Don't ever try it. Don't say you weren't warned. Murano will cause you heart attack. No mechanic in Nigeria can help you except they want to deceive you and drain your bank account.

Refer to Nurey's post below

There are some certain Nissan years that have issues. You also have to note that Toyota is still top in reliability hence reason why it is expensive and holds its resale value.

but same can't be said for Nissan which is actually better and more rugged than Toyota in certain segment.

1. Nissan Murano. came purely with CVT transmission people didn't realize CVT is different from Automatic so the pour ATF fluid instead or CVT fluid hence the gear pack up in no time. Though the gear from factory too dey one kind due to the fact that Nissan is a pioneer of CVT transmission but as time went by they perfected it in later models.

2. Nissan Altima and maxima. the 2002 to 05 years of this Nissan too had CVT that's why it's damn cheap the gear too dey pack up with or without regular recommended maintenance. before those year and after those years were OK. Apart from transmission those year had some other minor factory design flaws.

3. Nissan quest 2005 to 2010 this one too has CVT that's the major fault has a known factory defect that was latter recalled. You can know the affect specimen by running a VIN check.

All other Nissan are good but are cheap due to the body, a lot of they just fall apart on heavy use especially when used in bad road, body starts falling like London bridge.

There are many Nissan that actually hold value as close to Toyota as it can be.

1. Nissan Xtrail very solid CUV and expensive as tokunbo and Naija used.

2. Nissan Sentry with the QD engine this one doesn't fall apart like it's close siblings I wonder why.

3. Nissan pathfinder. 2003 and 2004 especially, them cost like mad and they are indestructible (metaphor)

When buying a Nissan always check the body for rust and be weary of deformity if panel beater hit the boot for adjustment, front bumper go fall of, if he hit the door suspension go bend nah joke ooo

Nissan Murano

Engine VQ35DE 240hp one of the most reliable Nissan engine with several awards won. fitted into 10+ models. you won't have issues with this.

Engine QR25DE 4cylinder engine unfortunately it's only available in Japanese market. I doubt of you will easily find one in Nigeria.

Engine others incase you are buying naija used and it's cheap I mean cheap yeah cheap is subjective but when it's cheap and too good to be true then shine your eye it can be cloned engine meaning you are buying nothing but a LEMON.

Nissan CVT transmission this transmission fails apparently follow manufacturer recommended change interval the transmission shouldn't fail unexpectedly my advice for prolonging the transmission life is to replace with the recommended CONTINUOUS VARIABLE TRANSMISSION FLUID aka CVT-fluid Nissan (NS-2) every year.

For AWD variant you have to battle with the dreaded transfer case. The nonsense contraption apparently leaks due to worn out seals if you are lucky to notice the leak early and tackle good, if not baba ruka would be very happy, oil leak transfer case shot worse case scenario transfer case and transmission spoilt, replacement would be needed.

The luxury in the Murano is ahead of it's other competitors, a good car with independent suspension to give a comfortable ride and makes it light with good fuel economy. The 240hp is powerful enough to propel the ride when needed.

would I buy a Murano, definitely YES, I know it's weak points so I just make provision to inspect and change fluids when necessary no time to drive blandness. The parts shouldn't be expensive shares parts with Maxima, quest, teana etc

I’m afraid I can’t see the reference to Nurey in this thread. However, these two statements are false: (i) “Nissan Altima and maxima. The 2002 to 05 years of this Nissan too had CVT.” (ii) “Nissan quest 2005 to 2010 this one too has CVT.”
