2002 Infiniti Q45 - Premium Package
Sunroof; Bose Sound System; Power everything

Pros:
Great ride (smooth, powerful acceleration). 140,000 miles. New tires. Regular maintenance. Clean (non-smoking). 22 MPG avg. (26 MPG Highway). Bose sound system.  Power seats/steering.

Cons:
Mostly cosmetic:  exterior has ~10 minor dents (falling acorns!), front & rear bumper have road rash. Trunk lid has small dent.  Rear sunscreen is disabled (disconnected and clipped in the down position). Tire Pressure Monitor (TPMS) light goes on after 9 min. (tires are fine!). Small (hidden) tear on front seat (driver's side). Driver's floor mat is worn. Rear right quarter panel was repainted although Car Fax did not have any record of the car being in an accident.

I inherited a newer car, so this one has to go. This car is not in mint condition, but it has been a blast to drive - smooth, reliable and quiet for five years. 

In its present condition, KBB.com has this car valued at $6,625. I have reduced my asking price to account for the cosmetic issues mentioned above  (you will likely want to repaint/repair bumpers).  The TPMS issue is a minor nuisance (tires are fine).  You can 'fix' it by placing a small square piece of black electrical tape over the warning light. The dealer claims the TPMS fault is due to 'low battery' levels in one of the tire sensors.  


Here are some further notes in the form of a message with another bidder from a prior auction....(I just relisted the car):

I'll try to answer your questions but as a general principle, the car is being sold "as is".  If you would like to inspect it prior to the auction end we can make arrangements.

1)  No, I do not have maintenance records beyond recipts for services at my regular garage and the dealer.
2)  No, timing chain was never replaced.
3)  Yes, brakes have been serviced/replaced
4)  No, exhaust is original
5)  Precise mileage information is in CarFax report; I believe I drove it about 70,000 miles
6)  No, I don't know anything more about the rear quarter panel.  If it was an accident, it was not reported to CarFax and was not disclosed to me when I bought it.  The bumper was repainted and it was represented to me as a minor "ding".  The paint job is not great, hence my discounted price for the new owner to get it repainted.
7)  Dent is on top of the trunk lid,  It was represented to me as someone closing the trunk with something stuck between the lid and the deck.  
8)  No, I don't believe the acorn dents are that noticeable; the dent on the left rear quarter panel is from a large, falling branch.  It left a noticiable scuff and a dent.  I think it can be buffed out to minimize the appearance.  Rather than speculating, I recommend you inspect the car before you decide.
9)  No, the dealer says it is caused by dead/dying batteries in the tire stems. He wanted $600 to replace all four.  However, that is 8 months ago and the TPMS still shows tire pressure telemetry from the "dead" batteries...at least for nine minutes upon startup.  So, I doubt the dealer's disagnosis.  This is an annoyance, not a critical defect so far as I am concerned.  
10)  As I stated earlier, the car is being sold "as is".  It was built in Spetember 2001, so I can not give any assurances about "future" mechanical issues.  However, the car has been fairly reliable and great to drive.  Again, please arrange for an inspection, preferably by a trusted mechanic, before you bid.

Infiniti G37 to live on in showrooms alongside 2014 Q50

Fri, 19 Jul 2013

Infiniti is preparing to roll out its hotly anticipated 2014 Q50, a car that not only ushers in a new alphanumeric naming strategy, it ostensibly replaces the G37 as the brand's bread-and-butter sport sedan. That will happen, but not in the short-term, as the G37 will continue to be manufactured and sold alongside the Q50, at least for the rest of this year.
Infiniti spokesman Kyle Bazemore has confirmed to Autoblog that a decision is pending on how long to extend the G37 sedan's production run. "We're taking Q50 up a little bit, and that allows us to keep the G Sedan in the lineup... It [Q50] certainly started as a replacement, but it ended up being much more than that." Confusingly, Infiniti has already announced that the Q50 is to start at $37,605 (including $905 destination charge), yet the 2013 G37 is more expensive, starting at $38,255 delivered according to Infiniti's consumer website. Thus, a price drop on the G37 is likely coming in short order.
So why hold on to the older model? With the Q50 launching exclusively with V6 and Hybrid models (a turbo four and diesel are said to be in the cards down the road), Infiniti evidently feels it is risking leaving lower-end sales on the table. "There's a lot of movement with the [BMW] 320i and such, and this allows us a two-tier strategy to compete," says Bazemore. Keeping the G37 on tap at a lower price for fleet sale duty may also serve to protect the Q50 as it establishes itself on the market.

Infiniti Q60 Coupe spied in production guise

Sat, Nov 7 2015

Here is the best news we've had all day: the production Infiniti Q60 Coupe will bear an uncanny resemblance to the concept car that previewed it earlier this year in Detroit. We know this thanks to our very first round of spy photos of the heavily camouflaged production car. Although there are only three images to draw from, we've got a clear picture of the concept-inspired lines of this new two-door. In particular, the front and rear fascias look to draw a lot of inspiration from the concept. In front, the headlights look to be similar in shape, while the double-arch grille looks largely unchanged from what the company previewed. Perhaps the biggest change up front is around the fog lights, which look to sit in far more conventional housings. Also gone is the Q60 Concept's Formula One-inspired chin, possibly in part due to the company's (and parent Renault's) perilous position as a title sponsor for the Red Bull Racing team. The taillights reinforce the concept car inspiration, retaining a similarly svelte shape and tying in with a small trunk lid. Also like the Q60 Concept, our spies report that a twin-turbocharged, 3.0-liter V6 will be on offer, likely as the range-topping engine. We'd expect the volume motor to be the Mercedes-Benz 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder found in the likes of the new Q30, as well as the CLA-, GLA-, and A-Class. It's also certainly possible that Infiniti's long-serving 3.7-liter V6 will be available in some form. Whatever engines arrive, we can expect six-speed manual and seven-speed automatic transmissions to be the sole options. Have a look at the photos up at the top of the page. And for comparison's sake, we've included the official Q60 Concept gallery down below just under the video showing a 360-degree view. Take a peek at both and let us know what you think of Infiniti's work.

Poor headlights cause 40 cars to miss IIHS Top Safety Pick rating

Mon, Aug 6 2018

Over the past few months, we've noticed a number of cars and SUVs that have come incredibly close to earning one of the IIHS's highest accolades, the Top Safety Pick rating. They have great crash test scores and solid automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems. What trips them up is headlights. That got us wondering, how many vehicles are there that are coming up short because they don't have headlights that meet the organization's criteria for an "Acceptable" or "Good" rating. This is a revision made after 2017, a year in which headlights weren't factored in for this specific award. This is also why why some vehicles, such as the Ford F-150, might have had the award last year, but have lost it for this year. We reached out to someone at IIHS to find out. He responded with the following car models. Depending on how you count, a whopping 40 models crash well enough to receive the rating, but don't get it because their headlights are either "Poor" or "Marginal." We say depending on how you count because the IIHS actual counts truck body styles differently, and the Infiniti Q70 is a special case. Apparently the version of the Q70 that has good headlights doesn't have adequate forward collision prevention technology. And the one that has good forward collision tech doesn't have good enough headlights. We've provided the entire list of vehicles below in alphabetical order. Interestingly, it seems the Volkswagen Group is having the most difficulty providing good headlights with its otherwise safe cars. It had the most models on the list at 9 split between Audi and Volkswagen. GM is next in line with 7 models. It is worth noting again that though these vehicles have subpar headlights and don't quite earn Top Safety Pick awards, that doesn't mean they're unsafe. They all score well enough in crash testing and forward collision prevention that they would get the coveted award if the lights were better.
