90-93Q or 94-96Q

[96Qowner]

Yeah, skip the 96 - it's a de-tuned orphan with less horsepower (no variable valve timing). Nothing really positive about it except perhaps greater reliability.

Have you talked to Q45Caliber lately? I see he didn't get his reserve price.

[Q45tech]

Sellers don't want to hear from educated buyers they are hoping to slip one by the buyer............but then again a $50,000 car has already depreciated a lot at $4,000. Plus $4,000 today is like $3,000 in 1994 dollars.

Many times what you have even if it requires $4,000 [or $6,000 or $8,000] to fix up may be better than many used cars offered for sale because they will need the same amounts just in different areas.

What ever you pay for a used car you are just buying the opportunity to spend double [or worse] the purchase price soon [if you have to pay someone to do the work].

yeah.... i think he sold it for 5 grandto someone in the area

[Romeo5k]

well as of today i got 2 grand saved. One more month to go. Still looking for 94-95.. if i can get a good deal.Peterofdevon: I still got u in mind.. How about some pics.. Anyone else .. lemme know 94-95.. Oh please, 96Qowner has advised to not get a (a) because im young and maybe to lazy to maintain some active thingys.. and i believe em. So no (a) pls.

[Peterofdevon]

I am very close to selling the dk. blue 94. I have to get the green one back first. Its getting a total rebuild/refurb and is almost done.

The 94 blue one has as follows:$3,900 oct 05 purchase, 125K$700 strut rods/upper links$750 drive shaft$400 new tires$450 transmission and engine mounts$450 OEM rear rotors/pads$1,700 injector replace/injector-rail flush and OEM front rotors/pads (this was two weeks ago)

Lots of money in it. It only needs valve cover gaskets. The interior is near perfect. The paint is shinny with normal wear.

I'd like to get close to 6K for it.

There are no surprises. It runs like a swiss watch and is beautiful.

That sounds pretty nice. Only under plenum hoses, maybe KS and harness, some suspension rack rubber in the near future? Check rear subframe bushings and that is about as certain as an informed buyer can be.

Like Q45tech said, about $8K ($6K for car, with at least $2K in reserve) for starters, and what else could you own in that condition with a G50's capabilities?

[Romeo5k]

dam correction.... i actually got 3500$ saved.. I thought i had 2 grand..> im trying to save sommo for another 2 weeks more. ****And i dont think ill be able to come up off 6grand immediately for another one. Knowing im going to be spending another 3-4 grand on it.. Thats too high. Got a hold to some person said taht their selling 95 with 112k miles and shes driving it everyday and gonna sell for 2800. Sure i can take it down to 2500. Hopefully they take that.

...and actually have it work!

[Romeo5k]

ok ppl.. it has come to my intellegence that i officially suck. So im about to say this.. Im llooking for a 94-95 Q that has been treated right and not moded. Because everyone that has one moded has came at me with approx. 9grand or 8grand. Which is abosolutely out of my budget and i wont be able to work something out. But i figure someone who has taken care of theirs and its a regular car, then thats what i want. I might even take one thats been treated a lil ruff for the right price. Im not as rich as some of yall on here so i cant afford 9 grand. Otherwise i think id actually buy a 95 from the dealer for 6.5 grand with 85k miles. <-- which im still debatig on. I might go into notes just for that thing. Otherwise i might end up putting a new engine in my 93 since all the other mechanical stuff is new. Oh welll.. jsut thought i would share my broke story wit yall.. So no one feels offended when i ask the price and walk right away rspectfully

In all honesty, it would make the most sense to buy a 90-93 with updated chain guides, as you'll then have an entire parts car for everything other than internal motor parts.

you'd rather that than replacing the engine with a JDM for 3500$?

I saw this... and im actually thinking about getting on notes with this car. Is it worth it?http://autos.yahoo.com/usedcar...76203Could someone check on that Vin for moi pls. [email protected]

[Romeo5k]

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/...t=229im going to get this car today... should i get it or not ppl... yes or no i have not bought it yet.

[elwesso]

looks clean, but so did that hooker

Its hard to evaluate a car just by looking at those ads, we have no idea about maintenance or anything... but just by looking at the pics, it looks a little overpriced for the miles...4 grand might be a better deal.

[Romeo5k]

he agreed $3850. Is that good?? and i pulled car fax.... Im gonna try to upload an img of the carfax on here.. hopefully yall can open it with office. Or FF

A lot of miles, so you better have a big parts kitty for the transmission and whatever else will need attention soon.

Like Wes, says, CarFax is a start, but what you really need in the Infiniti dealer performed service history. I don't like black in TX, but I would negotiate the other one down.

i got it down to $3850.. thats still too high?

[Q45denver]

Expect to pay about $1000 more when buying from dealer vs. private party. Expect to pay $500 more for a "t" model. Have the seller pull the service history. That would give you a better idea of the value. You'll need to get the glass tinted if you get the black one.

[Romeo5k]

im getting the white one for 3850. Black one has been in an accident from what Carfax stated. So adios to that one.

[Rex]

FWIW, I'm not too trusting on CarFAx reports regarding cars that have ever been titled in TX or FL. There's ways to wash the titles. I dug up some excerpts from the FL Motor Vehicles site that walked through how to get a wrecked car re-titled "clean".

Good luck, and at least give the fluids a good going over ... and whatever the outcome, look dissappointed in their color/smell.

Good call on the CarFax. But Don't be afaraid to walk away form the other one also.

If no ATF cooler, no history of flushes, then plan on AT and PS being abused and in need of replacement soon.

[Jesda]

My former Maxima's title was washed by accident. I found it hilarious.

[Romeo5k]

car bought..... ill ost pics tomorro.. I just got back from a 10hr drive. Too tired to think right now.

Congratulations!!!

Great to hear it, Romeo!
