I'm wondering how much bargain we have considering the limited supply. Also, are you guys aware of any coming promotions on the 09's? cheers, Lucy |

Replying to: mikemartin (Jun 29, 2009 5:13 pm) I bought one 3 weeks ago after researching for about a month and inquiring more than 10 dealers around Chicagoland. I've heard the bits you are talking about, no or limited production run, from the dealers I've been to. Some dealers tried to take advantage of this by not budging on the price, some dealers were more flexible, some promised really good prices except they couldn't deliver. One of the dealers obviously delivered for me. And about this being the "worst time to buy," I got mine for $1200 below invoice ($5000 below MSRP) so if you can do better, more power to you. Sure, some have gotten $2000 below invoice but from what I read in this forum there's only so much you go down. By the way, I bought my car based on how much I liked the car, not how well a car is stocked. I am sure you can get a pretty good deal on a car that there are plenty to have.

Replying to: chrissbu (Jun 27, 2009 1:58 pm) Personally, i will sit on the sidelines to just watch and see what happens. If they start flooding the dealers, then youll obviously get the best prices compared to today and maybe less of a circus with these dealers. Since i am really in no rush, just really want the car, i may wait until the 10's come out. Anyone know when these may arrive?

Replying to: gresch (Jun 30, 2009 11:09 am) Also, there are two MY for Muranos, 2009 and 2009.5 models. 2009 models came with tech packages but it's no longer available on 2009.5 models. Instead they added 360 value package and 2009.5 cars are $1000 more expensive (so I was told). Some says 2010 models will be out in August/September at the earliest but no one seems to know for sure. If you wait long enough you may even be able to get a convertible Murano which is supposedly coming in MY10 or MY11.

Hello, some people here mentioned it's possible to get the Murano $1000-$2000 below invoice. I'm wondering if the incentives are factored in... I'm looking to buy one soon so any info is appreciated!

I am not trying to insult anyone, and respect those who disagree, but we gave up on the idea of a Murano because compared to the competition, it's not a stand out vehicle given the price premium Nissan dealers are charging because of the low supply (not high demand, mind you - the high demand illusion stems from the low supply. In fact, if there were the normal 90 day supply of Muranos (or more), there's no way dealers would be getting the prices they are in this terrible economy. I think people who have bought in to the myth that the Murano is a 'huge, in demand crossover' may come to regret their purchase if they paid anywhere near the prices I'm now seeing. I fully expect prices on the Murano to decline with some time, whether production is ramped up or not. To those who have gotten one, and enjoy it, more power to you - I'm not dissecting your choice or trashing it. For us, walking away from a prospective Murano deal was liberating, and just allowed us to start negotiations on a competing vehicle, and it looks like we'll save at least $120/month on a true $0 down sign and drive lease and $110/month on a purchase, for a vehicle that has a higher MSRP than the Murano, and does everything as well or better, based on our perceptions and needs. On a 36 month lease, that's a savings of $7,020, because Nissan wants $2,700 at lease signing. No way. Not ever going to happen from us. We still haven't decided to go with a new vehicle, though, as higher end and newer cars are really available for massive discounts (above and beyond historical norms) if one is willing to drive a three year old (or even two year old), well kept vehicle. I know some disagree with me about Murano production being low, and I think I am right, not because I'm so intelligent, but because the person who told me that works at Nissan (I probably shouldn't even be saying that). I also suspect that Nissan probably went beyond production cuts, and held back already built vehicles, as many other manufacturers have, which only would have exacerbated the crazy Murano pricing. We also had the luxury of having a third car, which allows us to pick our spots. We don't need to buy, and can choose when to. This is an invaluable asset for us, as it only cost us $5,800, we've had it for 4 years now, it's been used a winter car with no reliability problems, and we can probably sell it for what we paid for it after 4 years. Cheers. |
