Dayum, I really like that car, I guess I really like 94-95's anyway.

Pompano is like 3 hrs away....

Is that white white or pearl white?

What's IPQ?

Anyone wanna buy a 91?

If anyone is really interested, I live in Miami and Pompano is just 45 North of me. Just let me know and I'll take it to a mechanic for inspection or I can just go and visually inspect it.

Heavy...we have got to meet up sometime being that we are so close. I plan on giving Miss Snow White a visit this summer and will look you up before I go.

Geez...if the maintenance report is clean, some NICO member needs to look into this one.

The body looks great.

Bumpers are clean.

Engine was greased-up, so it is hard to tell anything.

The driver's seat and armrest are REALLY worn, for just 48,000 miles.

Mine look better, at 187,000 miles, and it is 24months older!

I may bid, if no other NICO member wants it. I won't pay $8,650.00, though!

FWIW, and I'll be the bad guy here...

There are ways to "wash" titles in FL and TX, and with some great skill even NJ. Ever notice how all the great deals on ebay cars are being sold from FL & TX?

<sorry, for being the bad guy>

Be sure to do that! We have a few members here from FLAUSA ;) that should plan a meet one weekend.

If you're in the area, I'd be interested in hearing what you think of that 95 in person.

Nice! Low miles. Too bad it's white. I've never been a fan of white cars except for the BMW 635 that Hawk use to drive in Spenser for Hire. No TCS so this one is for our NICO freinds in the snow free parts of the country.

I'm going to be a little skeptical here too. The interior looks awefully worn (missing foot pad near e-brake, volume knob, seat) for that mileage. Without service records I would be very cautious. The odometer is very easy to roll back on these cars.

P.S. IPQ = Ivory Pearl Quartz (I think)

I dont see any wear on the center console.The e brake thing popped off too on my 94 at 83k.Florida (old PPL)+ TX ( big state thats very car oriented) are states where a lot of nice cars reside, BUT even given all of the above, Rex has good points and the genral trend of his suspicions is correct IMO.

I especially believe the worn carpet at the footrest is almost impossible to explain with 48k miles, unless the previous owner was 250 lbs and prone to wearing jackboots.

Yeah, it's probably 48,000 miles since it spent a week, submerged in the Ocean, then got a new paintjob.

I typically don't go above 50% of trade-in valvue, for cars on eBay.

Hmm...Maybe that is why I have only bought 1 car off of eBay.

All good points - I like the fact that AZ is one of the states where it is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to clean a title. So if you buy an AZ car, you're sure to get the real deal.

p.s. That one is IPQ (ivory pearl quartz) not white (which I believe Infiniti only had in 90-93, and it was called Cotton White).

Relax, the previous owner spent the money he saved by buying those swell Cooper Lifeliners (50% tread left!) to do extra maintenance.

Good thing my 94 Q45t came from Arizona then, probably the best $4500 I ever spent.

Mine's pearl white too, can't say I'm crazy about the color. Thinking about doing a newer red metallic, which will go with the brown interior.

I would call the national infiniti number , give them the the car's number..and have them run it...

If by any chance it was dealer maintained..then you would be good to go.... plus inifniniti will track it by date and by mileage..so you can see if there are any issues...

only way to go...

Rex is absolutely right about washing a salvage title in Florida. And check the dealers feedback. Pretty shabby.

Awww, come on, it wasn't *that* bad.

I paid $1000 for my 91, I may have been born last night, but it was early.
