I am with you, I always like a new vehicle, and anyway you look at I will have a car payment, now my payment is technically less, and I never have to worry about getting screwed on a trade in. I own our Murano, but I lease my Armada, and I am always right at my 15K limit, and even if you go over a little, Nissan gives good standing accounts a $500 cushion at the end of the lease.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

At the end of 39 months you'll have paid for more than half the car. Then you give it back and start all over. Heck of a deal for the dealer don't you think? If you purchased, at the end of 39 months you could certainly trade it in for more than $17,500 and still get your new car--especially at 10K miles per year. Leases only pay when they have very high residuals and low payments. For example, when the Subaru Tribeca was new to the market they had a lease deal for $299/month for the Limited with leather and the 3rd row seat etc. I went for that deal because it made financial sense. Think about it. Hey we all need to do what we need to do. You will love the car no matter what your decision is. Happy New Year

It does depend on the deal that is out there. There are a TON of lease deals that simply SUCK! I had an '05 G35x that had an MSRP of $38K on it, I got a 39month lease, 15k/year, with $499 at signing. That was AFTER I traded in a Toyota Solara that I was about $1000 upside down on. That is a good deal. I can't ever imagine shelling out $3000 at signing on some of these leases that they advertise, that is ridiculous. I believe that if you can get a good deal on a new car, financially, yes, that is the best thing to do. However, some of us want a new car all the time, and then the lease can become the better deal. Personally I love leases, but it has to be the right deal, but I purchased my '09 Murano, so it all depends on what you want, and the deal you can get.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I got mine (same options) for $35,400 back in July. Now I believe there is a $1000 rebate, so you should be able to get $34,400, but there was an increase in MSRP of about $200.......so $34,600 should be a great deal, please let us know what ends up happening! Good luck to you and Happy Holidays!

What is this $1,000 rebate you spoke of? I have not seen anything in print or online from Nissan about it. Can you share your source? Thanks.

We didn;t make the deal since they offered very little on trade in.

thought it might help if anyone is looking to buy now.

Also the 1k rebate is for people coming off the murano lease and buying a new one. At least that's what the dealer said and i didn;t see any other adds for that.

Is that price for an AWD model? If so, that is a great deal!

That is an excellent price!

hi! I got a Murano SL AWD with premium and leather package and splash guards for $31,383 sale price was 33,645. got 4500 on my 01 pathfinder with 121000 miles. I guess I could have done better than 31,383. what do you think!!

Welcome to the Murano Forum! Happy Holidays from NICOclub!

You might have been able to do just a little better, but probably not a lot. Any way you look at it you will love your new ride!

Happy New Year, welcome to NICOclub! Welcome aboard! Glad to have you here in the Murano Forum! Sounds like you got a sweet lease deal on the new Murano, nice work!

We are picking up our first Murano in a few days for $31,419 and I had a question about MSRP. We are getting an SL-AWD, Prem, Tech, Leather, Moonroof, Spalsh Guard, Floor mats with an Edmunds MSRP of $37,525 (this includes the 780 destination fee). The dealer is using an MSRP of $36,595 to calculate the lease payment. The lower MSRP will actually increase my monthly lease payments and I suspect that the dealer will report the car sold using the higher MSRP to bump up their profits. Reading this thread it looks like the MSRPs did change in 2008, does anyone have any information on when they changed and what they were prior to the current MSRP?

Many thanks for your help.

First off, I would like to personally welcome the both of you to NICOclub! I am thrilled to introduce you to the Murano Forum! I hope you both enjoy the forum. maxxmd , that is a very aggressive deal! Sounds like the same model I have. I purchased back in June when the MSRP was just a little less, but there were no incentives at all. You can probably get at least another $500 off, maybe even $1000. DC44 , if you are checking out a Murano LE that is totally loaded, check out the deal maxxmd is looking at, that is what you should be able to do, and possibly just a bit more off yet. You have to remember the '09 Murano is all new, and is selling rather well for Nissan (all things considered). Good luck to both of you, and please keep everyone abreast as to what you end up doing!

Happy New Year from NICOclub! Greetings from the Murano Forum, glad to have you here. Congrats on the prospective purchase, you will love the new Murano!

The price increase took place 11/18/08. I believe it was either a $500 or $750 increase. All models that were complete on or after this date would reflect the price increase.......keep in mind though that dealer can still have models on their lots that have the previous MSRP. I hope this helps and good luck on the new purchase!

2009 Murano SL AWD
- Exterior - Merlot
- Interior - Tan Leather
- Options - Tech, Premium, and Leather Packages, Floor Mats, Splash Guards, moon roof
- MSRP - $36,715
- Purchase price paid - $30,857 (without TTL and trade)
- Walk out the door trade in and TTL - $26,524
- Financed at 0% for 36 months

This was an internet deal and as much as I tried, I could not get them to budge off this number. Trade in for my 2002 Maxima GLE was a royal pain as they tried to low ball me to make up for the low price for the new car.

I pick my new ride on Monday, 1/5 and I hope I am as happy as all other new owners!

Happy New Year from just outside St. Louis!

