Following in the footsteps of most other major automakers, Nissan has announced modest price increases for some of its 2008 and 2009 vehicles. In addition, the Japanese automaker will also increase the price of its destination charge.
The base model 2009 Murano S will now start at $29,250, a $575 increase over the 2009 Murano’s original base price of $28,675. The new price includes a $780 destination charge, which is up $35 since the price hike.
The popular 2008 Sentra S will also see a price increase – going from a base price of $17,030 to $16,930 – and, like all Nissan and Infiniti models (save for the Nissan GT-R ), will share the Murano’s $35 destination charge increase.
Although the price hikes are relatively small, they’re a sign of changing times in the automotive world.
