Price of the Toyota Highlander: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr SUV 187-horsepower 2.7L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 We were able to get a new Highlander for much less money than a Honda Pilot and still get all the features we desired (larger than a Rav4/CRV, >20 MPG city, leather, and full compliment of air bags/antilock/traction control)
2007 4dr SUV 155-horsepower 2.4L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 I got it for a good price making it an easy decsision to purchase
Price of the Toyota Highlander: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2011 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Felt some options missing for $38K vehicle such as memory settings, more detailed tire monitoring
2009 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 VW was offering a sizeable discount on the Routan, a similar Highlander was from 8 to 10K more
2009 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 you pay for the reputation.
2008 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 More expensive then Pathfinder for same year and higher milage vehicles.
2008 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Because you had to purchase features you did not want, the vehicle was much more pricey than others with the same features. They charged a premium for basic features included with other makes of cars.
2008 4dr SUV 270-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Over priced because was new model at time I was looking. Configured with unwanted trim and features vs competition.

What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Nissan Murano

Price of the Nissan Murano: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6
CVT FWD		 Comparably equipped, I saved $12,000 going with the Murano instead of the Lexus, and upgraded my home theater with the money I saved
2009 4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6
CVT AWD		 great prices 3000.00 below invoice
2009 4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6
CVT AWD		 Cheaper than the Toyota Highlander. Will hold its value.
2009 4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6
CVT AWD		 I believe you get alot for your money.
2004 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6
CVT FWD		 Since I bought this used and near the end of the model year, it was priced very favorably. The payments were well below that of a similiar offering from another company.
2003 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6
CVT AWD		 Got a great deal on used 03 with 46,000 miles.
Price of the Nissan Murano: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6
CVT FWD		 The base price is not too bad, but moving up trim levels and adding options can increase that as much as 80%. Still, fully equipped, it’s over $5,000 less than a comparable Lexus RX.
2003 4dr SUV 245-horsepower 3.5L V6
CVT AWD		 pay for what you get. good bang for the buck.
