2001 Infiniti QX4 - What's it worth?

[texasqx4]

I have a 2001(I think the early 2001) Infiniti QX4. I'd like to sell it and would like to know what it's worth in the condition it's in and if there is anyone on the forum who may have interest in it. I'm located in Austin, TX and I'm the original owner having purchased the QX4 in Austin, TX. It has always been garaged and owner maintained. It has not been regularly driven for the past 6 years. Engine runs but it has a misfilre that I've been unable and not had time to fully diagnose and fix. We replaced the QX4 with a new 2016 QX60.

Below is vehicle information. In addition, I have provided an MS OneDrive link with a full set of exterior / interior pictures and the original window sticker.

It looks good but the age, mileage, and work to be done, fixing the misfire issue, puts the dollar value price range at about $1000 to $2000. That's the Kelly Blue Book estimate for a private party sale.

It does look good, but are those current pictures? I don't see a broken air deflector or a tear in the drivers seat, but that may be deceptive photography.

Tough love time, it's a high mileage mechanics special with an assortment of stuff that doesn't work/is broken. Without knowing your local market, I'm guessing more like a thou. While a very capable 4WD truck, it's not one that lots of people want to either use for 4WD or hop up, maybe jacked up and look cool in. Which minimizes the off road appeal to many. And there's enough wrong with it that most who would want to use it as a commute truck wouldn't be interested because they would have to fix stuff.

You speak of what you do not know. Why don't you put your legend in your own mind ego aside. Rather than making fales assumptions and accusations why don't you ask about the discrepencies or missing information and give the poster the benefit of the doubt and opportunity to respond / correct. It obvious that your ego wouldn't let you do that.

Yes, the wind deflector was in one piece during my initial photo shoot and then I broke it a short time later. As for the driver seat I took pictures at the same time as the others as you cand see from the photo showing its condition but forgot to include it. So I mistakenly left out two photos but documented the issues in the text. How is that "deceptive photography"? The photos are now updated. Are you happy now?!

Also, your assessment of the desireabilty of the QX4 is not what I'm hearing from my potential buyers. I've had 30+ inquires in 2 weeks. They either have been looking for this model or remember themselves or a friend had one when they were growing up and desire one now. Most are NOT looking to buy it for a daily driver.

You're really out of touch, especially for Texas, as to the desireability of AWD / 4WD. People don't just buy AWD / 4WD to go off-road 4-Wheeling. They by AWD or 4WD for the safety it provides in wet / snow road conditions and increased control during normal driving which we have in Texas or a ski trip to Colorado. Additionally, they don't make small truck based SUV's anymore and thus the desireability of the QX4.

Here's some tough love back to you on your glass half empty value assessment (See attachments).

My local market, Austin, TX, the fastest growing city in the US, is on the high side of valuations as evidence by the volume of interest and offers of $2K or more I've already received. In fact you must be living under a rock if you not aware of the demand and increased value of used cars. I just had my dealer call me about my 2016 QX60 to see if I wanted to sell it to a potential buyer he had.

When I asked what it's worth I expect valuations as a seller not a buyer. The value you gave is a trade-in value not a private party value.

Below and attached are the real numbers provivde from the top 3 used valuation sources.

Kelly Blue Book "Fair" valuation range is $706-$2,293. You quoted low side, not even the average!, A "Good" evaluation is $921-$2,810. Both valuations are within range of my asking price and open to offers depending on whether you consider the condition fair or good.

Note: KB is ALWAYS the lowest valuation price of three major car valuation sources (KB, Edmunds, NADA) and does not include or low balls the original optional features which on this QX4 were worth $3,040 new. Even the paint was not given any additional value allowed with only an optionf "White" when it was a two-tone paint valued as a $500 option when new.

Edmunds Private Party "Rough" valuation is $2,472 and "Average" is $3,037. $3,040 options when new were only assessed a value of $16.

NADA "Low Retail" is $2,850. The only option assessed ws the Sun Roof @ $175.

How did this get personal? Nothing mentioned in reply warranted this response.

You asked for an opinion and I gave it to you. I questioned some things but didn't make statements. If you don't like the answer, too bad, don't ask.

Looks beautiful. Nice photos.

No digs or scratches. How can I make my 2003 QX4 look like that?

Best wishes.
