Just got back with the new 2009 Murano I bought for my wife. We looked at the Ford Edge and the Acura MDX before deciding on the Murano. It feels much more luxurious than the Edge (and the ride is much better) and conveys similar luxury as the MDX at a lot less $$$$, while being more agile.
I think we got a rather good deal from a dealer in Queens, NY:
- Silver/Black SL AWD with 0% financing for 36mos
- Premium Package, Splash Guards and Custom Mats
- $27,650 including destination (no other dealer fees, tax/title/reg. extra). MSRP on the sticker was $32,045.
Dealers must be hurting in the NYC area, the Acura dealership offered us $7,000 off the sticker price for a new 2008 MDX w/ Technology package. I would have taken it but my wife thought the car was too big and sluggish and she didn't want leather seats (came standard on the MDX). I'm glad she didn't want it; I feel much better about purchasing the Murano.
We visited the Nissan dealer in Manhattan first and they offered us an '09 SL AWD w/ just roof rails and no other option installed for $26,240 (incl. destination). We realized that the Premium Package offers a lot more for just $1K add'l (e.g. Bose, RearView Camera, Autodim mirror w/ compass, HomeLink) and includes roof rails. They didn't have it readily available so we searched dealer inventory online and found this dealer in Queens who won our business.

I really wanted to buy a Ford Edge but the test drive was just ok. Drove the murano and that was the benchmark. Drove a Saab 9-3 2.0 sedan and it was a player but I wanted a combiwagon and the dealers here are not inspiring. The deals on the Saabs are pretty good but parts/service issues down the road turned me away. The jetta wagon was nice but felt a bit too small in the seat [not that I need it]. Didn't think about the Passat wagon --- could have been a player. Got a three year lease and am hoping the domestic automakers will get my business next time.
Shopping for cars in the Big Apple --- looks like you did well. The murano is just the right size -- mileage is decent and the inerior is high end. Makes you feel you paid more for the car.

Great price, but I don't understand how a dealer can sell a car for $1845 under invoice price. The invoice price for your $32045 MSRP is $29,495 according to edmunds. I thought the holdback for Nissan cars was 2% of msrp, that would be $640? comments anyone? I too am waiting for another mfg incentive from Nissan.

I bought my murano for $2234 under invoice. That was the first and only quote I got. I watched him figure the price and he went 7% under invoice. You could probably get the same deal if you came to the midwest but who knows. says he lost $ but he wanted a sale that day. They really want to clear some of the muranos off the lot.

do not fool by dealer's invoice price! They also get many unpublished incentives from auto makers! Invoice price is just one of dealer's tools for negotiation! Of course, they might take a loss sale sometimes because of market condition or month/year end target!

In Oct. there was a $1000 bonus cash to customer for Murano.
In Nov. Nissan canceled this bonus, but today one dealer told me that it is still available for customers in Nov.. Anyone can confirm this please?

We are also shopping the Murano and the MDX. I'd be very interested in your opinion of the two. Price aside would you still have chosen the Murano? Its a very difficult decision for us and the prices I have been quoted are not that far off each other.

Never looked at the mdx since the dealers are 25 miles away but they look like great cars. Appear bigger than the murano less legroom but more shoulder and hip room. Warranty is better. I assume you are looking at an LE loaded which would approach the base mdx in msrp. Don't know about discounts or rebates. If the mdx is an 08 than that might figure into your decision down the road vs an 09 murano. You didn't say anything about test drives. I think if give the each a thorough drive you will probably come to a decision. If price isn't a factor get the one that rings your chimes and enjoy. There are some deals on infinity fx's, lexus rx's and toyota highlanders. The buick enclave is a sweet ride as well.

I just noticed that prices of Muranos on Carmax.com dropped by $1,000 overnight. Some models are being offered at up to $1,900 below invoice, and this includes the freight charge. Anyone hear about another $1,000 rebate from Nissan for the last half of the month?

It has to go down more! Otherwise, no body is buying under such a market condition.
Some dealers offer about $1000 rebate for no financing purchase.
