I own a 2006 Nissan Murano. (Also own a 2007 Titan LE). The Murano is a lease that we've had for 18 monts. We still have 21 month to go. The mileage is only 13,000 at this point, well below the 18,000 miles that is average for a car of this age. So we are ahead of the lease miles by 5,000.

I want to know if anyone has gotten out of a Nissan Lease early. There are a number of reasons for this attempt. We like the Murano, but we have had a drastic change in my wife's job status. It would benefit us greatly to get out from this payment and into something about half as much. We intend to see the dealer this weekend (they are over 200 miles away) and ask about this. I don't want to even bring it up until I find out it is possible.

We would buy another car from them if they allowed us to do this. The Murano is a great vehicle, but there are a few things we are disappointed with. There are a lot of rattles that have developed in the last few months. The paint has numerous specks of rust on it that won't come off, mostly behind the front tires on the doors. I was told by the dealer this is metal flaking from the brakes and it adheres to the paint. It then oxidizes and you get the rust spots. They are small , but my wife really notices them everytime she washes it.

I love my Titan, though. I have had it for 5 months and have only driven it 3,300 miles. There are very few of them in our area (no dealers close by) and I get a lot of looks and questions about it. I didn't buy the truck for the reason, but it is sure nice to hear it looks good. Couldn't be happier.

If anyone has info on the lease question, please respond right away. This info will be helpful when I get to the dealership on Friday.
