Up for sale is my 2006 Nissan Murano SL AWD w/ CVT transmission. It is gray with a black cloth interior. Personally owned for 4 years, the car has been cared for intimately with meticulous maintenance and tasteful upgrades. Each upgrade and maintenance item is listed in detail below:

Engine

  • Runs like a finely tuned VQ35DE should. Well cared for with 5W-30 Mobil One and fresh filters every 5,000 miles since I picked her up. No sludge buildup over the years. 
  • At 101,000, the following were replaced with new OEM parts: timing chain tensioners, timing chain guides, water pump, water pump gasket, crank position sensor, alternator, oil cooler gasket, oil cooler line, all front and main seals, fresh spark plugs, ingition coils, valve cover and gasket.
  • At 102,000, I installed a Kinetix stainless steel intake manifold, Injen cold air intake, NWP Engineering thermal intake manifold spacer, and 2JR light weight crank pulley. Recalibrated air/fuel ratio with Consult II to ensure motor runs cooler and efficient thus ensuring extended life of motor and accessories.
  • At 109,000, I performed a coolant flush for maintenance. Car does not burn any coolant and head gasket is in good shape. 

Transmission & Transfer Case

  • All seals between CVT, transfer case and motor were replaced at 101,000 while motor was serviced. Full flushes with recommended fluids performed at the same time. Shifts smooth, is predictable, and runs strong. No issue whatsoever with both these items. 
  • AWD tested and works flawlessly.

Also note – Nissan has an extended warranty that applies to this car for the CVT:

“First, to provide you with additional assurance regarding your overall cost of ownership we have doubled the warranty period for the Continuously Variable Transmission in your Nissan. The existing powertrain warranty coverage of 5 years/60,000 miles will be extended at no cost to you, for CVT repairs, replacements or related towing, to 10 years/120,000 miles, whichever comes first.”

This means you still get comprehensive CVT coverage when purchasing this car for another 7,000 miles or 2 years – whichever comes first.

Exhaust

  • At 106,000, I installed a new Y-Pipe which included a brand new catalytic converter, Magnaflow center resonator, and Flowmaster rear muffler. I kept the OEM exahust tips to ensure a clean, stock look. All work performed by an exhaust shop with welded joints, custom connecting pipes, and new flanges. 2 new A/F upstream sensors replaced as well as 2 downstream O2 sensors at the time of installation keep this car emissions friendly. Murano sounds very throaty and deep, similar to the growl heard on the Infinity QX SUV. This is the best VQ35DE I have ever heard. Not one sign of annoying rasp. You only get a deep, throaty, satisfying engine growl. Truly a pleasure to drive.

Suspension

  • At 98,000, I installed H&R springs with new KYB shocks all around. Upfront I replaced both control arms with 100% new versions, which included new ball joints. Also installed were new outer tie rod ends on both sides, both half shafts (axles) as well as the driver side wheel bearing. All camber/caster was adjusted with 4 wheel alignment.  Steering is straight and tight. Car rides extremely smooth.
  • Wheels have some blemishes here and there but otherwise good shape.
  • Tires have 80% tread life. They are 235/60/18 Michelin Primacy MXV4. I purchased these for the stellar reviews. They ride extremely quiet, smooth, and grip in all seasons without hesitation. I truly believe tires can make or break a vehicle's handling capabilities and took no chances with this choice.
  • 4 wheel alignment performed at 109,000. Car rides very straight and smooth.
  • Front brakes are good with about 50% life, rear a little less with about 30% remaining. Cross drilled rotors have about 70% life left. Plenty of meat left for another go around with new pads.

Body

  • Body is in good shape with minor dings and marks on the bumper covers as expected on a vehicle with 100,000 miles. Badges were shaved off the trunk lid. Headlight housings have been replaced with darker versions to add to the look of the vehicle. E&G Classics Z Style polished grill installed. OEM grill included with purchase in case you want to swap them out.

