The 2012 Nissan Maxima auction market at a glance
The middle half of sales ran from $200 to $450, a 2.3x spread, so the damage on the car matters far more than the badge.
78% still ran and drove when sold; most were lightly or moderately damaged, which props up the median.
The most common primary damage was front end (52% of sales), followed by rear end (24%).
Next to neighboring years of the Maxima, a 2013 brought $25 less at the median, and a 2011 brought $100 less at the median.
The typical one crossed the block with about 143,000 miles.

How much is a wrecked 2012 Nissan Maxima worth?
Most sold for $200 to $450 at US auctions over the last 6 months, with a median of $325 across 187 sales. Where yours lands depends on the damage, whether it runs, mileage and title.
Does it matter if my 2012 Nissan Maxima still runs?
Yes. 78% of the ones sold still ran and drove. Runners with light damage sell toward the top of the range; non-runners, flood and fire cars sell toward the bottom.
Should I part out my wrecked 2012 Nissan Maxima or sell it whole?
At a median of $325, selling whole usually wins: parting out takes months, and fees and the leftover shell eat most of the difference.
Can I sell a 2012 Nissan Maxima with a salvage title?
Yes. Buyers of damaged cars handle salvage titles every day and price the brand in. A missing title narrows the pool of buyers more than a salvage brand does, and state rules decide who can buy a car without one.
