Murano SL 2wheel or AWD?

[sayin608]

Hey guys I'm thinking about getting a Murano for the wife and I saw one for sale that we like. It's a 2004 SL but it says it's 2 wheel drive. Do they come 2 wheel with an option for AWD? Also to how's the gas mileage on the Muranos. I'm selling my 02 3.5SE Altima but it seems they get about the same amount when talking about gas mileage. $15,800 with 43k, heated leater seats, Bose system, Navi, is that a fair price. Thanks for your help guys

For an ~5 yr old vehicle plus high gas prices and low SUV demand right now I think they can go a bit lower. Although, the low mileage on the odo helps their case. Do you know if it just came off a 48 month lease or not? Check carfax.com too. If you need AWD then you should keep looking. Not 100% sure but it was most likely an option on the '04s if thats what you want to look for. Mileage is similar because the engines are similar. The VQ35 is Nissan's bread and butter engine.

I will tell you this, the AWD is awesome in snow! Especially with the VDC, it handles very beautifully!

In that case I'm going to go with the AWD given it snows half the year up here. Thanks guys I'm pretty excited on getting one.
