Replying to: greggblue (Mar 31, 2008 8:00 am) I just started leasing a LOADED 2009 Murano LE AWD with EVERY option - moonroof, navigation, mats, cross rails, cargo protector, tire flaps, etc. We were really upset that you could not get a DVD player and the navigation system or moonroof. Tried to config online - but selecting overhead DVD greys out BOTH moon (makes sense) and navigation (does not make sense!). The dealer said it had something to do with the wiring. So we added the OEM DVD Players (INVISION) to the back of each headrest. Looks even BETTER to be honest than the factory option. So we literally have EVERYTHING in this car. (DVD NOTE: The DVD players were installed by the dealer and look amazing. Nissan considers INVISION DVD to be a NISSAN "dealer port" option. Only the dealer offers this option and they match the factory specs. INVISION items can ONLY be ordered and installed through the dealership. 3rd party companies and consumers CANNOT buy them and do it yourself. For this reason they are not considered aftermarket and convered under the NISSAN manufacturer warranty as well.) We got the LE with the Super Black Exterior with Beige Leather Interior. Looks great in this combination. Dark interior looked good in old model - but we thought beige interior looks better in 09s. Original Sticker was $40,511.00 and DVD Player was $1500.00. Cap Cost Came to $38,200.00. All this in a 42 Month Lease with 12K miles annually - $5,529 down - out of pocket (first payment - the 529-, taxes, titles, tags, etc.) and a Monthly payment of $529.00 I believe the buyout at the end of the lease is $19K and change. For a car with this many options - I believe we got a great deal. I know the DVD Players in the Headrest option was like $1500. I live in Virginia and shopped around at 6 dealers - the best we were offered in VA was $6200 down and $570 a month for the same lease - I took this deal back to the dealer where we originally leased our 04 Murano - Herb Gordon Nissan in MD and they beat it - no games and no hassle - did everything over the phone. I just showed up to pick up my car!! They gave me the model customer experience - twice! They have amazing customer service. I would obivously deal with them again in a hearbeat. By the way - I have also test driven the Acura, Lexus and Infiniti this year. Thought maybe it was time to leave Nissan. My parents have the lexus and i drove it in Florida for two solid weeks prior to test driving the 09 Murano. I can honestly say - money aside - I felt the 09 Murano drove and felt better than ALL OF THEM. Maybe a personal preference. But even if cost was not a factor - I felt the 09 Murano was the best one. It is a truly amazing car. Just did a road trip up to NYC recently and this car was perfect. The bluetooth was awesome for answering calls with no effort, ipod connecter was very cool for listening to our library of tunes and controlling it through the vehicle, the traffic navigation helped us avoid some major tie ups on the beltway, the dvd players were great for keeping the little happy with dora the explorer, the duel moonroofs were great for taking in the views in NYC and overall the roomy seats and great handling made for a wonderful trip!! I HIGHLY recommend this car.

It seems as though you've posted this same message multiple times in this thread as well as other ones, is there some particular reason for that? As already explained you did not get a "good deal" considering the amount of money you had to put down on this lease in addition to the numerous extra expenses incurred to put zero residual options in the car at great out of pocket expense.

Replying to: eyepod (Apr 01, 2008 5:37 pm) Here's an example of the actual residuals on the Acura MDX for March, as you can see, residual on the "tech package" which consists primarily of the navi system is lower than the base model. So from what you can see here the vehicle equipped with the tech package (navigation) is worth 2% less of its original price than the base model car after any period of time. 2008 Acura MDX – 3/5/08 24 Month – Residual 66% of MSRP – .00197 Base Rate 36 Month – Residual 56% of MSRP – .00197 Base Rate 48 Month – Residual 46% of MSRP – .00220 Base Rate 60 Month – Residual 36% of MSRP – .00230 Base Rate 2008 Acura MDX Technology – 3/5/08 24 Month – Residual 64% of MSRP – .00197 Base Rate 36 Month – Residual 54% of MSRP – .00197 Base Rate 48 Month – Residual 44% of MSRP – .00220 Base Rate 60 Month – Residual 35% of MSRP – .00230 Base Rate |

There's a good reason for this too. Technology items and NAV in particular don't tend to age as well as the car itself does. Look at a five year old built in car navigation system that cost $3000 and compare it to what you can get in a new $400 pocket GPS and you can see why these types of "tech toys" don't do much for resale value of a vehicle... the technology just ages too quickly compared to how quickly the vehicle itself ages. |

Hi everyone, I got the quote on a 2009 Murano LE with double panel moon roof, navigation, splash guard, floor mats and cross bars (MSRP $40,110). Could anyone please confirm whether this is a good deal or I should keep looking for better deals? I did not even negotiate with this dealer but other dealers I talked to said it's hard to beat these numbers. I am located in New York City. - 39 months, 10,000 miles/year - $1,999 down payment - $459/month - $298 documentation - $750 destination (I don't understand why I have to pay destination again even though it's already included in the $40110 MSRP) - Sales tax - Registration fee TBD - $45 Dealer optional fee for processing application My favorite color is glacier pearl but this dealer only has silver with black leather. Other dealers who have glacier pearl cannot offer better pricing. Any feedback is much appreciated. I am ready to sign the lease this weekend!

Came across this... Don't know if April's Rates are out... 2009 Nissan Murano S AWD – 3/5/08 24 Month – Residual 69% of MSRP – .00270 Base Rate 36 Month – Residual 57% of MSRP – .00270 Base Rate 48 Month – Residual 48% of MSRP – .00270 Base Rate 60 Month – Residual 42% of MSRP – .00270 Base Rate 2009 Nissan Murano SL AWD – 3/5/08 24 Month – Residual 64% of MSRP – .00270 Base Rate 36 Month – Residual 53% of MSRP – .00270 Base Rate 48 Month – Residual 45% of MSRP – .00270 Base Rate 60 Month – Residual 38% of MSRP – .00270 Base Rate 2009 Nissan Murano LE AWD – 3/5/08 24 Month – Residual 60% of MSRP – .00270 Base Rate 36 Month – Residual 50% of MSRP – .00270 Base Rate 48 Month – Residual 42% of MSRP – .00270 Base Rate 60 Month – Residual 37% of MSRP – .00270 Base Rate Residuals posted are for 15K miles/year. Add 2% to Residual for 12k mi/yr and 3% for 10k mi/yr on all terms Compare Lease Payments for Used Nissan Models HERE Use the following formula to calculate a lease payment: (Cap Cost – Residual Value) / Term = Depreciation (Cap Cost + Residual Value) X Money Factor = Interest Depreciation + Interest = Base Monthly Payment |
