It's impossible to know for sure if someone is telling the truth on a forum/message board...that being said, you have to question when something seems out of line or "too good to be true".
 
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.

Wow, congrats PoohSavyBear! I ran your numbers and the 2% dealer holdback on your 09 LE came out to $798.40. So you paid just about $620 BELOW even the dealer holdback amount off the invoice price! I'll definitely remember this next time I buy...wow! Thanks for the info!

musky300 - I totally understand about really believing what people say on these boards. I can say that what I've read up on this boards really helped me on my buying experiences - with this 09 Murano, my 07 Maxima, and my 05 Pathfinder (all purchased under invoice). I definitely agree with you that my price was the exception and certainly NOT the norm. I was able to use someone's post that Fitzmall in the area was offering online $600 under invoice that this dealer was matching for an SL AWD we came to buy. Given that it had sold, he didn't want to lose the deal and offered one we couldn't refuse/dumb to walk away with. Plus it was the end of the month so they already knew what their net was for the month - number of cars sold, etc. There are so many Nissan dealers in the DC/Baltimore/Richmond area that you can get competition going at the end of the month. Don't get me wrong there are plenty of dealers that told me they weren't selling 09 Muranos anywhere near invoice price. I know they lost money on my purchase - the manager showed me his sheet and it was negative $1000+ and he said he's seen it where it's positive $4000. Anyway just wanted to let you all now and thanks for all the info. Goodluck in buying a new Murano - they are gorgeous/luxurious!

I think many of these deals we are reading about happened at the end of last month and at the end of the Nissan Anniversary Sale which ended 3/31. The end of the month is always the best time other than Christmas. A dealer could sell their car and give everything away including the holdback knowing that you couldn't touch the incentives they were going to receive from Nissan for selling a certain number of vehicles. Many in my area, Salt Lake City, UT were offering the 09 Murano under invoice. My final OTD price calculated out to a 3% holdback, but I didn't see the actual invoice, so I am more inclined to believe the 2% holdback as a general rule from a previous post since they were able to see the paperwork. In any case, some people have gotten some great deals and I have learned alot from this forum. The deals are out there, you just have to make them happen and sometimes be a little patient!!

09 Murano Bumper Protector by belusch
Apr 15, 2008 (5:32 pm)

If you are looking for a bumber protector for your 09 Murano, make sure it is an accessory that has been installed by the factory. Some models like the LE, may come with it, it just depends how your dealer ordered the car. Currently, that is the only way you are going to get one.
 
My dealer, after talking with Nissan, has indicated that Nissan has yet to release a bumper protector for the 09 and the older models won't fit due to the redesign. It shows one is available on Nissanusa.com and they do intend to release it in the future but no information on a date was released. The bumper protector that is being installed by the factory actually requires some slits in the bumper and some clips. When they release the bumper protector, it is suppose to be tool less, so probably adhesive.
