    i read that the date the car was made can be found on a stick in the door? and does this at all correlate to how long the vehicle has been on the lot? ie it takes a month to get to the dealer so that should be taken off the date?

    also a murano i was looking at today had 100% made in japan on the front windshield, including final assembly, but the window sticker said final assembly in LA. is there somewhere on the vehicle that says where its made? (nothing against LA :-)

    I have been researching Murano's now for a few months. I have been offered a 39 month lease 15K miles for $499.00 a month with $1k down includes everything. The car has the following:

    2009 Murano SL without Nav.
    - has leather package
    - has premium package
    - has dual panel moonroof
    - has tech package.

    The MSRP is $37,525
    The selling price Is $34,291
    The residual value is $19,888.25
    The money factor is .00159

    Does this sound like a good deal or could I do better? Maybe no money down? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Maybe the market has changed but your discount off msrp should be at least $4500. Check other posts.

    Dear all.
    I need your opinion on the following deal:
    2009 SL 2WD with:
    - Premium package
    - Splash guards
    - Floor mats
    According to www.edmunds.com
    MSRP = $31,255
    Invoice = $28,769
    Sale price = $26,456 before tax, title and DMV fees. This is ~ $2,300 below invoice and ~ $4,800 below MSRP.
    Does it look like a good deal for New York City or I could do much better? :confuse:

    went to visit dealer to purchase LE and they had sold it so theyre trying to find us another one. here are the current options:

    Sapphire w/ black leather, dual moonroof, nav, splash guards, floor mats, crossbars.
    MSRP $40,110, Invoice $36,775, Offer $36,999

    Graphite w/ black leather, dual moonroof, nav, tow package, splash guards, cargo area organizer (whats this?), rear bumper step plate, floor mats
    MSRP $42,190, Invoice $38,645, Offer $37,999

    Prefer the graphite color but don't feel we need the tow package. Any opinions on the tow package or the deals on either of these? How much better can we do on them? Both also include wheel locks and lifetime warranty (non-transferrable) equal to the manufacturer's warranty. How much is that worth?
  • jayriderjayrider Member Posts: 3,602
    Since you are buying at invoice and others are buying for 2k under, you might be paying too much. See post before yours.
  • squishles10squishles10 Member Posts: 45
    I took off the $1k rebate, which I'm not sure if others are including, as we are taking the 2.9%. The actual "offer" was 1k less, but I removed that as we won't be taking that. We are in DFW and this is by far the lowest we have gotten, and other dealers won't come close to matching it, in fact asking us if we are getting quotes on a Rogue not a Murano. Suggestions?
  • jayriderjayrider Member Posts: 3,602
    If you are willing to travel you should be able to get close to 6k off list on an LE and still have the 1k rebate or financing. Where is DFW?

    Are you willing to fly- buy and drive home?
  • squishles10squishles10 Member Posts: 45
    Yes. We've already looked at dealers all over Texas and Oklahoma. Main problem is they don't have the vehicles here with the options we want. We'll go further if necessary.

    Was sold on the Acura MDX until……I test drove the Murano LE at Koeppel.
    Salesman was OK. Was personable. I informed him that people where getting the Murano for 2000 under Invoice and he tried to act surprised. Came back with offer of 1000 off MSRP instead. I refused, he then came back with 2500 off MSRP. I started the process of finance then and have 679 credit. I was told by the salesman that people with 610 credit have qualified for Nissan top tier credit. I gave a 2500 deposit based on that info. After 4 hours I finally got to sit with a finance guy. He was rude and abusive. He tried to bully us into a deal and came with excuses of credit denials and Nissan at 10.9 percent financing. I stood firm for 4.9 percent financing but every deal he came back with after that was the same. Every time I told him the deal was no good and that I wasn’t interested ( I would have taken the deal for the higher 2500 off msrp if the financing came back at 4.9 for 72 ) he came back with different deals that all equated to the same for the dealer. He started talking about giving up vehicle recovery or locater service and 2 other things I have no idea what he was talking about a and if It was even part of any package or deal I was suppose to be entitled to. After a total of 5 hours in the place I had enough. I told him to hold onto the money that I wasn’t going to continue talking finances any longer that day.
    Monday when I contacted the salesman he threw back at “ what kind of deal do you want’. I then said 2000 off msrp and 4.9, you already have my 2500. He said he would refund my money. So instead of saying they couldn’t do the deal up front as I had suggested in the beginning, they wasted my valuable Saturday time. And that after a snide remark in passing from the salesman about wasting his (and our ) time. I still wait for my money one week later to be refunded via debit card.
    I made a mistake by trying to support my local Nissan dealer. I then contacted another Nissan dealer internet manager not to far from here and he assures to be more aggressive discounted and beat the Koepell deal by a huge margin.
    We will see. I will be willing to fly and drive home to get this vehicle.
  • jayriderjayrider Member Posts: 3,602
    There are 4 LE's at the dealer where I bought -- 39-40k. 3 platinum -- 1 silver. If you those colors don't work -- you're on your own. If they do 6k off msrp is possible plus the 1k rebate or financing. You decide. St. louis area.
  • squishles10squishles10 Member Posts: 45
    either of those colors would be fine. we just want the black interior and the dual moonroof with nav. can you get me more info? im looking at dealers in the area and havent located the one youre working with.
  • jayriderjayrider Member Posts: 3,602
    Call autocenters nissan in woodriver illinois -- ask for Brent and say you got his name off the internet. Best thing beside price is the no hassle closing in the finance dept. No add on stuff. Good luck.
  • squishles10squishles10 Member Posts: 45
    thanks- i have a call in to him.

