PRESENCE POWER PERFORMANCE PROVENANCE PRESTIGE PRESENCE: This is a car that people notice. Most don't know what it is, but they can't help staring and admiring. Most think it is much newer than it is. Those in the know start drooling and babbling that they haven't seen one this nice in many years. Up for auction is my fantastic 1994 Infiniti Q45t. If you are familiar with this car, you can skip to the next paragraph. When Infiniti first built the Q45, they had BMW squarely in their sights. They were out to build a car of the highest quality, fit and finish, and performance. They certainly succeeded in creating an overbuilt car that cost Nissan more money than they ever made on this model. And they were not cheap, either. This car comes with the original window sticker which shows a MSRP of $51,325. The beauty of a car like this is that with proper care it can last for decades and hundreds of thousands of miles. And when some part is wearing out, it does so with "graceful degradation", meaning that there tends to be warning signs of failure rather than anything sudden happening. The Q45 is capable of top speeds in excess of 155 MPH, and with an ECU modification it can do 170+. Just in case you have access to that kind of road! This is also a Touring model, which came with Super Hicas 4 wheel steering, trunk spoiler and BBS wheels. The BBS wheels are long gone. When the previous owner bought the car from an Infiniti dealer in 1996, he had them trade for a set of chromed turbine wheels. Go figure. Well I sold them so they are gone too. This is the only non original thing on the car. The car is in incredible shape for being 20 years old. I bought the car last November. I was looking for something else entirely at the time but when I saw it, I had to have it. You see, years ago I owned a black on black 1993 Q45 that I loved dearly. I had that car for 7 years and when I finally sold it (I was traveling the country in my RV and didn't want it to sit), it had 222k miles on it. A friend's teenage daughter managed to get another 2 years out of the car despite poor maintenance. Needless to say, I was sold when I saw this car. It is way nicer than my other car ever was. Well, after searching for eight months, I finally found the car I was originally looking for. I can't keep both so my sweet Q45 is now for sale. The previous owner garaged it when not driving and did regular maintenance. The paint is completely original and still has a great shine. The interior looks nearly new. The leather seats are in amazing condition. There's no cracks, tears, split seams or excessive wear anywhere. Never smoked in, there are no funny smells, only the aroma of rich leather. To help preserve the seats' condition, I soaked them with mink oil for 3 days. Nobody's old french fries under these seats! The car drives like a Q45 should and you would be hard pressed to find another one this nice anywhere. Since I got it, I have fully serviced the car including oil and filter, air filter, fuel filter, transmission filter service and complete fluid replacement. New wiper blades, clean washer fluid. I did find some oil seepage coming from between the oil filter mounting base and the block. It's not enough to notice any drop on the dipstick so I haven't bothered to fix it. It's not burning any oil either as I haven't added a drop of oil since the last oil change 2000 miles ago and it's still full. I wanted to bring the looks and handling into the 21st century, so I put a new set of 18x8 OEM wheels, not from Infiniti but they sure look it. I will only tell the buyer what they came from as I studied hard to put the package together, and I like the fact that I haven't seen another Q45 with this combo. Combined with the new Sumitomo HTR-ZIII 245/40/18XL tires, the look and handling of this Q45 has been transformed and updated. Tires have around 2k on them. The car drives like a nearly new car. It is quite fast and moves with authority ( watch the video below!). Everything feels smooth and tight. The cockpit is whisper quiet even at extralegal speeds, save for the ferocious roar of the 4 cam V8 when you step on it. Mechanically, the car is fully functional and needs nothing. Ac and heat work great. Windows, locks, sunroof, mirrors, seats, cruise control are all working. All interior and exterior lighting works except for the trunk light. Bose stereo works great through the front speakers. Both rear speaker amps were making noise so they have been disconnected. Power antenna works great, CD changer does not. If this is significant for you, I might have a line on one for $25. The trim at the base of the driver's seat is cracked. Driver's headrest doesn't move. There are some door dings that would be removable