2007 Nissan Murano Sl Sport Utility 4-door 3.5l (70k Miles/excellent Condition) on 2040-cars

US $13,600.00
Year:2007 Mileage:70500 Color: with black leather interior
Location:

Honolulu, Hawaii, United States

Honolulu, Hawaii, United States

Up for sale is a 2007 Nissan Murano SL AWD with only 70,500 miles. It is in EXCELLENT condition. I am the second owner and am a single working professional with no pets (meaning kids and animals have not seen the inside of this car). The oil was changed this month and the Nissan Service center found nothing wrong with the car (I do have the paperwork). In fact, I had the sales department do an appraisal while I was there, and they could not believe it was an '07 due to its pristine condition. 

Why I'm selling: I'm returning to the mainland after 3 years in Hawaii. Rather than dealing with the hassle of shipping it back to the east coast, I've decided to leave it here on island. 

Potential buyers: The Murano is extremely versatile. It's "cool" enough for a single person in their 20's (like me), but spacious and reliable enough for a busy family, too! I would imagine that this would be a great car for a military family who came with only 1 POV (or single military with no POV, for that matter). Why? Because it's reliable, has low mileage, and will still have great resale value in 2-3 years. 

Price: Based on its low mileage, features, and overall condition, KBB suggests a private sale value between $13,600 and $14,400. I have chosen the low end of this spectrum mainly because I want to avoid having to take it back to the mainland with me. I am willing to negotiate based on a few factors: 

1. We agree to have it seen by a mechanic (Nissan service center) prior to sale. If there are any mechanical issues (there were not last time I was in for an oil change), we can adjust the price to reflect repair costs. 

2. I would like to keep the car until Dec. 22, the day I officially leave the island. If you are willing to work with me on this, I will consider reasonable offers. In the case that you absolutely cannot wait, I will make other arrangements. 

3. Currently, I still owe a bit of money on the vehicle. Because of this, I don't hold the title. I have contacted a Honolulu escrow service who I will pay to handle the sale. This protects you (the buyer) and me (the seller). The sale process (e.g., payment, obtaining the title, signing title over to buyer) will take 2-3 days. 

Vehicle specs: General specs are available through Google (and I'm sure if you are looking for a Murano, you're already well-versed on its features and specifications). So, as for this specific Murano...

-Black exterior with black leather interior

-Power moonroof 

-Heated front seats (not that you'll be needing this in Hawaii--however, there are some cold "winter" mornings that I use the heated seats)

-More importantly, COLD A/C

-Power seats

-Dual airbags

-Back seats not only fold down (to create a WHOLE lot of cargo space), but also recline. It is extremely spacious back there regardless (nobody has ever complained about leg room).

-Tech screen that displays fuel economy, maintenance (tire pressure, oil change schedule, fluid levels), music, etc. GPS is not enabled. 

-I find that it gets around 21 mpg in the city and often over 30 mph highway. When I drove cross country to ship out of California, I managed 34 mpg! 

-Keyless entry and start (as long as the key is within 3 feet of the vehicle, you can lock/unlock the doors and turn start). 

-Trunk space is incredible and features a heavy duty rubber mat and removable cargo cover. 

-6 CD changer with premium BOSE sound system

-CVT transmission is still under warranty. 

-Rear camera

Condition and other things you should know (because honesty IS truly the best policy):

-This car is in excellent condition. I have the oil changed every 3 months at a Nissan service center and have the vehicle detailed approximately twice per year. The backseat looks completely unused, and I've clearly taken good care of the car. As long as I've owned it, it's been garage-kept. 

-This car has been in 2 very minor accidents ("fender benders"). Both happened in a parking lot and resulted in very minor, superficial damage that was repaired at a licensed body shop. No structural damage was sustained either time. 

-I replaced the battery in the last 6 months with a "super battery" that cost me nearly $200. I'm not very car savvy, so I can't say what makes the battery so great, but apparently it is! 

-The tires probably have about 1 year left on them depending on how much you drive. With dry road conditions 90% of the time, it could be even longer than that. 

-There is a small hole (approximately 3/4 inch in diameter) in the interior plastic of the tailgate. If the tailgate is open and you look up, you can see it. If you're sitting in the trunk, you can see it. Otherwise, it's not something you'd notice. 

-There is one rather deep scratch on the exterior, driver's side door, approximately 3-4 inches long (thank you, super small parking stalls on post). It is completely superficial and not something I am willing to repair at this point. 

-I recently found a hairline tear in the driver's seat leather. It's on the side where the power seat buttons are located. I am currently looking into having it repaired. 

-I do not have ALL of the service records, but do have many. 

Again, this is a beautiful car with all the bells and whistles. It has low mileage and has been well cared for. I am willing to negotiate on the price, as per the factors I outlined above. Reasonable offers will be considered. 

