Replying to: max47 (Apr 09, 2008 9:03 pm) 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? |

Replying to: musky300 (Apr 09, 2008 6:33 pm) 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". |

Replying to: annsaladino (Apr 12, 2008 8:19 am) 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. |

Replying to: smacdowe (Mar 23, 2008 5:10 pm) I have rust protection and swear by it. Rust starts in areas that you can not see. Manufactures have made improvements over the years but the improvements are only meant to last as long as the warranty allows. In most cases, 6 years. So you need to ask yourself how long are you keeping the vehicle and are you trading or selling privately. If it is the latter, you will want the body and underside to look as good as possible. Paint protection on the other hand is not worth it from the dealership. They claim, the "coating" will last 5-7 years with one application. Not true, nothing on the market today in the form of a resin based coating will last that long unless possibly you live in Arizona. I go to a quality detail shop at least once a year and get their best paint protection. I call it maintenance, it cost me about $200 yearly for both interior and exterior and they reapply their products, including fabric protection once a year. That seems to make more sense to me and it helps me maintain throughout the year. |

Replying to: max47 (Apr 09, 2008 9:03 pm) 2009 Murano LE AWD Navigation System Dual Panel Moonroof Splash Guards Floor Mats Total MSRP - $39,920 Invoice - $36,628 PRICE PAID - $34,911 ***This is cheaper than our lowest quote for a leftover 2007 SL AWD. Also we did take our trade to Carmax at Dulles and they gave us $3000 more than what the dealer offered us so we made out just fine. As I previously posted, I highly recommend doing your homework (this forum totally helped me – thanks all), research prices in your area on this forum and look at local dealers internet prices, know exactly what you want/options, target the end of the month/last weekend as dealers have sales goals to meet (number of cars sold – sometimes they have to let a car go at no profit to meet a goal number), and use the internet and fax to your advantage – it will save you time and money. Goodluck to everyone! |

Replying to: poohsavybear (Apr 14, 2008 7:19 pm) poohsavybear: You have provided information and seem to be credible, but I'll explain why others might have a hard time believing: I just bought the EXACT same vehicle. 2009 Murano LE with Nav., Dual Moonroof, Splash Guards, and Floormats. I have spent the last 2 months researching prices, dealers, and this website and others as to what people are ACTUALLY paying. I contacted THIRTEEN different dealerships in 3 different states. All via Internet Sales Managers. I got lots of low quotes...then took those low quotes and took them back and forth between dealers to get the best price. I pushed several past the point where they could go no lower and basically had to tell me no and watch me walk. After a couple weeks, I worked with a dealerships that had the most passion to getting my business with the lowest price and I got the vehicle as stated for $35,900...which is $728 under invoice. I don't think anybody else could have gotten lower with the same situation as me. Of course I could've contacted more dealerships and my area of the country could make a difference, but looking at your price, which is almost a full $1000 LESS than what I paid...I can see why people question a dealer selling a new Murano for that much under invoice. Competition drives people to do crazy things, so I believe you paid that...but I would also say it was probably a large exception rather than the rule in pricing these new Muranos.
