Looking more like something Harrison Ford would use for transport in Blade Runner than a lifestyle 4x4, the Nissan Murano was tough to fit into any accepted category when it beamed down in the UK in 2005. Propelled by by the same engine that powered the cultish 350Z coupe, the Murano was part sports car, part 4x4 and managed to confuse the heck out of potential buyers. Even now, Muranos are an uncommon sight on our roads. While it may have been a modest seller from new, does Nissan's mothership make better sense second time round?
A used Murano offers a lot of car for your money, especially when new compacts like the BMW X3 and the Land Rover Freelander 2 are now seriously pricey. Instead of paying the thick end of £30k for one of these off a forecourt and swallowing a big depreciation hit, a year or two year old Murano looks a more sensible financial decision.
Borrow £6,000 with £1,000 deposit over 48 months with a representative APR of 18.1%, monthly payment would be £172.36, with a total cost of credit of £2,273.28 and a total amount payable of £9,273.28.
