Nitely- $800 under invoice is what I bought my new 2004 AWD Polished Pewter SE, but I drove it home 2 hours after finalizing the price via email. What area of the country do you live in? Did you use Nissan's online inventory search to see if the vehicle you want is anywhere in the area? I found my vehicle (actually my wife's vehicle) online, wrote down the VIN number, and negotiated the price with the dealer that had the vehicle. A 12 week wait seems like an awfully long time to wait for a vehicle that, at least in the San Francisco Bay Area, seems relatively plentiful in all flavors. I hope you were just having some fun with us. Nobody should have to patiently wait 12 weeks for their new baby to arrive. |

| A local dealer has two 03 models (with navigation which I really want). What is a good price for these? I could not get prices for 03 models on Edmunds or Carsdirect (or I may not know how to obtain them). Although the vehicle has one year's worth of depreciation, would it really matter in the long run. Any help would be appreciated. | |

I found this forum very helpful and felt I should post my experience so here it is. I purchased an 03' today with 100 miles on it. The 03' was a no brainer for me as I was financing for 3 years and Nissan is offering 0.9% until 2/2/04. Best rate I could find for 04' was 3.8%. I have been looking at this car since Sept. so I knew exactly what I wanted: SL w/ AWD Leather Premium Package Moonroof Cold Weather Package Mud Guards Floor Mats Crossbars Bike Rack Ski & Snowboard Rack MSRP $35,221 Invoice $32,126 Paid $31,461 + tax $665.00 under Invoice I could not get a dealer in the Cleveland area to move under invoice for 04' or 03'. Even demo 03's that had between 4900 and 7900 miles. Most dealers around here had 2 or 3 AWD 03' on their lots, maybe 5-8 04's. I found a large dealer in Michigan (90 miles) with 8 new 03's with no mileage and their first offer was $500 under invoice. I did a little better in the end, and much better than any dealership locally. I did all my research on the Nissan website as suggested here. I did all my negotiating with the dealerships Internet Sales Manager. The Internet salespeople are now the top sellers at most dealerships I have found out. I love this car - today, I'll keep you all posted as the months and years go by. I guess my final thought are: research on the internet then deal with the internet sales manager at the largest dealership that has the car you're looking for. This will get you your best price. Of course, if buying locally has a value to you, you must determine how much value that is. This method saved me $2600 considering the price and financing and I couldn't be happier. Thanks for all the postings. |

Hi goldenklanes I believe that is high price for a 03 Murano. You have to remember that many 04 Muranos are selling for invoice price. The value of 03 Muranos is at least 1000 less than invoice price as they have already lost their value by staying on the dealership lot. At least that was the price quoted to me by a dealer in Greensboro, NC. I did not buy it as I did not like the color. His final offer was $26000 for a sL 2wd with premium package and mud flaps,roof rack and cargo protector and he asked me to put a $500 deposit to finalise the deal. He even asked me to take it home overnight as test drive. I hated the black interior so I declined. I think a good price would be anything under $28000.I hope this helps. BTW the invoice price for 03 Murano you mentioned is $29430 according to Kelly blue book.So try to shoot for a price of 28000 or less. 0.9% Financing would be sweet. |

| Thanks MarvinD!!!!! Could someone tell me if you are taxed differently for buying a car out of state. I live in PA and just today found a deal on another 03 in WV. Any help would be appreciated!!! | |
| There was one in shasta county very close to the one I wanted but they will have to drive it here and so it will have about 150 miles or so on it and I do not like that. I'm kinda anal about this. So I picked the ordering route. Like I said, am not in a big hurry. Just maximizing my old car...70 miles a day for a commute is about 17000/year and I dont want the new murano pile that much miles in its first year anyways. So I'll be babying it for sure. Its all good. Just happy that many new murano owners are enjoying their vehicle and problems on the new ones seems to be less than last years which is good for all. I'll give an update soon as I get one. | |

Dealer claims the car is a late model 2003 (I will verify the invoice before purchasing. 2003 SL FWD Black They are offering invoice + $100. The model they have (the only 03 left) already has leather (beige) package (also moonroof, cargo cover, bose 6 cd in dash 7 speaker, etc.). They said they will simply throw it in. The car has 513 miles on it. So, all this for $26000 + dest and taxes. I have not yet driven the car. But I would certainly take it on an extensive drive before even thinking of pulling the trigger. Seemes very good to me, but wanted some feedback. Thanks! Mike |

Hi I Just took home a brand new White Murano SL 2wd with premium package, mud guards, cargo protector and floor mats. I also purchased a extended warranty for 6 years. Out of the door price including tax, registration, title, extended warranty and the rest of the crap was $29900.00. Just wanted to share the experience of buying a Murano at High Point Nissan, NC compared to my recent experience at Vann York Toyota just down the road. The difference was unbelievable! The Nissan guys were so much better in all areas. Got the vehicle I wanted at the price I was willing to pay and the salesman went to extraordinary length to make sure I got what I wanted. Special thanks to salesman and manager at High Point Nissan who worked very hard to find the vehicle I wanted. They had to ship one from Columbus,OH and trade in one of theirs in exchange! I would highly recommend anyone to buy their vehicle at this dealership. Just very friendly and honest which is a rare commodity with car salesmen these days. I was so impressed I am considering selling my brand new Highlander(Good vehicle but very uncomfortable seats) and buy a black Murano with similar package. The one that I bought today was seized by my wife who drove it and said she found the vehicle she was looking for and I was left with the Highlander! Anyway it has been a fun day so far but Murano beats the highlander hands down in all areas except maybe in reliability where it does not yet have the same track record of the Highlander. Only time will tell whether the Murano will be as reliable as the Highlander or Honda Pilot. |