    Hi Alex777,

    I'm in the market for the exact same car. Here is the best deal I got so far:

    2009 MURANO SL 2WD SUV CVT
    MSRP BASE $28,420
    3 PIECE FLOOR MATS $120
    PREMIUM PACKAGE $1,000
    SPLASH GUARDS $125
    Freight Charge $780
    Total $30,445

    Your net price: $25,945 (before tax, title and DMV fees)
    This offer includes the $1K rebate and that's in LA county.
    Any thoughts? Good deal?

    Thanks!
  • squishles10squishles10 Member Posts: 45
    Invoice on that vehicle is $28,769 minus $1k rebate is $27,769. So you're ~$1800 below that. It's better by far than offers I'm getting. I'd be happy with it but are you?
  • rjokcrjokc Member Posts: 1
    Purchased my first Nissan on Friday. Was down to the Murano and Highlander and after the test drives it wasn't even close. I'm sure the interior quality is similar on both but the Highlander interior seemed cheap and had zero character. It had the ambiance of a minivan.

    Even though it seems to be a great time to buy a new car we found it's not exactly the case for SUV's or Crossovers. Most of the local dealerships had no more than 4 Crossovers in stock so they weren't desperate to unload them.

    List price was $35,500 and we got it for $33,000 with a decent price for our trade in. Wifey got the DVD player and bluetooth she had been looking for. We purchased it at Bob Moore Nissan in Norman OK. They had the best selection of all the metro dealers and were very friendly.
  • RobynnRobynn Member Posts: 18
    That is a very good price. Which dealer did you get that from? could you IM me? I am looking for exactly the same except with the leather package.
    Thanks,
  • RobynnRobynn Member Posts: 18
    what is the tax rate in Chicago?
    Here is Los Angeles, I am getting the offer price $29,995 for the exact same model + options. Tax rate in LA is 9.25% (just increased from 8.25% in April 1, 2009). so if I calculated it out, with $45 doc fees, 1% license and new tax rate, the OTD is ~$33,110

    I'm still negotiating. Good luck!!! :)

    Murano SL 2WD
    - tech package
    - premium package
    - leather package
    - dual panel moonroof
    - splash guards and
    - floor mats

    Hi,

    I built my Murano via edmunds and used the get dealer quotes feature. I have received several canned emails but no responses to my replies or voice mails.

    I think that I am making it obvious that I do not want to walk into the show-room until we have agreed on price and availability. Is this what could be causing the lack of response?

    If this is sales, it certainly does not give me a warm fuzzy over what service might be like.

    Any similar experiences in Northern NJ or am I just being sensitive?

    Do I need to just bite the bullet and suffer through the "let me talk to my manager" routine at each dealership?

    Thanks
  • RobynnRobynn Member Posts: 18
    i've gotten totally different experience here in california. plenty of phone calls and emails to give me price, although not as low as i expected.
    still, i didn't close a deal yesterday because the car didn't have my first choice color. they offered 6k below msrp (that is with the $1500 included).
    still taking my time to shop.
  • danno810danno810 Member Posts: 5
    I am in CA too, please let me know if you find the deal you're looking for. You mention $1500, is that a manufacturer to dealer allowance?
    thanks
  • RobynnRobynn Member Posts: 18
    I purchased mine yesterday.for the price of $30,100 - $1500 manufacture rebate = $28,600 (+taxes, licence and fee => ~32,900 OTD).
    I decided to select the 1500 rebate over the 2.9% APR for 60 months. I got the loan from another bank for 5.04% APR for 60 mo with 30% down.

