I'd been looking at the 2003 for a while, but I had trouble finding the Cold Package. NissanUSA.com indicated Regal Nissan in Roswell, GA received a 2004 this week, and the 2004 Touring Package includes the cold package stuff (heated seats, mirrors). I saw the 2004 Murano in Sheer Silver with Cafe Latte leather sitting in the corner of the dealer's lot; it still had plastic on everything, inside and out. When I went inside and talked with the salesmen, he didn't even know they'd received a 2004. It didn't even have a stock number yet. The MSRP/sticker price was $33,260: Base of $28,200; Touring Package $4,300 Floor Mats $80 Cargo Area Protector $70 Sunroof Wind Deflector $70 This MSRP is only $8 more than the equivalent 2003. I paid $31,276 (which included an inflated $298 doc fee) Since MSRP didn't really change between 2003 and 2004 I assumed invoice didn't change much, which the dealer confirmed when showing me the invoice at one point (though I didn't get a copy). 2003 invoice would have been $30,355, so I think I paid about $921 or so above invoice. I think I could have gotten them down a bit more (the process didn't take long enough), but not too bad for the 2nd 2004 on the lot, and likely one of the first few anywhere. They offered the 84 months/70,000 miles extended service plan (Security+Plus) for about $1300 or so. I showed them an online quote for a 3rd party service plan for $875 and they eventually came down to $930. Also got 3.1%/48-month financing, after showing them the 3.49%/36-month financing I'd gotten from an online source. Hope that wasn't too much information. Hope it helps someone. I was very happy with the service at Regal Nissan. |

| I also live in the ATL area and will be looking at the 2004 probably later this year. I haven't been to Regal yet so it is good to know the experience went well. | |

My wife and I just bought a silver murano sl awd. they sold the extended warranty for 2100 that was 7years 100000. After we bought I called nissan corp and listened to there prompts it said we had 60 days to cancel if we didnt want it. They forgot to tell me that at Auburn Nissan in Wash so i canceled it. |

| As I mentioned in my previous post, I got 7 years/70,000 miles for $930 for an SL FWD, which the dealer claimed was his cost (thought I don't believe him). I've heard the true cost is usually about 50% of the MSRP. I've also heard you're welcome to shop around and buy the service plan from any Nissan dealer. An online quote from a third-party warranty company may help you in your negotiations. Good luck! | |

I looked for a Sheer Silver/Cafe Latte color combo on 2004 models. Last night I found it searching dealer inventories on Nissanusa.com. The car is 100 miles away, but I'm paying $290 over invoice and I'm getting Exactly what I want. Touring Pkg. Mats Splash Guards Cargo Protector Sunroof deflector MSRP $34960 Paid $32195 including all the docs and temp plates. If nothing goes wrong we are picking the car up this Saturday. |

Can anyone confirm the base invoice cost on the new 2004 Murano, particularly the SE AWD version? I noticed a discrepancy in the prices quoted to me: 2003 Invoice $27,659 2003 MSRP $30,599 Difference $ 2,940 2004 Invoice $28,278 2004 MSRP $30,750 Difference $ 2,472 While the MSRP only went up $151, the base invoice went up by $619, which seems very odd. Has anyone else encountered the figures? I can't find any site on the net with 2004 invoice pricing. |

lesw......Where did you locate your SE AWD for 290 over invoice? Was there an advertising charge on the invoice? Dealer prep, doc prep, or any other junk fees? I'm in the market for the same model. For octothorpe's benefit, the invoice pricing for the 04s is as follows: SL FWD....25,932 Retail...28,200 SL AWD....27,404 29,800 SE FWD....26,807 Retail...29,150 SE AWD....28,278 30,750 Add Delivery Charge of 540.00 While I got my numbers from fighting chance a couple of days ago, the Nissan/Infiniti News Bureau just announced the Murano pricing today. Another question, has anyone seen a Murano on a dealers lot with the dynamic control package already installed? I'd like to have this option but short of a special order it may be difficult to do. Thanks for any input! |

adnips... My Murano is SL AWD not SE. After many test drives a slightly softer ride without sacrifice in handling determined my choice. The dealer is Newburgh Nissan in Newburgh New York and I dealt, all over the phone, with the GM Nelson. After we agreed on the price he faxed me his invoice : Murano SL AWD 29800 inv. 27404 Cargo protect 70 53 Floor Mats 80 61 Splash Guards 100 73 SL Touring Pkg 4300 3730 Sunroof Deflect 70 46 Dest & Handling 540 540 Total 34960 31907 Dealer holdback shown on the invoice is $901 There were no hidden costs or any other nonsense. The price of 32195 is "out the door price" including Temp Tags. The total transaction took less than 15 minutes with maybe additional 30 minutes of the follow up/working out the details. The easiest purchase transaction I have experienced. |

| I thought I read somewhere that there is a relatively "safe" build date for 2003s where the car will be as "up to date" as a 2004. Does anyone know what that date is? Any help would be appreciated. | |

lesw.....Sounds like you got a good deal, especially on the 04 model year. I've run into doc/prep fees as high as $499 here in Atlanta. Keep in mind, Nissan has already paid the dealer to prep the car in the 1st place. Go figure. No problem, I'm telling dealers to reduce the price accordingly. The 03s have backed up & montly inventories are up to 67 days which is high for the Murano. It's not doing as well YTD as everyone thought it might. Better for me to make a deal. I still think the Murano is an excellent value, though at trade in time I might get wacked. In any event, thanks for the info. I'm still looking for the 04 SE AWD in Atlanta, otherwise I'll go to Pittsburgh where the availability might be better. |