by paintless dent removal. There are typical rock chips on the front of the hood, small scratches like you might expect to see on a black car that is a few years old. The rear bumper has a flex crack on the right corner. Looks exactly like it did when I got it, so I don't think it will peel. The front bumper has a couple of light, hard to see impressions that did not crack the paint, plus a few small chips. Some careful touch up on the chips and they would all but disappear. I decided to let it be. In my opinion, the car is near show quality and would score high for originality. It's just hard to believe it is 20 years old! Included is the owner's manual, all the original keys (2 large medallion keys, 2 smaller keys and a flat wallet key), and 2 keyless remotes. Although I don't think it came with a '94, I am including a cool Infiniti key case that a friend gave me. Also included are some parts that I picked up reasonably since I got the car. The winner will get an excellent used transmission pulled from a clean wreck with 93k miles. I got a deal I couldn't refuse so I figured I would have a spare. Same with a spare cam angle sensor. Also a set of very rare Eibach performance springs mounted to Tokico blue shocks. The rear shocks are in good shape. The fronts have some damage to the mounting and perch, plus they are for 90-93, so I wouldn't use them. I was going to put the springs on to lower the car mainly for looks but in time I decided I like way it looks, as well as the ride quality. I also have a new rack boot that I didn't get around to putting on. The left side is torn but there are no leaks. This might just be the nicest original Q45 for sale anywhere. All in all, it's a freakin' fantastic car. I would not hesitate to get in this car and drive it to Key West RIGHT NOW! Drive, collect, show. Export it to Japan, you would probably make a killing as they never had these. It's your choice. I can send a copy of the clean Autocheck report if desired. There is a modest reserve, certainly low for a car of this quality. Requests for the reserve will be ignored, please just bid what you are willing to pay. Please review my feedback, I have sold many vehicles on ebay with no complaints. Don't let it get away because you know the old saying "It's only original once!"

The car passed smog the last time it was done on 11/19/13 but it will need to be brought current to register. I am selling the car as is, and any registration and/or smog costs will be at buyer's expense. But to encourage California bidders, if you are registering the car in CA I will deduct $100 from your winning bid to help cover these costs. TERMS AND CONDITIONS, PLEASE READ: Vehicle is sold AS-IS, WHERE IS. A NON-REFUNDABLE $500 Paypal deposit is to be made within 24 hours of auction's end. Balance to be paid by cash in person, bank transfer or verifiable cashier's check. Full payment required within 7 days. Title and vehicle will be released when payment clears. Pickup is to be made within 14 days of auction's end. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, but I would be happy to work with buyer to help get the car shipped. Exceptions to the terms and conditions will only be considered with prior arrangement. If you have questions about something not covered here, please send your phone number through ebay and I will call you promptly.

Infiniti teases a new concept for the Detroit Auto Show
Thu, Dec 21 2017Infiniti is the latest company to join a steadily growing list of big reveals at the 2018 Detroit Auto Show. It just released a teaser image of a concept it will display. It looks fairly typical of Infiniti, with long flowing curves, and the company's signature grille. And of course, it will be painted white. The company revealed very little about it, not even a name. But a quote from Infiniti's Executive Design Director may shed a bit of light on the car. He talks about "more compact and less intrusive powertrains" giving freedom to design, and that this car has a "long cabin." This leads us to believe that this concept may feature some kind of alternative powertrain, perhaps hybrid or fully electric. It could even use a smaller version of Infiniti's variable compression engine. We also think that this car may have a profile akin to the Jaguar I-Pace, with a much more cab-forward look. When Jaguar revealed the I-Pace, it made a big deal about how going to electric propulsion gave them the opportunity to rethink what looks luxurious, sporty and aggressive, since there wasn't an engine at the front to require a long nose. Infiniti's design director's words sound pretty similar. We'll have more information and photos when the car is fully revealed at the 2018 Detroit Auto Show.

