2003 Infiniti Fx35 Luxury Sport Utility Rwd V6 Black Exterior, Rare Tan Interior on 2040-cars

I’m selling my much-beloved 2003 Infiniti FX35 RWD Sport with 124,386 miles on it because my wife and I no longer need two vehicles: Since we moved close to downtown Indy, we can bike pretty much everywhere or share our Prius when necessary.

This luxurious crossover is in good condition for its age. It features a rare black exterior/light tan (almost orange) leather interior combo and has the perfect mix of gorgeous styling, fun-to-drive speed and handling, and room. Plus, it’s ultra-reliable and rated extremely highly by Consumer Reports and many other automotive publications.

I’ve had zero problems with the car’s reliability and have had the oil regularly and professionally changed, the tires regularly rotated, and the body washed often. Service has been done at manufacturer’s recommended intervals. Until last month, the car was stored nightly in my garage.

Given its surprising speed and compared to other cars, this FX gets good gas mileage. Driven reasonably, you’ll get about 18 mpg city/25 mpg highway. I say “reasonably” because this car begs to be driven like a sports car: The interior feels like a cockpit, and the nimble handling and one-of-a-kind tuned sound from the dual exhaust make this car feel incredible and drive like no other in its class. I got about 20 mpg combined, though if you drive this car as fast as you’ll want to, expect less, of course.

More features:

• new Duracell 12V Procell 24 battery with 1-year warranty
• professionally installed privacy tint on driver’s side and passenger side windows to match factory tint in rear
• 20” chrome Infiniti wheels
• Yokohama Parada tires installed at 92,000 miles--work well in all weather conditions and have free rotations & balancing through Discount Tire
• incredible Bose sound system, with spare-tire-mounted subwoofer, 6-disc in-dash CD player, and cassette player (you do still have some cassettes, right?)
• 2 key fobs (one’s shell is broken but it still works)
• 1 key, with an uncut/unprogrammed spare
• cold AC
• working cruise control
• telescoping steering wheel & gauges
• traction control (turn this off in the snow for some fun)
• heavy-duty rubber trunk protector mat
• dual power front seats (driver’s has 2 memory settings) & reclining rear seats
• roof rack
• smoke-free

I bought this FX almost 5 years ago from a dealer in Phoenix, AZ with 83,426 miles on it and had it shipped to me on a truck. As with any 10+ year-old car, it’s showing signs of age. The chrome wheels were nearly mint thanks to the weather out there, but after one winter here, they started to get pitted (see picture.) The driver’s seat has a tear in the leather. The rear windows roll down when controlled from the front seat, but not up (however they will go up if you use their own switches.) The outside mirrors don’t always move right away when you press their buttons. The passenger-side rear door appears to have been repainted for some reason before I purchased the car and is duller than the rest of the car and has some chips in the paint (though a vehicle history report doesn’t show any accidents.) The brake pads and rack and pinion will likely need to be replaced soon, though I don’t know when. And, because I used to put my dogs in the back with the seats folded down and the metal barrier up so they couldn’t get in front, the rear bumper is scratched from them jumping in--and there’s bound to be some dog hair in the car when you get it. Thankfully, I haven’t seen any signs of rust on the car.

If you can look past those minor issues and want a sporty, luxurious, reliable, sexy car with room to spare, this is the car for you. Everything else on it works, including the sunroof, and I have all the records of oil changes and maintenance if you want them.

I'm happy to help ship this vehicle insofar as being here when a certified, reliable shipper comes to pick it up, but I won't arrange the shipping for you.

If you aren't sure you want this vehicle or aren't sure you can afford the price you're bidding, please do not bid.
