Our Murano Replaced a 1996 318Ti Club Sport. That was a pretty nice car and we laboured over whether to replace it or my 1998 SVT Contour. BMW got the nod since we could get more money for it. That makes 3 3 Series compacts that have been replaced with Muranos. Interesting.

We got the Murano in Sept 2003. Funny thing is the tires on the BMW had rock hard Pirelli P6000's and they still had 50% tread left over 70000km.

Now that it's almost time to replace the Contour I wish I had traded it in instead of the BMW. The Contour's been a great car but the resale value, Yikes! :3: At least it has lost almost no value over the last 18 months.

I haven't learned my lesson yet with the Ford resale value as I'm replacing it with a 2003 SVT Focus ZX5 that previously belonged to my brother in law in Washington.

 

2002 Nissan Sentra SER Spec V

nice!! alot of loyal nissan fans here.. i also had a 2002 nissan spec v.. she was my daily driver as well.. i sure do miss her.. that is until i drive the Mo again then all is well

 

My MO replaced my 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX. I had it fully modified pulling around 275 hp. (low ball estimate). I never dynoed it.

 

97 Jeep Wrangler Sport

I haven't sold it yet, haven't even listed it. Having separation anxiety. It has over 150k and I put 25 to 30k on my vehicle a year, so I knew I'd need something new.

I LOVE this MO! It's an awesome ride. Will still be tough to see the Jeep go.





04 Glacier Pearl AWD SL

 

My MO replaced my 2001 VW Jetta.

The car was (for the most part) great and for the first new car I ever bought myself it was tough letting it go. Of course the fact that a local dealer ripped the drivers side door off during a basic oil change and then never really got the car back to where it should be helped out. Well, that and seeing my new MO waiting in the parking lot too.

The quality of the ride in the Jetta had me seriously looking at the Touareg (sp?) but $$$ issues made the MO make so much more sense. Can't say I've regretted my decision yet.

 

Did they ever fix the power windows?

I was considering a Jetta a couple of years ago as a second car, but a buddy (married to my niece (Nephew in law? )) told me not to do it.
His lease was always getting a window fixed.

Our MO replaced an 04 Max SE... Got rid of it because it rode like a brick.. Got tired of feeling every little twig in the road.. My Dodge RAM 1500 Quad Cab rode better...

Yep, we are a Nissan Family. I started with a 93 Altima GLE in college, then 94 Infiniti J30t, Nissan Spec V. My wife had the 99 Altima GLE and now the MO!

I want my next car to be G35 coupe or (from what I "heard) the 2007 Skyline when they bring it to the States.

I love driving the MO, it almost makes me want one, but two in one family may be a bit much.

 

2003 Subaru WRX. Never had any problems with it, just wanted something bigger and more comfortable. I will probably buy a sporty car again in the near future and let my wife use the Murano.

 

1995 Isuzu Rodeo, loved it but had high miles. never had any problems. one small problem was the sound system, it had none. i couldnt upgrade speakers because cut out in dash was small. But, the murano bose system fix that problem!

 

2001 Infrared Ford Focus SE Wagon, 33K miles.
Lived up to it's brand name, F.ix O.r R.epair D.aily almost immediately afer the warranty expired

 

The '05 Mo replaced a '97 Maxima SE auto; that replaced a 1983 Datsun 200SX 5spd. with over 200k miles..

We had a few other rides in between... but a Nissan was always in the stable of cars

The Max is going strong at 130k miles... :1:

 

Replaced 2003 chevrolet 2500HD LT 4X4 Dmax/Allison,all options.

 

Replacing a 2.0 liter 19997 Honda CRV.

The inspections here are getting too expensive.

Thats what I did. I was sorry to see it go....

Same here. I have logged a lot of kilometers in the CRV and really enjoyed driving it. We have mandatory inspections of the entire car every 2 years and once the car reaches a certain age it is every year. You need to replace anything the inspectors say needs replacing. Keeps the old cars off the road and helps the domestic manufacturers sell more cars. Guaranteed sales. In fact, this time of year is a big selling season beacuse of the inspections.

The last inpection cost me about $2000. It is now 2 years later and I don't want to pay that again. So the car goes to the second hand shop - with new electronics. Ironically the electronics are probably worth more than the car.

LOL! I work on the keyboard doing code all day and still cannot type after 30 years.

 

We will be trading in my wife's Hyundai Sonata.. 2001 GLS w/ 68K miles.

Will be quite the upgrade. I'll be taking the Mo, she'll be taking on my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee that she loves so much..

 

Honda Civic. Wasn't crying to see that car go...other then for the gas mileage!

 

2003 Hyundai Santa Fe. It was a great car too, i towed 15 cars with it in one day in an ice storm that baby was moving on ice with complete control. Haven't tested the 05 Murano on Ice yet, will you know in the winter.

Wife's 04 G35 Coupe. Thank goodness we sold it! That thing was so rough! Had 16k and the rear tires were almost out. Bought an Mo with Navi because it has everything the G35 had.

 

2000 Buick LeSabre Custom, cloth interior...great, large family sedan, practical in many ways...not enough "fun", and frankly, being 43 now...I couldn't afford the "old man car" image any more (in damage to my ego).

Sold it to my church's music director...he's thrilled...and so am I with my Copper Sunburst Murano. Someone saw me in it this week, from church, and told me I made "too much money". I got it for $33,000...loaded with everything but NAV and traction control.
