How do I Get the Invoice Price of a Nissan Murano?

Invoice price is an important figure to know when negotiating a new car purchase. Invoice price is the price a car dealer pays the manufacturer for a new vehicle. Other fees, such as destination charge and advertising expenses, are added to the total expense of stocking and selling a new car. Though it might seem like it should be a closely-guarded secret, you can find invoice pricing online for the Nissan Murano.

Instructions

1

Research the Nissan Murano to determine which color, package and options you would like. These features can all impact the invoice price of the car. Invoice prices are only available for new models, so focus your research on the latest model years. The Nissan website will have detailed descriptions and photos of the new Murano. Automotive websites like Edmunds.com and Newcars.com will also have details about the features and options on the Murano, as well as expert and consumer reviews and ratings.

2

Look up the invoice price on automotive websites. Sites like Edmunds.com and Newcars.com will provide an invoice price range or require you to configure a Nissan Murano online with the options and features you want to get a specific invoice price. These sites will often tell you the destination fees, too.

3

Check for factory-to-dealer incentives. Manufacturers will often give dealers special bonuses and incentives to sell certain vehicles, especially if sales have been slow or the model year is ending. Some automotive sites, such as Cars.com, publish these factory-to-dealer incentives. Promotions vary throughout the year, so check to see if Nissan has dealer incentives for the Murano before you visit the dealership. While dealers have no obligation to pass the savings along to you, it can be powerful information for negotiations.

4

Talk to the dealer. If the dealer claims the invoice pricing you've found online for the Nissan Murano is incorrect, ask to see the invoice. Many dealers are willing to show potential buyers the actual paperwork from the manufacturer, especially since invoice pricing is published widely online.