Interior

  • Cloth seats and upholstery in excellent shape. Non-smoker. No holes, runs or blemishes. Typical minor wear marks on steering wheel, shifter, and silver center console trim pieces. All function well. Silver cupholder door needs persuading to close. It's not outright broken and will fold up/down, but I felt obligated to mention it as it obviously is not smooth like new. 
  • Black Weathertec laser molded all-weather front floor mats purchased as soon as I picked up the vehicle. I've always driven with these mats and because of this the carpet beneath them is in excellent shape. You'll see in the pics the rugs are perfect. Weathertec mats come with the car.
  • In dash Sony DVD/CD player will full size touch screen. Car came W/O Bose system. Metra installation kit integrated with HVAC controls. Looks sharp, sounds great! Bypass kit installed for DVD player so passenger and guests can enjoy video while you are driving and focused on the road.
  • Back up camera, HVAC, and vehicle diagnostic system work great.

General & Terms

I feel I have posted enough details and pictures to help you make an informed purchase. If for any reason you want additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me. I understand the implications of purchasing a used vehicle and feel this Murano will last you years on end with little to no attention to anything other than the typical maintenance items such as oil, brakes, etc. Drive and go. It truly is a pleasure to drive. Tight steering and handling plus the added horsepower throughout the power band make any drive very satisfying. I am selling this vehicle because I want a full size pick up as I do a lot of side work which requires bed space. 

I will gladly accept a cashiers check or cash if you are local. No Paypal deposit required. You are required to contact me or provide a number within 1 business day of auction end so we can facilitate the transaction.

Thanks for looking!

Nissan to add Rogue, Murano hybrid around 2015

Sun, 25 Aug 2013

Except for the limited-production, Toyota-assisted Altima Hybrid, Nissan has pretty much shied away from hybrid vehicles, but that is all about to change. As a part of a plan to launch a total of 15 electrified vehicles by 2016, Nissan is launching the Pathfinder Hybrid, which goes on sale this fall, and we've heard in the past that the Altima will get another hybrid variant, as well. Now, Green Car Reports is confirming that the Murano and the smaller Rogue (seen above in next-gen prototype phase) will both receive hybrid powertrains.
Though riding on different platforms, both hybrid crossovers could share the system being introduced in the Pathfinder, consisting of a 2.5-liter supercharged four-cylinder engine, a 22-horsepower electric motor and a lithium-ion battery pack. There is still no word on when the next-gen Murano will arrive, but the 2014 Nissan Rogue will be introduced on September 10.

Asking price for Paul Walker's GT-R from Fast & Furious nearly triples [w/video]

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

The German owner of the only Nissan Skyline GT-R to survive filming Fast & Furious (a.k.a., The Fast and the Furious 4) has put his car up for sale following the death of Paul Walker, Yahoo Autos reports. The original sale price was reportedly an already hefty 300,000 euros ($412,110), but it has since been raised to 1,000,000 euros ($1.37 million).
Despite many well-intentioned efforts, the Skyline GT-R was (and still is) illegal to import for street use in the US, so this R34-generation GT-R and seven others were shipped here without engines and classified as kit cars to sidestep federal law. Once here, the engines were installed, and seven street-legal GT-Rs proceeded to be destroyed during the filming of F&F. But one car, the "hero" car for sale here, was driven by Walker in non-violent scenes and thus is the only GT-R that survived filming.
Then, in July 2009, the federal government cracked down on importers of these cars, seizing almost 50 GT-Rs, including this one, telling owners to export them or risk having them destroyed. The hero GT-R was therefore exported, and its whereabouts have been unknown until recently, when the current German owner allowed it to be featured in a review (watch the German-language video below). You can see the online ad (also German) of the heavily modified GT-R here, where it sits proudly with its sky-high price tag.

Nissan Rogue Detour uses Google Maps to go create virtual test drive from your doorstep

Thu, 06 Feb 2014

The best way to evaluate a new car before you buy it is to test drive it. All of the specs and reviews in the world cannot communicate how a car suits you as well as a few minutes behind the wheel. Interesting, then, that according to Nissan, the average buyer spends twice as much time researching new cars online than they do at dealers.
To market its new 2014 Rogue, Nissan has launched an online marketing experience aimed at bridging that gap. Called The Detour, it combines Google Street View and Google Maps to give you a custom-tailored virtual test drive. The neat, uniquely interactive part about Detour is that it allows you to specify a starting and ending location. Thus, you can use the microsite to 'show' the Rogue on your commute, or your favorite stretch of tarmac. To spice things up, Nissan has added some digital effects and set the experience to a song by British rapper M.I.A.
Detour seems to work better on shorter journeys, because it snips out some portions of the route in order to keep the experience from running too long. If you're going to try it out, we suggest using a crosstown journey rather than going cross country.
