Now's the time to buy! by cubuff

I just purchased a 2009 Nissan Murano SL a few weeks back and it doesn't take much to get one below invoice, especially if you are not too picky about int./ext. colors. I think all the car dealers are hurting right now and will be willing to negotiate. Considering the 2009 Murano was a brand-new re-design, I wasn't expecting to get it for below invoice but it was quite easy when contacting multiple dealers in the area via the net. Getting initial quotes over the net is the only way to go, and doing this towards the end of the month is best I think. You should be as specific as possible when requesting quotes, what options you want and don't want, etc. I went and test drove the Highlander, Pilot, and the Camry, Altima, and Accord as well. All the dealers really wanted my business. I liked some of the other cars but the Murano was the most fun to drive and fit/finish inside is head and shoulders aboveToyota and Honda. I was a bit skittish about buying a Nissan for the 1st time, as they tend to have a hot or miss reliability but since it was based on the Altima sedan which has high marks I figured it was pretty safe (and the 07 was rated fairly high too). I was able to get 4.89 APR financing for 63 mos. from a credit union as Nissan isn't offering anything great right now as far as incentives on the Murano.

I found dealing with the internet sales person via email was a great way to buy my 09 Murano. I started emailing at the beginning of March ;which gave me a chance to contact other dealers for price comparsion. However, I did not purchase until the last day of the month and felt I got a great deal on trade and on my Murano.
My finance rate is not great, as someone mentioned there are no incentives on the financing so check other banks. I checked with other banks but never committed to one assuming the rates from Nissan couldn't be that bad--it was 6.9%. Now I am looking back at the banks for a re-finance before my first car payment.

Totally agree. We just purchased a 2009 Nissan Murano SL this weekend for $600 below invoice in Southern California. Internet really is the only way to go, just make sure you know exactly what you want and do your homework. The dealer gave me their best price from the get-go so there was no haggling involved. No other dealers were willing to beat that price. Also the Internet/Fleet Manager I was dealing with was super nice and accomodating so the decision was easy for us. I also waited until the end of the month to start my inquiries. The whole quote gathering/back and forth process with all the dealerships took a little longer than expected so I was a little worried that the dealership we decided to go with wouldn't honor their pricing after the end of the month but they kept to their original pricing.
 
All in all it was a great car-buying experience. As long as you go in fully prepared and take the time to do your research it should be a relatively smooth process.

vehicle rolls backwards on hill after taking foot off brake by nl1777

Has anyone experience there vehicle rolling backwards when they are on a hill with the brake on then the light turns green you take your foot off the brake and proceed to place your foot on the gas and before you know it you are rolling backwards. This does not seem normal. Other vehicles i have owned would hold still until you proceed forward with gas. Is this a problem with any one else. I think its dangerous or is it just me. I just picked up my new 09 LE murano on Friday. I love it otherwise.

I am leaning toward the 2009 Murano for a number of reasons. I like the way they changed the front and back lights this year and when putting the options on I want it is a better deal than the Highlander which I also considered. I have sent a request for a quote to two dealers and am waiting for their reply. How much difference can I expect to pay from an internet quote and out the door price? Is the internet price usually the best price I can get? My next problem is finding the one that I want. Or should I say my wife wants. She is set on the Glacier Pearl color with the Bose stereo system (the premium package). And that is all we want. The problem I have seen in looking at the dealers is I can get the color with premium but also included is the leather seat package which jumps the price up more than I want. I know they make them with the package I want but so far no luck finding one in Glacier Pearl.

I picked up my Murano on Monday and found it does the same thing! Doesn't seem normal to me but I wonder if it has anything to do with the CVT trans??

I feel the internet/email price was better, one dealer did not honor their internet price and claimed there were all other fees that would be added onto that. This was obviously a sales tactic. I found the larger dealers honored their internet price (the one that didn't was a smaller/lower volume dealer).
I endend up with 2 dealers that I thought were offereing me the best prices; I got one price quote that was $1000 under invoice and another that was $1500 under invoice. I don't have the paperwork right in front of me but I think I paid tax about $1700, doc ~$150, title ?, plate transfer~83?...(taxes were adjusted for my trade).
I also considered the highlander but felt the Murano was better sized, more sporty, and more "modern".

Wow, so you were able to get an 09 SL Murano for $1500 UNDER invoice??? The dealer holdback is around $938 under invoice (for all the gizmos) so you were tapping into the profit the owner paid Nissan for the fleet of cars. It would be great if you could post all the options of your car, the price you paid, and how you were able to get your price so low. Thanks!

i am going to contact my dealer today to find out if this should be happening. I was wondering if it had anything to do with AWD. I always had a 4 x 4.I will let you know what I find out.

That's phenomenal, and I hope the sign of a pricing trend.
 
Please share all the details with us, and the name of the dealer. That kind of price may be worth a trip!!
