My deal was made at the end of March. A comment that was made to me by our salesman and the sales manager since we could not take possession of the cars until April 1st was that they still had time to submit the paperwork to Nissan for March or the Nissan 50th Anniversary sale (one of the two). So although I did get most of the holdback, I am sure they were on an incentive plan from the factory. The more cars they sold, the bigger kickback they would get as a bonus. I have heard this ranges between about $500-1000 so the dealer is always going to make money on the deal. Nissan advertising for a vehicle is about $200 for each vehicle as an FYI....
 
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!!

I called the dealership today and asked to speak with service. I told him my concerns and he said not to worry. It is normal for this to happen. He said something about the weight of the vehicle will sometimes make this happen. So I dont know if this is true. I will try to avoid big hills or keep one foot on brake and other on gas when this happens. Any thoughts please let me know. He said there is no such thing as hill-hold

You had a trade and you are sure that "helped?" What was the price of the car, minus dealer prep, taxes, etc., and minus the trade. Those figures will tell you how much under invoice you paid. Gee, if I counted my trade in the deal, I could state that I got my Murano for $3,000 under invoice, but that would not be factual.

546 a month you couldve gotten a Acura MDX which is a far superior car. The lease deals on this car are horrible. Your better off just financing it.

Actually, I'm paying 525 a month for a finance on a 09 SL AWD with moonroof and leather. So I'm paying less and i'll end up owning the car. Leasing this car is a ripoff since you could get a luxury car for the same money.

I don't even know how you could be paying $525 a month for a fully loaded SL AWD, as I indicated in my list of options. So give us the details..... How long was your note, 6 or 7 years? How much did you put down? $3000-5000 What was your interest rate? 4-7% How about the OTD cost of the car? I could throw out I paid $525 a month for a car and criticize other deals, but unless you can back it up with some numbers, I don't buy it!! You either had a trade, put alot of money down, or took out a long term loan.... Since there are no incentives or decent interest rates out there, I am assuming you are paying anywhere between 4-7%.
 
I too would prefer purchasing vehicles but I have learned one thing about buying vehicles, they are not an investment nor an asset, they are depreciating faster than any loan can pay down unless you are taking a 48 month term. Even at 60 months, the only way to get any equity out of the vehicle is you have to wait until that last 1-2 years... I tend to turn cars over more frequently than that, so leasing is a good way to go!

Let's do the math on this one:
 
09 Murano SL FWD + Tech + Premium + Leather + Door Sills + Splash Guards + Floor Mats = $32,377 invoice, $35,500 MSRP
 
Nissan has a 2% holdback from MSRP ($35,550 x 2%) = $647.54
 
So rock bottom price could be $32,377 - $647.54 = $31,729.46
 
Then you say you paid 3% tax, which I'm assuming is sales tax, and tags which we'll round off to be $250, which works out to be $31,729.46 + 3% tax ($951.88) + $250 = $32,931.34
 
Since you said you paid $31,995, which includes tax and tags, I can only deduce that you paid about $1,000 UNDER the dealer holdback amount for the car.
 
Now my question to you and everyone is.. HOW ARE YOU ABLE TO PAY SO MUCH BELOW THE DEALERS COST OF THE CAR???
