brand against the photos.
Can I insure and register a salvage Frontier?
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 Frontier'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.