I have many more pictures. If you would like to view them, please indicate that in your message. I respond to emails very promptly, but if you'd like me to call you, please leave a phone number and time that is most convenient. The vehicle is located in Honolulu (near Ward), but I am willing to meet at a mutually agreeable location should you wish to view/test drive the car. 

Thanks for looking!

Recharge Wrap-up: Renault-Nissan at COP21, fast charging viability

Tue, Dec 15 2015

Nissan and Renault's combined fleet of 200 EVs drove over 175,000 kilometers (about 108,700 miles) during the COP21 environmental summit in Paris. The largest fleet of EVs for any international conference served as shuttles for attendees, saving almost 182 barrels of oil and 18 tons of CO2 emissions. In addition to providing the Nissan Leaf, Nissan e-NV200, and Renault Zoe EV shuttles, the Renault-Nissan Alliance also set up a network of 90 chargers to support the fleet. 13 of the 27 quick and semi-quick chargers will remain in place for public use. Read more in the press release below.Siemens names Ann Arbor, Michigan for its first Center of Excellence for Intelligent Traffic Technology. The company will implement new and upgrade existing traffic technologies in the city, including cloud-based traffic management software, local controller software and an adaptive traffic control system designed to improve traffic flow and safety. In a college town with highly varying numbers of students and visitors throughout the year, "the need to move traffic in and out of the city efficiently is crucial not only for economic and environmental impacts, but for quality of life for Ann Arbor residents," says Marcus Welz, president of Siemens Intelligent Traffic Systems. Many Ann Arborites (your author included) would surely agree.

The researchers found parking spots to be the most popular public charging locations, and that fast chargers saw the most frequent use, suggesting commercial viability for the infrastructure in the short- to medium-term. The study also found that most drivers prefer to charge at home, and do so during peak hours. Incentivization could be necessary to break people from this habit. Read more at Green Car Congress.

Nissan Cube dead for 2015

Wed, 09 Jul 2014

Another class cut-up has graduated from our motor pool. The Nissan Cube's indefatigable weirdness was likely both its chief selling point and its Achilles Heel, but Autoblog sources say that after a six-year run in the US, the niche player has been scrubbed from the Japanese automaker's lineup.
The move is hardly unexpected - there was confirmation from Nissan Canada that it was pulling the plug on the asymmetric little front-driver in its market back in May, and sales have not exactly been sparkling here in the States, either. In June, Nissan shifted just 336 Cubes, down 23.8 percent year over year. So far this year, Nissan has sold 2,294 units, a sales pace off 30.9 percent versus 2013. At its peak in 2010, the Cube remained firmly a niche vehicle, selling 22,968 units.
Nissan North America's Dan Passe, senior manager of product communications, maintains that "We are continuing to sell the 2014 Cube and we haven't made an announcement about future model plans," but Autoblog sources indicate that an official announcement will be coming in the next couple of months, and the Cube has been conspicuously left off of an exhaustive 2015 lineup "Charting the Changes" announcement released on Tuesday.

DC fast charging not as damaging to EV batteries as expected

Mon, Mar 17 2014

As convenient as DC fast charging is, there have been lots of warnings that repeated dumping of so many electrons into an electric vehicle's battery pack in such a short time would reduce the battery's life. While everyone agrees that DC fast charging does have some effect on battery life, it may not be as bad as previously expected. Over on SimanaitisSays, Dennis Simanaitis, writes about a recent presentation by Matt Shirk of the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) called DC Fast, Wireless, And Conductive Charging Evaluation Projects (PDF) that describes an ongoing test of four 2012 Nissan Leaf EVs that are being charged in two pairs of two. One pair only recharges from 50-kW DC fast chargers, which the other two sip from 3.3-kW Level 2 chargers exclusively. Otherwise, the cars are operated pretty much the same: climate is automatically set to 72 degrees, are driven on public roads around Phoenix, AZ and have the same set of dedicated drivers is rotated through the four cars. "Degradation depends more on the miles traveled than on the nature of recharging." What's most interesting are the charts on page seven of Shirk's presentation (click the image above to enlarge), which show the energy capacity of each of the four vehicles. When they were new, the four batteries were each tested to measure their energy capacity and given a 0 capacity loss baseline. They were then tested at 10,000, 20,000, 30,000 and 40,000 miles, and at each point, the DC-only EVs had roughly the same amount of battery loss as the Level 2 test subjects. The DC cars did lose a bit more at each test, but only around a 25-percent overall loss after 40k, compared to 23 percent for the Level 2 cars. Simanaitis' takeaway is that, "INL data suggest that the amount of degradation depends more on the miles traveled than on the nature of recharging." The tests are part of the INLs' Advanced Vehicle Testing Activity work and a final report is forthcoming. These initial numbers from IPL do mesh with other research into DC fast charging, though. Mitsubishi said daily fast charging wouldn't really hurt the battery in the i-MiEV and MIT tests of a Fisker Karma battery showed just 10-percent loss over 1,500 rapid charge-discharge cycles.
