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. |

Replying to: bradpennock (Mar 26, 2008 5:19 pm) I did a bit research on extended warranty, * dont take warrantly online (most of the companies have bellyup in the past ) * ppl are advising to take the nissan gold warranty. (that depends on your long term commitment to the car ..etc.. ) I am about to negotiate with my dealer today.. i think i will opt out of the extended warranty unless they offer me for 1000$

Replying to: barunk (Mar 27, 2008 4:01 am) I have done my fair share of work searching around on these topics and found that there are several reputable online warranty companies out there. Warranty Direct has been in business for over 25 years and is considered one of the best, for cheaper prices than the dealers will sell to you for. I think by saying "don't take warranty online" you are letting a few bad apples spoil the whole bunch. That's like one person who had a problem with their CVT in an older Murano stating "Don't buy Murano's, they have transmission problems".

Replying to: musky300 (Mar 27, 2008 10:53 am) If it's a manufacturer's warranty that's backed by the manufacturer and can be honored at any of the manufacturer's dealers, then it's probably a good idea to shop online and at dealers to compare prices. I would be much more hesitant to buy a third-party warranty, be it in person at a dealer or online. That's where I've heard of people losing out because the company behind the warranty went bankrupt. |

I have been looking at buying a Nissan Murano for about 2 months now. Trying to figure out what exactly I wanted was the hardest decision. I first wanted the LE but live in Dallas, Texas and the only real difference between the SL and the LE is that the LE has 20" tires, chrome roof rack(instead of black), AWD and wood grain(SL has silver). For me I couldn't rationalize the difference in price between the LE and SL to pay that much more. Everything else you can add to the SL. I bought the Murano SL yesterday and LOVED the dealership I worked with. My salesman Mark was great! I wish I could work with people like those at Courtesy Nissan in Richardson, Texas every time I buy a car. They were a "no pressure" dealership. Very honest - explained everything and being a female and not very comfortable with the buying experience they made sure I understand every fee, charge, etc. I think it's worth your time/effort to try this dealership. They're THAT good to work with. I did my homework and I think that it helps to understand what the invoice prices are for your car and add ons and have print outs to take in with you of your research you've found online. Right now (March 2008) Nissan has a promotion for their dealerships to hit a certain number of sales by the end of this month b/c this is Nissan's 50th anniversary. This is the perfect time to get a good deal if you can do it before the end of the month. You can get the Murano SL for invoice or close to it IF you time it right. Go in at the end of the month when they are trying to get their numbers up. That may work in your favor. I can't tell you how great this dealership was to work with. I felt like they were more than fair with me, very upfront and honest about pricing - it was a "no tricks" kind of buying experience and I am so happy with my purchase. I bought the 2009 Nissan Murano Black with Black leather, splash guards, dual moonroof, premium package, technology package, leather package, and floor mats. Had a destination chg of $745. The MSRP on the car was 34,540. The invoice price on the car is $31571 and that is just to help you to know what room you have to play with. (you can find the invoice price of your car on many websites online) I am pumped to pick up my car Monday - they are tinting my windows and adding a pin stripe. If you want to email me, I'll send you the contact information of the guy I worked with. He is awesome and I am a hard person to work with! Courtesy Nissan - Richardson, Texas (near Dallas) I doubt there will be any rebates on the murano anytime soon since it is in such high demand right now. I would settle for nothing less than $300 above invoice and anything better than that is a great deal! I'm not even going to tell you how good of a deal I got. It is unreal.......and I promised I wouldn't tell how good they were to me. But, my advise is to do your homework - remember you get more bees with honey than you do with vinegar, and be willing to leave if you don't get the exact price or car you want. Don't settle. This is a huge purchase - You should feel great about your deal when you leave. Great salesman, great dealership. Courtesy Nissan is the way to go.... I had a terrible experience earlier in the year when first shopping for the Murano at Bankston Nissan in Irving. I will never go back. The people I worked with were pressure salesman and I felt they were playing a back and forth game with me. Once you settle on your "price" here are the additional fees you can expect to incur. This is what I paid: Sales Tax: Mine was $1671 in Texas Dlr Inv Tax: $64.14 License Fee: $70.80 Title Fee - $33.00 2 Year State Inspection: $21.75 Document Fee: $50.00 Deputy Fee: $5.00 Best of luck in your buying experience. |