I have to start by saying that this is a cool forum/thread and I wish I had found it before I purchased my new Murano. Here's what I got:

2009 Murano SL AWD
- Exterior Color - Platinum Graphite
- Interior Color - Black Leather
- Packages and Options
-- Splash Guards
-- Dual Panel Moon roof
-- Premium Package
-- Technology Package
-- Nissan Hard Drive Navigation System with Music Box
-- Leather Package
-- Floor Mats

- MSRP with Dest - $39,375
- Price paid - $33,897 (ttl extra)

- Extras - First oil change free + 3 additional oil changes on the house

I got the dealer to knock off additional $$ and throw in the 3 oil changes b/c the car had 100 miles on it already (not a demo or so I'm hoping) and it had a small scratch on the rear bumper which they will fix later (have that in writing so they can't go back on their word!)

Happy New Year from NICOclub! Glad to have you here in the Murano Forum! You are right, you got an amazing deal on your Murano! I am confident that the dealer truly did not have any more room to work on the price! Nice negotiating and congrats on the new ride!

I bought the LE which comes loaded with features, including the 20-inch wheels, heated seats, memory seat/mirror/steering wheel, auto liftgate, reverse camera, Bose super sound system, iPod link, Bluetooth for phone, and auto-return for the rear seats. I did NOT get the navigation or DVD player. The MSRP of my car, with the sunroof, is about $38,700. The dealer also gave me free carwashes for life, free inspections for life, and $1.95 oil changes once every few months. I hope this is helpful.

15,000 mile lease 39 months no money down...
SL AWD with leather package and premium package
$439 per month ( tax included in payment)
It is Black on Black.
He also included free car washes for the full time I have the car.

Does this sound good?

Welcome to NICOclub! Glad to have you here in the Murano Forum!

That is an awesome lease deal! I really don't think you can beat that price at all, that is a very aggressive dealer! Good for you, nice work, and go sign on that deal before it passes! LOL I am guessing the dealer has the actual vehicle on hand???

LE Model
35023 Sale Price
555 Payment

49% Residual

Happy New Year from NICOclub! Welcome to the Murano Forum!

I will be completely honest with you, if that is a lease, it really doesn't sound like all that great of a deal. I just want to make sure you get the very best deal possible. I am assuming that that is a 39 month lease, with 15k miles/year? Am I correct on that? Is tax included in the $555? Here is the thing, scroll up and you will see that hollisterohio will be getting a Murano that has a sticker price about $2000 - $3000 less than the LE you are looking at, however his payment is only $439 (including taxes) with NO MONEY DOWN. I am not saying you can get it for the same price, but I would be willing to bet you could get into the $460-$480 range with very little money down for 39 months and 15k/year. Here is another example, the other vehicle I drive is an '08 Armada. Sticker price was $53,000, I leased for 39 months, 15k/year, $380 down, and my payment is $620 (with taxes). Now, in my case the down payment was supposed to be $880, but they waived $500 because I was coming out of an Infiniti (Nissan product). E-mail me if you have any more questions, I would be glad to personally help you out, or post any questions here and I will reply within a day. Good luck dealing!

Here is our deal in all its detail…

SL AWD:
Tinted Bronze/Beige Leather
Premium
Technology
Leather
Moon roof
Splash Guards
Floor Mats.

MSRP: $37,525 (includes $780 destination charge)
Sell Price : $31,419 (includes $780 destination charge)
mf: 0.00208 ( APR of 4.99%)
Miles/yr: 12k
Term: 39 months
Residual: 56% ($21,014)
Down Payment/trade in: $0
Out the door fees (ttl, etc): $1331.50
Monthly payment: $406.21: $378.13 (depreciation & interest) + $28.08 (NJ Sales tax @ 7%)

The manager was not happy about this deal and my wife overheard him saying that they made no money on this car and that he was going to talk to the internet sales guy asap.

We look forward to enjoying this car as much as our last ride.

Thank you and every one else on the board for great info - I am looking to get a Murano in next 30 days and this info is awesome!

Your deal looks fantastic - I've been trying to recreate the numbers using the info you provided and am coming up with a lease of just under $450 per month (not including tax) - how did you get so much lower - has anyone else checked the math, hopefully its my spreadsheet that is off.

Also, general question, when in a lease is the tax piece only applied to the amount you will use ie: price paid - residual * tax rate / 39 months?

Thanks again

I am buying a new Murano SL AWD and here are the details:

'09 Murano SL AWD
Premium Package
Leather Package
Splash Guards
Mats

for 29999 + tax and registrations. << this is in the MA area.

Do you guys think it's a good price? should I go for it? Thank you very much!

Welcome to NICOclub! Glad to have you here in the Murano Forum. Sounds like a sweet deal to me, jump on that one, that is an excellent price!

(1) NEW 2009 Murano S - FWD
MSRP: $27680. Invoice: $25,540
They are offering these for $22,999.

Is anyone seeing better prices? What room do I have to negotiate the Murano price? Can I negotiate with the destination fee ($780) or any of the basic features? (Splash guards, floor mats, cargo protector, etc.)

(2) Used 2009 Murano S - AWD
MSRP: $29,280. Invoice: $26,975
These were program cars (Enterprise Rental) and have 20K - 25K miles on them.
Dealer is advertising for $19,990 and up.
They also say they could add heated, leather seats. (I'm sure for a pretty penny.) They also say it can/will go through their Nissan used car certification.

I can't find pricing for used 2009 models. Is this a good price? Do I have negotiation room? What should I be concerned about (watch out for) regarding program cars?

We do plan to trade in a car. Thanks for your help.
