Replying to: bkansky (Apr 07, 2008 9:12 am) There were 2 dealers that had the great prices, Rosen Nissan in Gurnee IL and Woodfield Nissan in Schaumburg IL. I contacted both dealers via the internet and went back and forth on prices and options via email. I did shop for the Murano when they first came out, no one wanted to deal and wanted sticker price. Now in the area, there are more 09s out there and the dealers seem more willing to deal. ..of course some more than others. I have walked away from deals that I weren't what I wanted to pay and was willing to keep doing that until I got a price I thought was reasonable. In the forums, some ask when is the best time to buy; it seemed for me the last day of the month and quarter was the best. I had dealers calling me that last weekend asking when I would come in. So in the chicago area, it seemed the dealers (well some) were willing and able to sell at what seems like a great deal. I think the times are changing as more 09s are available the more the dealer may be willing to deal. I felt the key to finding the right deal at the right time was to be patient, contact mutliple dealers via internet , and be willing to walk away if wasn't what I really wanted, and I moved onto the next dealer. I am sure my trade had something to do with my deal, however, the price of the trade was not discussed until I actually walked in to see if the dealer would honor their prices. Someone mentioned the dealer hold back is close to $1000, so that may be why some can do that. Hope this helps. I did shop around and drove many vehicles, dealt on a few(besides the murano) and walked away. I saw what all these dealers wanted to give me for my trade and researched the value. --I am sure the dealer still made some good money off me.

Replying to: cscardycat (Apr 07, 2008 8:31 pm) and that's fine. I just don't want people thinking that the deal can be made without a trade, and im sure the dealer went on a limb to assume you had one, and that money could be made there, which is why they gave you the price they did. i would be willing to bet that at this time, a dealer will not give a $1500 under invoice deal on a person who is not trading anything in, unless Nissan has some volume incentives that they are close to reaching. i used to sell cars, don't any longer, and considered myself to be very honest and up front with my customers. i left, because i got tired of being the "bad guy (or gal, in my case)" without people really knowing how i operated. it was kind of hard day in and day out to have people just hate you because of what you did as a job. so im speaking from experience on both sides of the desk - and hope that people sometimes take a half a second and treat the salesperson with respect. i think that if you know what a good price is, know what your trade is approximately worth, and go in and be friendly but firm and knowledgable with the salesperson, without being confrontational - you could probably get a great deal everytime - and a pleasurable experience to boot! too many people are scared and confrontational and it just becomes a very miserable experience, and it really shouldn't be. cs - sounds like you did good for yourself - enjoy the murano!!! -thene

Replying to: philosopher1 (Mar 19, 2008 2:02 pm) You are getting ripped off!!! I live in the Salt Lake City surrounding area. I just purchased a 09 Murano SL AWD with Tech, Prem, Leather, Moon roof, Splash, Illuminated kickplates, Cargo Protector... MSRP $36,515 Dealer $33,328 Holdback 3%, I managed to get all of the hold back as I put two dealerships against each other for my business. One just wouldn't be undersold or I got 2 years free service for the vehicle. Now that's service. Other details of my deal... I leased the vehicle for $546/mon through NMAC. MF .00029 Residual 53% or about 18,900. After haggling back and forth I didn't have to put any money down, waived security fee, rolled the document fees and first payment in to the lease. Result again... $546/mon, 39 mon lease, 12000miles including taxes and fees. I see your options and the vehicle that you are looking at has an invoice of $36,438. There are a couple choices that you can make in this area: 1. I was told by Tim Dahle Nissan Southtown that they will honor the Costco Deal of 1% above invoice as they pricematch but this is still not the best deal out there. This turns out to be about $500 over invoice. I didn't even have to haggle this price, they told me this directly over the phone when I asked what kind of price I could get. 2. Stay away from the Murray store. 3. Contact Ken Garff, when I contacted them, I talked with a gentlemen by the name of Arken... His first quote to me on the phone was invoice for the vehicle. They were very professional. Arken was busy at one point so they gave me to their GM, he actually quoted me higher prices and would indicate he couldn't get me the car I wanted. The next day, Arken called me back and says I saw the prices my GM gave you, let's go back to the other numbers and continued to deal. Now there are a couple banks and credit unions that appear to be having some deals on the leases with purchases avg about 5.5% for good credit. 4. I pittted Ken Garff against Christopher Nissan in Bountiful, they have a motto, they will not lose a deal over the price. I will tell you what, they lived up to that expectation and more!! It basically came down to a point where Arken said he recommend taking the other deal, Christopher Nissan had won this battle.... Talk with a salesman Steve or Rex, good guys to work with, they will be straight up with you. This is where I ended up purchasing my vehicle. Only after 2 calls and still working things back and forth, Christopher went ahead and brought the car to their lot that I wanted. It's funny, it happened to be the same one that I looked at at Tim Dahle. They were ready for us when we got up there, finalized the paperwork which seems like an eternity, drove off happier than I could be. After driving the Murano for the past week, I do not miss my Maxima. Good Luck!!!

Replying to: cscardycat (Apr 07, 2008 8:24 pm) But the comments that are being made are correct... Do your homework? Know the MSRP and Invoice of everything, options, etc. Call multiple dealers, ask for salesmanagers, not just for sales. Don't just get internet offers, these usually are not the best deals, but could be a good starting point. Call them!! It is so much easier to make a deal over the phone than in person. This all makes for a smooth transaction without having set foot on the showroom floor. I hate the "let me talk with my manager while you wait for 15 minutes for a number." When that happens, I walk out... Don't waste your time!! Know what you can afford and be realistic. Looking for leasing information and residuals, use leasecompare.com and check out their forums. They may be able to actually find the car you want at the best rates and payments... Want an idea what's available for financing look at bankrate.com. BTW, make sure you test drive the car, but do it at a dealership you know you are not going to buy from..... If they know you love it, you are history!!
