Where the Nissan Altima radiator is listed
We found priced Nissan Altima radiator listings at 327 salvage yards across 42 states. Texas supplies the most, with 229 listings (14% of the total) from 31 yards.

Market analysis
How much does a used Nissan Altima radiator cost?
Asking prices for a used Nissan Altima radiator are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 88% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $188.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, 2.0L (turbo), lists at a $206 median, while 2.5L commands $351, a 70% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2018 units carry the lowest median at $82, while 2024 tops the table at $240. Parts from 2007–2018 are interchangeable, so if the 2018 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 12 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Nissan Altima sits 42% below the Mercedes GLE Class ($300), 12% below the Mercedes S Class ($200), and 17% above the Ford Explorer ($150) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used radiator: what to check
- Inspect for bent fins, crusted seams, and dried coolant trails, all signs of leaks.
- Confirm automatic vs manual transmission versions; auto radiators include cooler lines.
- Plastic end tanks age badly. Favor low-mileage donors.
- Pressure-tested units are worth the premium; ask.
