Replying to: dpct (Mar 25, 2003 7:42 am) I also got a replacement policy for those very expensive 20" wheels. For five years I get at least two flat incidents and one replacement from any Nisssan dealer in the contiguous US. My cost per incident can't exceed $1600. That takes a load off my mind and my wallet. Just when I thought I was tired of driving I am in love again. This SUV is great and I am glad I stuck to my guns and got exactly what I wanted because it is more than worth it. |

Replying to: 2009holdout (Mar 25, 2008 12:28 pm) I'm looking for a tinted bronze SL w/premium package only [& mats and splash guards], and its apparently a tough find. Found one, but it sold before I could get on it. Told the dealer if he found one to not add the protection package. None of the dealers were aware of an April rebate. I don't think all of the internet sales folks are actually searching for me, so I will expand my dealer search, and also participate in the search myself. Is there any way to just do a specific vehicle search, rather than searching each dealer's inventory?

Replying to: dannyo (Mar 25, 2008 3:55 pm) Whats the protection package? vehicle etching?? if you go on nissan's website.. you can search the inventories of all the nissan dealers in your area.. you might find the car you want.

| An FYI for those in the Washington DC / Balitmore / PA area looking to buy a 09 Murano soon. While reseaching LE prices, I saw today that FitzMall has lowered their price to $600 below invoice. So either Nissan is providing some dealer assistance or Fitzgerald sure wants to hit a sales target. | |

Replying to: bmr123 (Mar 25, 2008 5:33 pm) For protection package see #1636 above. Window etching is a new one to me. I've used the dealer inventory search via Nissan's web site, but it is kind of ponderous to review 70 dealers [400 mile radius] one dealer at a time. I was hoping for a more efficient search process. |

Replying to: ggcars (Mar 22, 2008 9:52 pm) Technology, Premium, Navigation, Leather, Moonroof, Illuminated Door Sills, Cargo Pad, Floor Mats, and Splash Guards... so sweet. MSRP: $36,765 Invoice: $33,462 Holdback: $938 Offered: $33,000 Under Invoice: $462 California Tax (7.75%): $2,561.76 License Fee: $275 Tire Fee: $8.75 Paid: $35,900.15 Total of MSRP + Tax + License: $39898.04 Saved: $3997.89 from buying MSRP Best car I've ever owned, atleast from an initial quality perspective. All my friends want one now. It's a starship on wheels.  It feels and looks like it's nuclear powered, but is disappointing it still has to rely on a 100+ year old internal combustion engine technology. The lesson I learned from this purchase is to do your homework and offer a price in the lower range of the holdback and make THEM say "No". If they do say No, then you take that number to other dealers and see if they will accept it. Tell them you know what the invoice and holdback numbers are on the car because you found them here on Edmunds or other similar web sites. The sales manager at one point actually brought out a sheet that listed the invoice prices AND holdback amount for the car I wanted and essentially told me, "what do you want to give me?" DO NOT let them talk to you about monthly payment amounts, interest rates, or trade-in values. Your SOLE focus is on the bottom line price of the new car BELOW INVOICE. I was nice and gave them about $550 in holdback money, which is a profit for them on top of any bulk purchase profit the owner makes from Nissan (which we never see the data for). Apparently the salesmen make their money from whatever is offered/paid on top of invoice price... otherwise the two salesmen that helped me split a $100 default commission for anything sold under invoice. Car dealers want to move cars off their lot so they can buy even more cars at a LOWER PRICE from the manufacturer. Yes they want to try to make some money on each individual sale, but THEY DON'T HAVE TO. When I was presented with the finance guy, he went through his standard presentation of extended warranty, LoJack, upgraded security system, paint sealant, upholstery protectant, window etching, etc. I said "No" to all of them and I replied that I would only pay $1,000 for the 7 year / 100,000 mile warranty. He initially informed me that warranty was $2,700 but said he could offer it to me for $100 over his "cost" of $1,581. I held the line at $1,000 but he wouldn't budge, nor would he be willing to take an allowance out of the dealer holdback to make up the $581 difference. In the end of the finance discussion I wasn't able to get the warranty for $1,000, nor did I purchase any of the other items he was offering. But obviously I did learn where his line was for nearly all of these upsold items. I have excellent credit but I was only offered 5.9% interest (mainly because it is a new model) so I opted to pay cash instead. So I'd like to hear from all of you if I should: 1. take the finance guy up on the $1,681 extended warranty for 7 years / 100,000 miles? 2. if I should purchase a different warranty elsewhere? 3. or not purchase the extended warranty altogether? All in all, I learned a lot, I finally purchased a car "the right way" so I didn't pay any more than I really had to, and I got an outstanding vehicle. Please ask any questions you like. |
