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, and all front and main seals. The rear main seal started leaking at 100,000 so I had the entire engine serviced. I decided to have the timing parts changed while the motor was worked on because they have a tendency to go bad (plastic).
  • 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 107,000, I installed 6 new NKG spark plugs and replaced 3 of 6 ignition coils. Upon removing spark plugs 3 of the boots looked worn so I replaced them. I also installed a new OEM valve cover and fresh valve cover gasket as the old one looked worn.
  • 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 8,000 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. Please be aware the springs have slightly lowered the vehicle thus causing the suspension to be slightly more stiff than stock. All camber/caster was adjusted with 4 wheel alignment.  Steering is straight and tight. Car rides extremely smooth.
  • Wheels are in decent shape with minor rash on 1 of the rear wheels (see pics). 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.
  • 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. 

There is no spare tire included in this auction. Random items such as extra oil filters, the old OEM radio, and OEM HVAC/radio interface are included. I always kept many spare items on hand as I was meticulous regarding maintenance as you can tell. This car drives better than new and basically all of the wear items were replaced. You’re pretty much getting a new Murano.

Please note there is a lien on the vehicle. The selling cost will cover what is owed so once I receive payment I will forward to Capital One who will issue the title to me. At that point I will immediately sign it over to you. The whole process takes a day or two. I just want to make you aware that once payment is made you can pick up the car or have it shipped within a few days. Any questions please send me a note or ask for my number to discuss.

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 2 business days of auction end so we can facilitate the transaction.

Thanks for looking!

Nissan Recalls More Than One Million Vehicles For Air Bags

Wed, Mar 26 2014

Nissan is recalling just over one million cars, SUVs and vans because the front passenger air bags may not inflate in a crash. It's the company's second recall to fix the same problem. The recall affects the Altima midsize car, Leaf electric car, Pathfinder SUV and Sentra compact models from the 2013 and 2014 model years, as well as the NV200 Taxi van and Infiniti JX35 SUV from 2013. Also covered are the Infiniti QX60 and Q50 SUVs from 2014. In documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Nissan says the vehicles' computer software may not detect an adult in the passenger seat. If that happens, the air bags won't inflate. Nissan will notify owners and dealers will update the software for free. The recall is expected to start in mid-April. Most of the vehicles were recalled in February of last year for a similar problem. Dealers replaced seat sensors, but Nissan said it continued to get consumer complaints and warranty claims in vehicles that had been repaired. Front passenger seats have sensors that determine the passenger's weight and turn off air bags off if a child is on board. The malfunctioning sensors can turn the air bags off even if an adult is in the seat. Nissan received three reports of air bags failing to inflate in a crash. Spokesman Steve Yeager said in an e-mail that he is not sure if anyone was hurt in those incidents. There have been no deaths due to the problem, he said. The recall affects almost 990,000 vehicles in the U.S., another 60,000 in Canada and small numbers in other countries, Yeager said. Related Gallery Nissan Searches For Identity In America

Dongfeng-Nissan surprises with Viwa Concept EV for Venucia

Sat, 20 Apr 2013

Nissan has a joint venture in China with Dongfeng to make passenger vehicles, and last year the two companies created a sub-brand called Venucia that aims to roll out five cars by 2015. With the gasoline-engined D50 and R50 and a pilot program for the E30 electric car already out, this little orange beast, the Viwa EV concept, could point the way to a future offering.
Looking like a Chevrolet Spark that spent the weekend raving in Ibiza, the Venucia Viwa EV aims to be reliable, practical, efficient and accessible all in one package. Beyond the practical bit, defined as, "packaged with a compact body for easy driving," Venucia hasn't said how any of those other qualities are achieved. In fact, it hasn't even divulged the specifics of the electric powerplant. However, it does say that it will be developing more EVs under the guide of "China's new energy vehicle policy."
You can get a little more info about it in the press release below, or discover the little peach in the high-res gallery above.

Recharge Wrap-up: Nissan Murano Hybrid in China, FCA hearts E15

Tue, Aug 18 2015

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) has approved the use of E15 in its 2016 model year vehicles. The Renewable Fuels Association is pleased with the automaker's choice to cover the higher ethanol blend in its warranty statements, describing it as a positive signal for the future growth of E15. "FCA's decision to join GM and Ford provides clear evidence that the tide on E15 has turned," says RFA President and CEO Bob Dinneen. "The automaker's decision not to embrace E15 had been a major point of concern and tension for the last three years." Read more from the RFA. Skoda's head of purchasing, Dieter Seemann, discusses sourcing EV components in a new interview. He says the biggest challenge is seeking out future suppliers for electric motor and connected vehicle components. "We have to really understand what happens in this business to identify the right partners to have in five to eight years from now," says Seemann. "Many of these are suppliers completely new to us." He says Skoda purchases 50 to 55 percent of its parts directly, while chassis and powertrain parts are shared among other Volkswagen Group brands. Read the full interview at Automotive News Europe. Nissan is helping the European Commission develop a pedestrian alert system for electric vehicles. Called Electric Vehicle Alert for Detection and Emergency Response (eVADER), the project aims to develop technology that provides audible cues to alert pedestrians to oncoming vehicles without contributing to noise pollution. Nissan created a system for the Leaf that uses a camera to recognize pedestrians and cyclists and direct a sound in their direction. This work will help the EU shape its laws moving forward.
