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 could offer plug-in hybrids by 2016

Fri, Jun 6 2014

Nissan is recharging the idea of a production plug-in hybrid model. The Japanese automaker may start making a plug-in hybrid by as soon as late 2015, with deliveries to start in time for the 2016 model year, Green Car Reports says, citing an interview with company executive Andy Palmer. Those comments go against what Nissan said during the North American Auto Show in January. Palmer didn't specify what class of vehicle the plug-in hybrid would be, but he said battery-electric vehicles are best suited for cars 3,850 pounds or lighter, according to Green Car Reports. That would imply that the plug-in hybrid powertrain may be used for a mid-sized sedan or a crossover vehicle. Either way, a Nissan PHEV may pair the Nissan Leaf's 108-horsepower electric motor with a gas engine. Whether Palmer's projected timeframe was more of a ballpark estimate is anyone's guess, as the company hasn't made official plans for a 2016 model-year plug-in hybrid, Nissan spokesman Tim Gallagher wrote in an e-mail to AutoblogGreen. Either way, feel free to join us in the comments below. Nissan is coming off its best-ever sale month for the Leaf, which has moved about 115,000 units around the world. Domestic sales of the Leaf in May rose 46 percent from a year earlier to a monthly record 3,117 vehicles. Through the first five months of the year, Leaf sales increased 36 percent, to 10,389 units.
