My 240 and New Daily Driver (q45!)

[StandardProspect]

Hey everybody, i don't post pictures very often. Mostly cause i don't have much to look at, but I decided to make a thread because I just bought a new to me car on Monday.

Its a 1998 Infniti Q45. (I took Brian Harte's advice in the daily driver thread, lol)I found it on Craigslist last week in Milwaukee, went to look at it and fell in love Its had two previous owners and is in pretty good shape. Does have a few scrapes and dents, also a cracked bumper and fog light, but I'm going to school for collision repair so I'll take care of it. Its got 180,000 miles, but its been taken good care of. The interior is spotless. Clean title and Carfax. I couldn't pass it up. I offered dude $2700 and he accepted.

Pic of car at dealership (sorry for crappy Iphone pics everyone, I'll try to get better ones up soon)



I washed her up and took some pics next to the forty.













I love the interior This car is so nice, I'm really glad i didn't buy another 240, ha.Don't get me wrong though, i love 240's. The s13 gets the garage spot and the y33 sits outside

The 240 isn't much to look at, but someday it will be. I'm working on the interior first. All the stock tweed is gone! hooray! Bucket seat and Nardi wheel are on the list. And i really wish teh checkered floormats i ordered would come Other than that the 240 is stock. Chuki sides, Mishimoto radiator, and coilovers. Stock ka24de. 180 valances and Kouki 180 front bumper next. Then wheels and paint. Keeping it black of course.







The Q will stay stock for now, eventually becoming my VIP project once my 240 is to my liking (probably never). I want to spend my money only on maintenance for the Q right now. I want it to be reliable, which it already is.There wont be a build thread for my s13 because sometimes I loose interest in that car for months at a time. Ill never sell it though

All comments appreciatedThanks for looking guys

Nice dude. Both of those are really clean, especially the hatch as far as 240s go.

Good deal on the Q too. Interior looks great for its age.

nice Q and S

[StandardProspect]

Thanks guys!

Yeah, I couldn't believe the condition of the interior. It looks new.And I'm so glad i got a silver one with black interior. I wanted to hold out for a black one, but this is just awesome

That Q for under 3k? Niiiiiice! I bet it floats down the road compared the 240.

D amn great find. For having 180,000 miles on it the infiniti looks flawless.

Nice rides! Q45's = Deluxe!

[StandardProspect]

breadbox- it's soooo smooth, night and day difference between the Q with stock suspension and the 240 with coils.

Thanks for the comments everyone, keep em coming!

Thanks man! This is the first nice car I have owned. Its the best daily ever. Compared to the other economy cars ive had (240, corolla, pulsar) this is a major upgrade.

Yeah we should have a little 240 meet with some of the local guys or something. I just really wanna see the 2j

2700 for that Q?

AWESOME.

I want one too...

Thanks man, yeah I couldnt pass it up. I was looking for a Nissan Pathfinder for about a month. The Q popped up on Craigslist for 3k and i bought it the next day with $2700 cash.

I relocated it to underneath the dash where the a/c box thing normally goes. I really want to put it under the armrest though.
