  It's hard to believe because there about 1,000,000 of them around it seems.

  Sounds like jive to me. The 1st generation I would stay away from but I think they are very reliable now. The CVT actually has a lot less friction than traditional Trannys - less moving parts. They come pretty much contained (you cant do transmission flushes) - You can change the fluid, I would do that just like any other car.

  Yeah I have that. It's pretty cool. Mine is lifetime warranty on it through the dealership so I don't have to worry about it lol. I got about 55,000 on mine and haven't had a single problem. It hauls ass too. I'll be on the highway and before I know it I'm going 90 without even realizing it lol

  I had a rogue before the fiancé totaled it. We ended up getting the fully loaded murano for pretty much the same payments a month and only 6 months more of financing. I got it for about 7,000 less than the Kelly blue book value and plus it was used certified so I still got all the warranties through the dealer.

  When you drive a 2009 lemon and then are looking at another 2009.....you feel a little iffy.
  
  Looking at a Mazda X7 1st....if it doesn't hit our likings the Muranos will follow.
  
  The X7 absolutely hauls as well....the one we test drove (but the exterior was disappointing)....just went...loved it for that.

  I've been there one time and **** them. Lol
  
  We were young and looking at a Ford Explorer and had a trade in worth about $4,000.....they gave us a piece of paper that said "we're dealin"....and $535 a month......we turned to walk out and 10 min later he came back with his "we're dealin" at $511 a month after trade in.....WE LEAVE drive 80 miles south to Jackson and buy the same make/model and only 1,000 miles more and they came down lower on the Explorer and gave us way more for our trade in and the payments were $455 a month.
  
  Ricart flat out tried to completely job us.
  
  Too many other places to go.

  Me thinks maybe it's not the dealer? :huh:

  Not sure how that big of a difference could be me....if it was then I couldn't have ever gotten it.

  Well....it appears with the Internet pricing that the price is....the price lol
  
  That being said we were at some elaborate dealer in Dublin and even though we were just buying a Mazda....this place was much different than anywhere I had been and waiting in the Mercedes showroom was funny for me in my Reds t-shirt but anyways....got a great deal and loved the car so.....
  
  it's ours and she's happy.
