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???
 
Here is what Southern States Nissan in Raleigh NC offered...
 2009 Murano SL FWD
 - Technology Package
  - Leather Package
  - Iluminated Door Sills
 - Premium Package
 - Splash Guards and Floormats
OTD Price - $31995 (this includes 3% tax and new tag)

I get what you are saying but the price on the murano was set before I even walked in the door. So there was no price negotating on the murano.
The trade...no I am not counting toward the mark down of the car. The paperwork lists out all the prices murano price - trade. Many posts mention the dealer hold backs, etc and others have listed their price close to mine, so it is possible. I am sorry if what I wrote does not make sense...but I did the numbers and it works out.

State Sales Tax in North Carolina is 4.25% according to what I've seen, not 3%. Something just isn't right with those numbers.
 
I've contacted two dozen dealerships in two different states over the past few weeks going back and forth. $500 under invoice is the absolute lowest I have gotten.

ncdot.org
 
Dealer Sales:
 
If the vehicle is purchased from a Dealer or a Leasing Company, the tax is 3% of the purchase price, less any trade in credit. A bill of sale must accompany each application.
  
 
Casual Sales:
 
Vehicles purchased from anyone other than a dealer must pay a 3% tax based on the vehicle's value according to a value table maintained by the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles.

Max47, looks like you purchased the LE, correct? What were your doc charges? I am still working on leasing and Nissan recently offered a slightly better money factor for current Murano owners looking to lease the 09 - new rate .00215 or 5.16%. Nissan confirms you are eligible for the lower rate when the dealer grounds your Murano to take it off lease and out of service. Residual still not great though.
 
I am also considering the new Infiniti EX35 - real sweet car and much better ride than 09 Murano LE or SL or Infiniti FX35 and more technology available which I like. It's residual is better and money factor much lower than Murano so a more costly car actually has a lower monthly lease BUT the car is definitely smaller - more like the Rogue size and that concerns me. Excise tax in Mass. is based on MSRP regardless of whether you lease or purchase so that would be higher for the EX than Murano as will insurance for some reason.
 
Any thoughts?

We are looking at the exact same dealerships. Which one did you buy from? Woodfield Nissan has received terrible reviews online and has been a bit evasive. They haven't given us a hard number like Rosen did, but told us to come in and they'll beat Rosen. We would actually like to buy from Continental who is local, but they don't seem to have as much flexibility with prices.

musky300,
 
I've bought several calls in NC & the fact is ... (taken from the NC DMV)...
 
The current “Highway Use Tax” collected on the sale of a new or used car and truck is 3% of the trade difference.
 
Yes this is the OTD price. I am a vendor to a dealership auto body shop. They are giving me their "vendor discount".

I ended buying from Woodfield Nissan. I didn't research the dealership, I just went with the price. I did speak with the internet sales rep at Rosen and I think he was willing to beat any prices as well esp with it being the end of the month.
I didn't feel that Woodfield was evasive; they honored the price they sent to me via email so I was impressed with that. They did try hard to get me to buy all the extras like undercoating, paint protection etc, but I didn't; they did work it for about 40 minutes. I think they were trying to get some money back from the deal we made. In the end I have been happy with them.
I did not like Nissan's finance rate 6.9% so I had to shop around and Bank of America and Chase have better rates; unless Nissan's rates got better..but I don't think they did with the 09 Murano being so new.
I to shopped around and tried to deal with someone closer to my house but they weren't willing to do so I figured I would drive to where I could get the better deal; if I should need service, then I could go to the dealership that is closer. I hope this helps.
