Anyone have experience negotiating with the Cash for Clunkers program? My wife is in love with the Murano and the 93 J30 she has been driving since 96 is just about spent. I went to one dealer yesterday and got a huge song and dance about how hard these cars are to get and they are flying off dealer lots. Anyway the deal I was offered is not very good and searching online there does not seem to be a shortage of vehicles in my area. My wife wants leather so we need to get the PP. The car the dealer closest to me has is optioned with leather, PP and 360 degree. I think the MSRP is 35,915 there is a 500 rebate. They are at 33,995. Is it unreasonable for me to expect to buy this car for a max of 31,000?

It seems that the dealer wants to use the Cash for Clunkers money instead of negotiating. Silly me was thinking they would do both.

Welcome to the Murano Forum! Glad to have you as a new member of NICOclub!

The key here is to find another dealer with a vehicle you are interested in purchasing that you would also be willing to purchase from. See what they can do for you. I think you could get the vehicle down to the $32,000ish range. $31K might be a bit too low. The Murano 360 pkg is pretty hot right now.

Traded in my 05 BMW Z4 for 17600. Bought Murano for 31500

Nice deal! Welcome to the Murano Forum!! Thanks for posting!

The Murano is currently the 5th most difficult vehicle to find, especially with the great deals on the 360 model. Those have been selling really well!

Tinted Bronze w/beige interior
FWD
Leather Package
Premium Package
Tech Package
Navigation Package

The MSRP was $37,795 and the invoice was $34,445. I paid $33,245 plus TTL. The dealer threw in a free oil change and 3 year ding/dent removal.

The "Customer Cash Adjusted True Market Value" for this car in my zip code is listed @ $34,170 and the TrueCar data for this configuration in my zip code claims that a "great" price is less than $34,712. I feel like it was a pretty decent deal but that's really subjective I guess.

I am new to the forums and was wondering if you guys could help me out.

Looking to buy a new 09 Murano S or SL in Canada (Calgary / Alberta) and wondering if anyone here has some information on pricing I should be expecting. Now I haven't quite decided on the S or SL or options yet, so any information on Both would be great help.

- 2009 Nissan Murano SL AWD; Tinted Bronze Ext, Black Leather Int.
- Premium Package, Leather Package, 360 Value Package, Mats & Guards
- Total MSRP $35,925; Invoice $32,906
- Purchased for $32,406
- 3.9% for 72 months

An excellent buying experience at Hudson Nissan in Jersey City, NJ. Last weekend of the month. Came in looking for an SL with just the Premium Package and mats, without the 360 and leather. They had none but this made them work harder to move their current stock. I love the value of the additional features - bluetooth, xm, ipod interface, dual roofs, leather - vs. the additional price paid.

Welcome to NICOclub! Glad to have you here! Fantastic deal on the "hard to find" 360 pkg! Enjoy your new Murano.

I'm looking at a used Murano LE with Dual panel moonroof, no Nav, floor mats, carpeted, roof rail crossbars, has almost 27000 miles on it.

The dealer is offering $29,500. Is this a good deal?

$29,500
tax : $1,874.53
dealer doc. fee $199.0
security guard $279.0
registration fee $183.0

security guard??? dealer doc??

27k miles on an 09 Murano?? That car has been driven quite darn lot already ...

Also since it doesn't have nav and all that jazz, I would expect the price to be much MUCH lower.

You can probably get a NEW Murano with the options you want for around 32-33k if you negotiate well.

I would recommend go to http://www.autobrag.com -- and search for your vehicle there. That's the site I used to get my Murano. You'll be surprised how much you can haggle

Also this is the beginning of the month -- try waiting till the end of the month and you'll save a crap load more.

I just got a "STEAL"!!

06 white murano SL. Brand new tires. No minor defects, etc. 1 owner garage kept. Only 43,300 miles. KBB was about 25,000. I paid 14,108.00!!! I'm so proud of that and absolutely love my new MO. Pics on the way.

Not to rain on your parade (so to type) but I'd be suspicious of a Mo that needed new tires at that low mileage. Unless of course, the tires were just worn enough that the seller figured he'd better his resale chances just by putting new ones on. Still, it's the same reason I'm always suspicious of cars that have been professionally detailed before they are resold.

I know that at only 43K miles, my Mo could have easily been resold with the original tires.

Anyway, good luck with the car.

I've just been quoted the following for a new Murano (I'm actually looking to buy 2 at once, both SL w/360/prem/leather, if that makes a difference). Any thoughts on this pricing?

<<The 2009 Nissan Murano SL w/360 and Premium Package has an MSRP of $34,460. Your preffered Fleet/Internet price is $30,485!
*price includes rebate. Does not include tax, title and DMV fees >> I believe the CA rebate is only $500 now but will need to get that confirmed

Thanks!

The car had 4.7 miles on it, and it drives like a dream. Great negotiating experience. It really helped to know a lot of information going in (including all of your experiences from this thread).

Welcome to the Murano Forum! Cheers to you from the staff here at NICOclub!

Glad this thread helped you with your purchase, that was exactly my goal when I started this. Fantastic deal, enjoy your new Nissan!

The car had 35 miles on it, about 31 of which my wife and I put on during an extended (read sans salesperson) test drive. My sales guy was new, this was his first week and we were his first sale, ever! Of course he had an experienced (an fairly nice) manager backing him up.

Thanks to every here for all the great info that helped make my purchase so great!
