crikey...reading all this info abt r35 servicing cost has put me off one for sure.
actually havent have good rapport with nissan aus lately. always been a nissan fan since got my license. my 1st car was 200sx then 350z 35th anniversary model and purchased a murano for the mrs lasy yr. all bought brand new.
anyway took the murano for 10km service last yr, nissan dealer want to clean the murano fuel injector and it will cost $130. I asked how come I never have to do that for my 350z and they both use the same engine...the reply was they dont know. So i called nissan aus to querry and all i got was answer machine, left a msg and never get a reply after couple of wk. then faxed them a letter and got call back after 1 wk but i was happened to be away so got a msg in my voicemail. Tried to call back and got the answer machine again..well u guess it..i gave up. Oh they also charged me $100 for changin my aircon filter without telling me.
recently took the murano back for 20k service, they insisted on cleanin the fuel injectors again..so i sorta gave in coz i could give a f. the bill was $480 for it which i think is a rip off so dont think i will take it back to nissan for servicin again.
was thinkin of upgrade the 350z.....thinking of the 370z or gtr...but after readin all this fuss abt the service cost for gtr ...i think i may put that idea off now. 370z....may be i will quizz them abt the service cost b4 i buy it now.
got a feelin nissan aus or may be certain dealer try to rip us normal drivers off for tryin to keep the warranty and during this slow car sales time.
tks for all the info guys. keep up the good work. btw i just have to register today to vent my frustation with nissan too.
