We love our 2005 AWD SL. The only problem we've had with it is an intermittent dash rattle the service dept here can't seem to find (and it's very intermittent).
I was a bit concerned a couple of months after purchasing it because I could only find one manufacturer making tires for it (Goodyear)...but I just checked a couple of days ago and see Michelin's now got a tire to fit.
Ours has just about every option except stability control...they couldn't find one with Navigation and that when we bought it last year.
We've got just about 18,000 miles on it already.

I had a dash rattle in my maxima. It turned out to be the heat shield covering the cat converter.

I have an 03 with 104K. Just put on the first set of brakes (didn't have to turn the rotors) and am having a tranny/rad service along with a plug change tomorrow. The only repairs I've had are a drivers side window system failed, the oil pan rusted and developed a leak (kind of weird isn't it???) and a seal in the left front wheel had to be replaced.
I've had zero mechanical problems - this being Nissan #13 for me.

I've only had my Mo for around 2 mo. now. Ab-so-lute-ly love it! It's pre-owned but was well taken care of. I can not say enough about how pleased I am with it. I'd rather be in it than my house! :)
I have 105K on my 03 Murano AWD. It represents my 13th Nissan. I love the vehicle, but I'll give you my honest opinion.
I've spent more $$$ on the Murano than my previous 12 Nissan's combined! However with that said, I have still had excellent service. Here's a list of things I had to do out of pocket.
This car has NEVER been off road, is washed at least once a week (usually automatic car wash), is sprayed or washed even during salty months unless the car wash is closed due to low temps.
On the positive side, the CVT is AMAZING. My favorite feature of the car. The car has a taut ride compared to my Impala (my first American vehicle since 1982) but continues to perform beautifully, does not use a drop of oil, and consistently delivers 24mpg on the highway with 20 around town. The mileage typically drops 2 around town and 1 on the highway if I don't use premium gas.
No other problems or repairs, and I'm planning to keep it a while longer as I have retired it to the wife's daily trek to work and am logging max mileage on the Impala (which incidentally has performed without a single repair at 35K).

Thanks Willy for all the info. The only other Nissan I've owned is a
96 Altima SE 5-sp bought new. Still have it. It's been trouble free. It only has 80k mi. on it tho.My Mo is an 04 2WD w/ 32k mi. I will certainly keep an eye on the trouble spots you've encountered. I think this is the second incident I've come across of a leak between the engine and tranny. I saw one on a Forum a couple of months ago. Lets hope it's not too common. I have one thing working in my favor. I purchased an extended warranty for 5 yrs/100k mi. It has given me piece of mind. :) This is the first time I've purchased a used vehicle in about 30 yrs. You never know what you're buying, unless it's from someone you know.
The CVT is what makes this vehicle what it is. Sweeeeeet. Without this, it might be,, just another SUV. Besides this tho, it's sooo comfy. It feels very roomy up front. The seats are the most comfortable I've ever owned. (I suspect the previous owner was a big man, and has them broken-in reeal good :) There seems to be extra seat height-to floor, which adds to comfort and that spacious feeling.
The ride is good for me. I'm used to a little stiffer ride, and prefer it. I get a better feel this way. Not that it's all that ruff, it just doesn't compare to my wife's Solara. And it shouldn't/couldn't.
I looking forward to many yrs of enjoyable ownership.
I think I'll go for a ride......
