First of all thanks to all those who might be able to assist me. My wife and I have been test driving probably every crossover and or midsize suvs there are. We think we've decided on the Murano. At first we thought there was a lot of road noise compared to the Honda and new Jeeps we drove. We finally decided we were being nitpicky, because we basically loved everything else about it (fun to drive compared to all the others, good mileage, fantastic legroom, cool have little video dash, great engine, and good styling).
So that leads me to needing help. Here are some questions I have before we take the plunge.
1) I always told myself I'd never buy new again but the leases they currently have going seem to be a good deal and if gas goes up to $4 a gallon it might help to have an out in a few years? My question is, how the heck do you negotiaite a lease. I refuse to pay much if any over invoice, but is the negotiation the same on a lease? Also, I've never had a trade in before that is free and clear so how does that affect the overall lease. I saw a post on here with money factors etc. That is where I feel like the ball is in there court on a lease, all I know is the finance manager makes more than most everyone at a dealership.
2) Second, I notice every single dealer nowadays says that "You don't really have to put premium in it" I'm guessing three years ago they would have said definetely put premium in it. For all those that do have Muranos, is anybody using Regular or combos and what effect has it had on mileage or performance?
3) We really liked the looks on Edmunds photos of the 2003 Orange with the Cabernet? leather. Can't seemed to find any though. Any suggestionsAlso, did Nissan ever come out with the Hazlenut leather for this year?
Thanks again for anyone who can help us out.