    09 Murano SL 2WD
    - tech package
    - premium package
    - leather package
    - dual panel moonroof
    - splash guards and
    - 3 pc floor mats

    The only thing is the car has 78 miles already. The dealer wanted to move their stocks around so they decided to sell to me. I test drove the exact same model but had 16 miles so the whole negotiation based on that 78 mile car. I test drove that 78 mile car and drove home. :)

    Hi,

    Is this $1000 for existing Nissan owners/leasees + $500 incentive if not taking the 2.9 financing or does everyone qualify?

    Thanks.
  • teamvteamv Member Posts: 6
    Hi,

    Are there any fees associated with financing the vehicle or the title/registration is the only admin charge in the process? Probably taking the 2.9% for 60. This is in NJ.

    Thanks
  • fishwater00fishwater00 Member Posts: 5
    Just bought murano S with conv pack, splash guard, mat.

    paid $23300, and fianlly out door price is $25000 including everything. TX, %6.45 TAX.

    Is it a good deal?
  • sdrebelsdrebel Member Posts: 1
    fish,
    I think that was a very good price. I am also in Tx, could you post details on the dealership ? Thanks

    I am looking a t a Murano or a Traverse
  • jgraminskijgraminski Member Posts: 6
    You took the discount not the financing correct?
  • fishwater00fishwater00 Member Posts: 5
    Yes. I took $1500 discount. I bought from Stering Mecall Nissan in Houston. Thanks.
  • dennisgdennisg Member Posts: 12
    My wife and I just bought a spankin' new LE from Larson Nissan near Tacoma, WA. It's loaded with everything except nav, and we paid $33k for it. Near as I can tell, that's well below invoice price.
  • teamvteamv Member Posts: 6
    What is this $1500 discount that everyone keeps mentioning? I can only find a reference to $1000 Loyalty Bonus Cash available to any NMAC Pathfinder, Xterra, or Armada lessee coming off a lease during the program period who purchases or enters into a non-NMAC lease for select vehicles.

    Thanks.
  • kilrbkilrb Member Posts: 6
    I haven't been able to find anything about the $1,500 discount online, but the salesman at the local dealer I have been talking to called me yesterday and confirmed its existence, and said it's in place through the end of May. I imagine they could extend it into June, but he didn't say...
  • RobynnRobynn Member Posts: 18
    go to http://www.nissanusa.com/murano/ click on National Tent Event, enter your zipcode. I entered Los Angeles zipcode and here it is.

    Murano 2009

    Purchase Offer

    2009 Murano 0.0% APR financing for up to 36 months or 2.9% APR financing for up to 60 monthsor 4.9% APR financing for up to 72 months for well-qualified buyers* OR $1,500 cash back**

    Linky link title
  • shammoshammo Member Posts: 7
    The $1500 must be regional then because when I put in my zip code on the east coast it only says $500 cashback. I'm going with the 2.9% on 60 months and getting my SL on Saturday!
  • teamvteamv Member Posts: 6
    Yep it's regional. :-(

    I entered Houston (previous poster's deal) and it shows the $1500, on my zip it is $500.

    Thanks Robyn for posting the link.

    Back to recrunch th numbers.
  • squishles10squishles10 Member Posts: 45
    we bought our murano from fort worth nissan. they sold the one we were going to buy and went out and found us another one, without charging us anything to transport it. they have been well below anyone else in the area, and include a lifetime warranty on all their new vehicles. we liked their sales staff much better than other dealers in the area also. we were working with dealers in austin and houston (and oklahoma and missouri and illinois) but no one could be their price. if youre looking in texas, id go there, and we'll be back there for our next car if its a nissan.
  • zbaba4zbaba4 Member Posts: 2
    There is another incentive called Lease Return Customer Cash - $1500. So, if like me, you are turning in a leased Nissan, you can get up to $3000 off. I don't know if it is regional. I just bought a 2009 SL with Premium Package for $6000 under MSRP in Arizona. I could have gotten the same deal from dealers in California. Unbelievable discount for a Murano.
  • karlakarla Member Posts: 11
    Was this a demo? Did it have miles on it? It was a great deal! I want to purchase a LE too.
  • ultratechultratech Member Posts: 142
    I'm looking for the basic S model, and so far I the best price Ive got is $23,000 + tax/fees ( inc $1,500 rebate) on vehicle with MSRP of $28,500.
  • medtechmedtech Member Posts: 21
    Well after several weeks of looking, researching, emailing and frustration I finally purchased an 09 Murano LE. I'm very pleased with the deal I got. This vehicle has Nav, moonroofs, crossbars, floor mats, lighted door sills, splash guards, cargo cover, basically everything except the aero kit. My main criteria was to get a payment lower than my Acura RDX, put as little down as possible and get the best discount I could. We basically got $5900 off the entire deal. Here are the details:

    MSRP - $41,860
    Cap cost - $36,960
    39 month lease with 12k miles
    MF - 0.00164
    Residual - 48%
    Total cash out of pocket - $565.00 (for all startup lease costs as we got a lease cash back rebate of $1000)
    Monthly payment - $547.35 (was paying $555/mo for 2007 Acura RDX w/tech pkg.)

