I just picked this beauty from the Rosen Nissan dealer here in Milwaukee, WI. I negotiated everything via email, was pretty easy, the very first offer I got was $1200 below MSRP, after that I said to a dealer here is X amount this car cost you and you got to be more serious making me an offer, he responded saying "Ok, what is the price you're willing to pay" I said 28,500 for the car with MSRP of $31,470 09 Murano SL AWD Platinum Graphite Black Cloth Splash Guards SL-A Package (Premium package) Floor Mats, Carpeted MSRP: $31,470 Invoice price: $28,961 Dealer's holdback: $564 Negotiated sale price: $28,500.00 Plate transfer: $93.00 Service fee: $149.99 Tax (5.1%): $1,461.15 OTD Price: $30,204.05 So basically I got it $461 below invoice. Awesome car, decent deal!!! |

Is this true? According to this article, Murano requires premium fuel? For current 09 owners - is 16 mpg all that you're getting?

Hi - I went shopping yesterday and realized that there's not much room to haggle on the Murano's here in Louisiana. They only had one at the dealership and it was 33,000 which resulted in an estimated lease payment of 500-550 per month. I'm trying to stay around 400 so I looked at the EX forum and saw that it seems like infiniti is more willing to deal. Any suggestions????

The problem is that Nissan/Infiniti Financing has set a low residual (resale value after x number of years) for the car and will only lease it at a high money factor of .00285 which equates to around 7% interest. Due to this the payments on the Murano are very high. Nissan does this because it's a "new" car with a lot of features and some buyers will pay the higher amount. As inventory builds Nissan will likely lower the money factor on the car and possibly increase the residual. It's exactly for these reasons that I've scratched the Murano from my list. I can lease an Acura MDX with the technology package, a $44K car, for less than I can lease a $38K Murano LE for. |

Replying to: hk52005 (Mar 07, 2008 12:59 pm) For me, it's come down to: - the Murano LE only comes with AWD, which I don't need. - the only way to get the upgraded wheels on the Murano is to spring for the LE (it may seem superficial, but after seeing the 20" rims on the LE, the SL's 18" wheels look tiny) - none of my dealers have an LE without the moonroof, which I don't want - comparing the Murano LE with the Highlander Limited (both equipped the way I want them to be), the Highlander is about $2K cheaper ($3K cheaper if I can't get a Murano LE without the moonroof). - I prefer the styling of the Highlander (this one caught me by surprise; I thought the Murano was better looking in all the photos I saw, but I prefer the Highlander's more truck-like appearance in person) - resale value of the Highlander is likely to be better than the Murano, at least in my area (Toyota has 25% of the new car market share here, and there is ample demand for used, late-model Toyotas) - the Highlander has the third row, which I could use if I had to (would otherwise keep it stowed) and has more cargo room than the Murano The Murano's interior is nicer than the Highlander's. A good example are the door panels. The Murano has a thickly padded armrest and padded vinyl surfaces. The panel around the window switches is either real aluminum (S/SL) or fake wood (LE). The Highlander's armrest is thinly padded, the upper door panel is hard plastic (but very nicely grained so it actually looks like it would be padded), and the window switches (even on the Limited) are surrounded by not-as-nicely grained hard plastic. I'm probably going to hold off purchasing for another few months to see what the 2009 Pilot actually looks like in person. But, for now, the Highlander has moved to the top of my list. |
