The 2012 Nissan Murano for buyers
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2012 Nissan Murano for sale by us right now. The 2012 Nissan Murano for buyers: what the numbers say, what to check, how to try it.
A buyer's checks
In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package.
Under the hood
The engine is the 3.5L 6-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
Fuel use is rated 11.5 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 35 litres. That works out to about $17.83 per 100 km at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,350 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Practical details
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
Who it is for
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.
A longer test drive
Rent first, buy later: a week with the Murano answers the big questions. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. If the Murano is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.
The cost of driving it
A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,350 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.
Which one to look for
Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person.
