From my experience, Nissan had a 3% holdback
2009 Murano LE AWD
Navigation System
Dual Panel Moonroof
Splash Guards
Floor Mats
Total MSRP - $39,920
Invoice - $36,628
PRICE PAID - $34,911 ***This is cheaper than our lowest quote for a leftover 2007 SL AWD.
Also we did take our trade to Carmax at Dulles and they gave us $3000 more than what the dealer offered us so we made out just fine. As I previously posted, I highly recommend doing your homework (this forum totally helped me – thanks all), research prices in your area on this forum and look at local dealers internet prices, know exactly what you want/options, target the end of the month/last weekend as dealers have sales goals to meet (number of cars sold – sometimes they have to let a car go at no profit to meet a goal number), and use the internet and fax to your advantage – it will save you time and money. Goodluck to everyone!
poohsavybear: You have provided information and seem to be credible, but I'll explain why others might have a hard time believing:
I just bought the EXACT same vehicle. 2009 Murano LE with Nav., Dual Moonroof, Splash Guards, and Floormats. I have spent the last 2 months researching prices, dealers, and this website and others as to what people are ACTUALLY paying.
I contacted THIRTEEN different dealerships in 3 different states. All via Internet Sales Managers. I got lots of low quotes...then took those low quotes and took them back and forth between dealers to get the best price. I pushed several past the point where they could go no lower and basically had to tell me no and watch me walk.
After a couple weeks, I worked with a dealerships that had the most passion to getting my business with the lowest price and I got the vehicle as stated for $35,900...which is $728 under invoice. I don't think anybody else could have gotten lower with the same situation as me. Of course I could've contacted more dealerships and my area of the country could make a difference, but looking at your price, which is almost a full $1000 LESS than what I paid...I can see why people question a dealer selling a new Murano for that much under invoice.
Competition drives people to do crazy things, so I believe you paid that...but I would also say it was probably a large exception rather than the rule in pricing these new Muranos.
My dealer, after talking with Nissan, has indicated that Nissan has yet to release a bumper protector for the 09 and the older models won't fit due to the redesign. It shows one is available on Nissanusa.com and they do intend to release it in the future but no information on a date was released. The bumper protector that is being installed by the factory actually requires some slits in the bumper and some clips. When they release the bumper protector, it is suppose to be tool less, so probably adhesive.

I bought on April 10, 2009. I went through the dealer's Internet department and it was fast and painless.
except no navigation or moon roof that I didn't want

So at $31,611 you paid about $1,116 above the holdback.
'09 Murano SL with Leather, Premium pkg, Tech pkg, dual moonroof, cargo protector
Working thru AAA auto source, my contact gave me an initial price of $35000 not including sales tax. I told him that invoice on this car (according to Edmund's among others) is about $33000, so what else could he do. He then spoke to his contact and came back with $33,900. My question is...is this a good deal? Is it unreasonable of me to expect to pay below invoice on this car? Or how much above invoice should I pay?
Any and all advice will be welcome!
Thanks!

2009 Murano LE
Platinum Graphite w/ Black Leather
Navigation
Dual Moonroof
Splash Guards
Floor Mats
MSRP: $39,920.00
Invoice: $36,628.00
PRICE PAID: $35,900.00
$728 UNDER Invoice
Tax (7% - Indiana) - $2,513.00
Title & Fees - $120.75
Total Out-the-Door Price: $38,533.75
I worked 100% through email contacting Internet Sales Managers. I communicated with over 10 Nissan Dealerships in a 3-state area. Most initial prices came in between Invoice and about $500 over. Found one who was willing to work with me and that I formed a good relationship with and we got the price down to what you see above. I did not buy this at the end of the month...actually was the first week of the Month.
This was in the Midwest...I know the area of the country can make a big impact on what dealerships are willing to do. My advice is to be willing to expand your geographic diameter from your home and get quotes from at least 10 dealers to get your "baseline" of what the normal price is for that area.
Dealer in NJ matched the offer, so bought it for $26,194, had to pay window etching, plus doc fee of $299.
MSRP on the car was 29,535, invoice 27,194
Overall relatively painless experience, most likely due to the end of the month
Vehicle Price: $38,070.00
Internet Customer Discount: $3,297.00
Selling Price: $34,773.00
Sales Tax (estimate): + $2,147.77
Tag/Registration Fees (estimate):+$150.00
Tire/Battery/MVWEA: + $8.50
Documentation Fee: + $599.95
Balance Due (estimate): $37,679.22
Just go to Edmunds.com and plug in the numbers for your model Murano:
http://www.edmunds.com/nissan/murano/2009/index.html
For your LE with Moonroof, Splash Guards, and Floor Mats, I came up with:
$38,070 MSRP
$35,023 Invoice
Then, you take 2% off the MSRP to give you the holdback amount you deduct FROM the Invoice price to find out their bottom line price.
For you that is: 2% of $38,070 = $761.40 - $35,023 = $34,261.60
So at their selling price of $34,774, that's $512.40 profit for the dealer or room you could negotiate DOWN further.
Sounds like you're able to get another good deal on an 09 Murano. Having one myself, I say "GO FOR IT!" :-)
I would say that Documentation fee of nearly $600 is WAY too much if they're breaking out Registration fees from that. What are they "documenting"?
I am in the same boat as you are. Looking for a 09 SL AWD around Seattle area. Did you purchase yours already? How did it go and whats the price you got or getting? Please let me know. Thanks!

the vehicle is a Demo vehicle driven by the manager with less than 1000 miles
MSRP is $34,700
Edmunds Invoice is $31,600
The dealer's "best" offer to me so far is $31,300
According to this forum, the base price for the dealer should be about $30,900. How much of a discount should I expect for a demo vehicle?
I bought a SL AWD (Deep Sapphire, Beige interior) with following packages:
leather, technology, premium, navigation, dual moonroof, floor mats, door sills, splash guards
MSRP = $38,270
Invoice $34,863
Price Paid = $33,617 + Tax + Tags (includes freight, processing fees)
Also got 2 year free oil change + life time safety inspection
I will do 8 oil changes in 2 years..cost per oil change = $25...so technically, I got approx $1450 below invoice.
Dealership - Tysons, VA Nissan (Rosenthal Nisaan Mazda)
