I like my 2006 SL AWD Merlot Murano w/leather, sunroof, XM radio, heated seats etc. I lease it for $399 for 39 months and it's ending in October. I have 22,000 miles. It has no damage other than a few tiny stone chips in hood edge. I worked the lease based on a price of about $200 over invoice. I think the sticker was around 35,000 and my price was around 32,500 (not sure at the moment). The residual was around 50%, the residual I remember is 16,900, so that is my buyout correct? (plus NJ tax). It seems like a good deal to me to buy it since I am still happy with it and am not wanting to lock into another lease because in 3 years I may not be ready to keep paying... Looked up values on Edmunds and they show a trade in of 20,600, private of 22,800 and retail of 24,777. I don't think I can buy a good used car for less than 16,900. It would seem I could buy it out, then trade it in, and I'd do better than if I just turned it in. Is that possible? Realized I threw a lot at you all, just wanted to see what everybody thinks about my situation. Still think I'll just keep it, but always thinking and wondering.......

I'm going to try to get my local dealer to price match. I don't trust that backup camera/radio/climate screen not to go out on me. I have 3 weeks to decide on the warranty, 3 months to decide on the car.

Replying to: whitall (Jun 23, 2009 7:05 pm) Lease payments totalled 16349 including 1100 cap cost reduction. The buyout is 20222 including sales tax, for total payment of 36569 if I buy it out. If I put 10k down to buy it out and finance the rest I'd pay another 1k in interest for total of 37569. If I had bought it up front for 34597 (including sales tax) and put 10k down, I'd have paid an extra 2,000 in interest, or a total of 36597. So, it seems to me I paid 1,000 more to lease it. I had thought it was 500 when I did the deal, but probably forgot tax. OR I was figuring that my 10k down payment was in the bank, hoping to earn interest--which it did for a while locked in a CD of at least 4%., and my payments were lower. I just wanted to know if I figured that right. I was hoping I did well on my lease. I know it was a low money factor and a good sales price, so I hope I"m right. I was willing to spend that 500-1000 for the security of being able to walk away if i wanted to. In essence, I took a 3 year test drive, and I liked the car! PS. Real interest amounts may be different, but I used the same rate for both scenarios. |

Can anyone confirm if the 2009 Muranos come with power adjustable pedals just like in the MY 06-07?

I've been through an education on the Murano the last couple of days as my wife wants one. It's the worst time to buy one because prices are high and dealers aren't budging that much because Nissan literally shut down production since last year (not totally, but more than 60% offline). The even bought out employees at their plant in Georgia that worked on the truck & suv lines, as demand for larger vehicles had sunk dramatically, and they wanted to focus on smaller cars. So, dealers wanted more Muranos not because demand was so strong, but because they shut production down so dramatically (there was still some Murano demand, obviously). I was specifically told some dealers had not received any Muranos in the last two months - not one. They are now ramping production of the Murano way up again. I was also specifically told there will be a large allotment of Muranos shipped at the end of July. I can see paying way more now than in a few months, further exacerbating the depreciation. Ughhh. My wife wants a Murano at the worst possible time. I'm trying to steer her to well-stocked competing vehicles. Wish me luck. |
