i need to know if its kk to go for murano 2006. its within ma budget. but want to no if
its very reliable. thnks

My candid advise is don't buy it,simple

Run away from cheap classy cars my dear. The cheaper a classy car is the more problem it will give you.

Guy if you no wan get high BP at this age if you hear mu before dem say rano make u pick race for that name talk less of the car

Run for your life! But if u want to learn how to become a mechanic then proceed with the transaction.

Have you asked yourself why the owner wants to dispose of the. Vehicle

hahahahahah chai. I just Love NL.
Op do you need to hear more?

the main problem with murano if not handled well is with the Gear box.

CHECK the transmission (gear box) very well, especially the fluid (first clue). The transmission fluid for the Murano gearbox is very, very specific because it is a CVT. Any attempt to use anything else (e.g. ATF) is sure to kill the gearbox. And it is very expensive to find and replace. Costs up to N400,000 or more.

A cheap Murano is a definitely a Murano with a failing or failed CVT transmission. That's the MAIN problem with the Murano.

@ Op I have used a 2004 nissan murano for over 3 years and it would surprise you and other commenters here that I am still on its original engine and gearbox. Its well over 290k MILES which if converted to kilometres that makes it well.into 300k plus kilometres on the odometer.


Now to the vehicle.itself apart from its acceleration style which is more like when you drive a clutchless motocycle the car is quite rugged honestly. Fuel economy is good and ac works well. Apart from pulley belt changes I have only topped up gas once and nothing else to the ac system. Servicing is done regularly with recommended engine oil and of cuz gear oil change is done with only certified Nissan CVT fluid(NS2). Thats the reason my muranon is still going strong.

The bad vibes that still l linger around the murano till now was due to ignorance then when the Murano started flooding the nigerian market and of cuz everyone except a few did not know that the gearbox used a different special transmission fluid hence kazeems go just pour non spec gear oil (ATF) I have seen someone pour ABRO ATF in his murano gear system. and kaput went the gear.

That was when the stories started and Murano now became bad market. The high cost for a replacement gear was not even helping matters at all. Ask anyone they all say the same thing. Gearbox issues and not engine issues. Most times the gear was gone even before the engine clocked 5000 klm In naija after gear oil change.


So.my OP if you ask me...Murano is a good ride. Lovin its shape and if like you said its within your budget go for it(i hope say na tokunbo sha) if naija used please go with a certified mechanic who knows the workings of a CVT transmission to verify that the gear Is without issues. Before you purchase I would advise you test run the car till the transmission and engine has gotten to normal working temperature to be very sure as sometimes transmission issues are hidden when cold.

After due diligence pay for your Murano and thank me later.