Nissan's dismal 2019: Where does Japan's struggling brand go from here?
Wed, Jan 8 2020Auto sales have gradually slowed from their peak during the boom years that followed the global recession, but Nissan's rapid decline stood out even in a year when few high-volume manufacturers had much to be excited about. Of the "Japanese 3," Nissan's 2019 performance was by far the most troubling. Through November, when the company last posted its global sales figures, its volumes were down 8 percent compared to 2019. Here in the United States, its full-year numbers were down 9.9% in an industry that slid just a hair more than 2 percent overall. Meanwhile, Honda managed a slight increase in U.S. sales (0.2%) and Toyota, much like the industry in general, finished the year down approximately 2%. Like Nissan, Honda and Toyota have remained committed to cars — including compact and midsize sedans — and have a comprehensive portfolio of offerings in the key SUV and crossover segments.  On paper, Nissan's lineup checks all the right boxes. From the subcompact Kicks up to the Armada, it has something for sale in virtually every possible nook and cranny of the people-mover segment, but almost all of these trucks (and trucklets) took a beating in 2019. Only the baby Kicks managed to improve on its 2018 sales, which isn't saying a whole lot, considering it was barely sold in 2018 to begin with. In fact, the bonus volume contributed by Kicks helps obscure just how poorly some of Nissan's key offerings performed last year. Combined Rogue and Rogue Sport sales slid 15%; Murano was down more than 18%; the Pathfinder and Armada managed to pace the general industry, dropping 2.8 and 1.9%, respectively, but the astute reader will note at this point that we've yet to single out any bright spots. The news was even worse on the truck side. Frontier was down 9.1%. Titan? Down 37.5%. Crossovers and SUVs are selling. Trucks, even from import brands, are also selling. Toyota's mid-size Tacoma was up in 2019; both it and the full-size Tundra still more than tripled the volume of their Nissan competitors. Further muddying the waters, Honda managed its year-over-year volume increase without selling a full-sized pickup at all. What, then, is Nissan's problem? To borrow an oft-used phrase, "It's the product, stupid." The most striking evidence of this issue is the Rogue, which competes in the compact crossover segment — a collection of vehicles that essentially sell themselves.
Infiniti teases November debut of new QX55 crossover-coupe
Wed, Aug 5 2020Infiniti will officially unveil its new QX55 crossover-coupe via social media on Nov. 11, Nissan's luxury subsidiary announced early Wednesday. Infiniti is calling it a return to the segment which the company helped pioneer when it launched the FX crossover back in 2002. "With a roofline and visual elements inspired by the iconic Infiniti FX, the QX55’s provocative design will fuse the stance and versatility of a premium midsize crossover with the sleek profile of a sports coupe," Infiniti's announcement said. "Beyond its provocative looks, the QX55 will also feature innovative technologies designed to empower, engage and connect luxury customers to the road ahead." The announcement was accompanied by the above teaser image, which depicts the QX55's tapered liftgate. It's quite a bit more conservative than the previously released design sketch suggested, but certainly looks the part. The QX55 is one of five new vehicles Infiniti plans to launch in the next three years. It was first teased last August during Monterey Car Week. While Infiniti has been leaning heavily on the heritage of the original FX (which later became the QX70) since releasing that first design sketch, the QX55 will actually have little in common with its spiritual ancestor. While they may share fastback SUV looks, the QX55 will be based on the QX50 — a modern, front-wheel-drive crossover with small, efficient engines. The FX was derived from Infiniti's sport sedans and coupes, and even boasted a V8 option for much of its existence. Production of the new crossover-coupe was slated to begin in June, but was reportedly pushed back due to complications at its production facility in Aguascalientes, Mexico. The facility is a joint-venture project between Mercedes-Benz parent company Daimler and Nissan, and produces several other front- and all-wheel-drive vehicles for both companies. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
