Repairable, Salvage and Damaged Nissan Xterra for Sale
Showing results 1 - 24 of 91
91 Nissan Xterra lots for sale across 65+ Copart locations — model years 2000–2015, avg. mileage 177,000 mi. 33% clean title, 66% salvage; Front End is the top damage (44%). Bids start at $200, and recent Nissans sold for a median winning bid around $1,750 before fees across the make.
Nissan discontinued the Xterra in the US after the 2015 model year, so this is a shrinking pool inside Nissan's lineup — too few sell here in any stretch to hold a model-specific median, mileage averaging around 177,000. Across the make a recent Nissan sold for a median winning bid near $1,750 before fees, and a straight-framed Xterra with a solid drivetrain tends to land near or above that mark, since discontinued trucks with a following don't get cheaper with time. Most stay in the US, picked up locally or shipped in-country.
The second-generation Xterra (2005–2015) is the one you'll mostly see, built on the same body-on-frame platform as the Frontier and early Pathfinder — and it shares their known issue: frame corrosion on trucks that spent winters in salt-belt states, so check the rails for rust before anything else. Under the hood it's the 4.0 VQ40DE V6, where a rattle on cold start usually means timing chain guide wear rather than something more serious, but it's worth pricing in either way. The earlier first-gen (2000–2004) ran a 2.4 four or the supercharged 3.3 VG33E, both simpler mechanically but older and rarer to find clean now. Off-Road trims add a locking rear differential and skid plates worth confirming are still bolted on. Because it's a real frame under the body, a front hit's damage often reaches the rails and core support rather than staying in the sheet metal, so look underneath before you price it as a light fix. Non-repairable Xterra lots still move for the V6, transfer case and interior.

FAQ
What condition are these Xterras in?
About 91 lots, 66% on a salvage title and the rest clean or rebuilt. Front End shows up most, and mileage averages about 177,000. Nearly all are the standard Xterra SUV.
Is a salvage Xterra worth buying?
Often yes, since it's discontinued and still has a following among off-road buyers. Too few Xterras 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. Frame rust or a timing-chain rattle on the VQ40DE V6 is where the math stops working.
What should I check before bidding?
Frame rails first, especially rust on trucks that wintered in salt-belt states — the Xterra shares its chassis and this exact issue with the Frontier. Then listen for timing-chain noise on cold start. Confirm the Off-Road trim's locking diff and skid plates are actually on the lot. Cross-check the title brand against the photos.
Can I insure and register a salvage Xterra?
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 an Xterra'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.