    I've driven this car for only 2 days and it drives, rides and is so much more confortable than my Acura was. Its quiet and the interior fit and finish is outstanding. I got Brillant Silver w/tan interior.

    One of the best dealerships I've ever dealt with JENKINS NISSAN in LAKELAND FLORIDA. Believe me when I say this as I change vehicles every 3 years. We left 2 other dealerships after the ridiculous back and forth and payments that were $100 more a month with putting down 2-3K. Called them as we left the other dealers asked what they had in inventory and basically negotiated the price over the phone. Finalized the deal within 10 minutes and left the delaership 2.5 hours later with the vehicle. They had just got this one in so it had not even been cleaned and had all the port "packaging" still on it.

    If you live in the Tampa Bay area and are looking for any Nissan I highly recommend this dealer. They are professional, courteous, friendly and they treated us like intelligent professionals.....imagine that!

    MSRP - $34,755
    Invoice - $31,805
    Sale Price - $29,000
  • greschgresch Member Posts: 11
    great site for info ...

    i havent seen any recent pricing info on the SL AWD. I looked at edmonds with the leather/premium/360 package and their TMV is about $1500 higher than most offers i am already receiving. My quotes, without any negotiating so far, puts me at about 31,866. Every dealer is within a few dollars. Anybody have similar prices?

    I also saw the regional incentive just got bumped down to $500 in my region.

    Of note, my parents are also buying a nissan, and we thought we might have some buying power going together and get some better offers. no such luck. Am i already at the bottom with little negotiating left?
  • kilrbkilrb Member Posts: 6
    gresch, I haven't seen much new info over the last couple of weeks, either. From what I hear, the 360 option package is a mid-year addition to the options list. The dealers in my area don't have any yet with that option. Is the dealer giving you this price based on them ordering one for you, or do they actually have the vehicle on their lot? I would suspect that you'll get the best deal where they have several vehicles that have been sitting. Since the 360 option adds the i-pod interface, I would suspect that it will be more in demand than the leather/tech/premium models, and therefore, they might not be as willing to negotiate a good price.
  • greschgresch Member Posts: 11
    so i am in milwaukee, and from what i have seen, dealers have plenty with this option. I assumed that when you get the SL, the 360, leather, premium is included in that trim line Am i wrong?

    Just wondering what others people are paying for a similar car. I am not really believing all this hype that car buyers have all the advantage, unless you are maybe buying a GM car. They arent going to sell a car for a loss. I am still hung up on how low i can go. It would be great to know what kind of deals people are actually getting for that trim line.
  • kilrbkilrb Member Posts: 6
    I'm not sure how premium comes into play with the 360 package, since some of the options from both the premium package and tech package are included in the 360 package. For instance, bluetooth hands-free and intelligent key are listed in 360 and tech, and the roof rails are listed in 360 and premium.

    As far as this being a buyers market, I can offer one experience I had with a local dealer. I'm not quite ready to buy, but I did stop in to check out and drive the Murano at two dealers. One had lots of stock, and the other had only four left. After I told him I was educated in the market, and knew they were going well below invoice, the dealer with only four told me up front that they are dealing, and are not trying to make a killing, which is probably why they only have four remaining (2 LE's and two S's). He threw out an example, telling me they just sold an LE at $6k under sticker, which depending on the options, is somewhere in the upper $2k range below invoice. This admission came up even after I had told him I'm not quite ready to buy, and wasn't there to negotiate. I know this isn't totally comparable to the SL AWD (which is what I'm going to be looking for), but I think it's evidence that there are dealers willing to deal.
  • greschgresch Member Posts: 11
    wow. the price i am getting everywhere for the SL AWD is around 31,600 (again without negotiating yet). thats pretty much exactly what their invoice is according to consumer reports with the options priced. this is also without any of the dealer or regional incentives. So with about a $500 dealer holdback and anywhere between $500-1500 regional incentive that lands me at about 30 even. If they are selling below invoice i should be able to get lower.

    As for the options, the SL AWD and 360 value package (dual panel sunroof, alloy wheels, roof rack) requires X01 (leather package) and K01 (premium package: bose 11 speakers, satelite radio, and some others)
  • jr343jr343 Member Posts: 8
    When I finally get my Murano there is a great chance it will be an LE and I do not like the rims enough to keep them for city use.

    If any are interested in buying or swapping + plus some cash my email is realme31@aol.com. Im hoping to be able to take one next month depending on the deal.
