new owner of an 02 q45
I should be picking up the new wheels tomorrow. its an 02 with 55k and i got it for 16900. the car is really clean, rides well and has all the bells and whistles except for the navi and spoiler. do you guys think this is a good deal and is there any advice anyone can give me before i pick it up? any input will be appreciated. thanks. happy holidays.

Get the extended warranty from the dealer if possible.
Presume you have reviewed the Infiniti Dealer performed service history and directed the senior Infiniti technician who performed the pre-purchase inspection to areas where you may have a question. Main thing is to verify 3,750 OCI as abused VK45DE are known to burn oil.
Premium version has all the bells and whistles. Sounds like you have a standard, or if your back-up lights have a blue tint, the Sport version.

Welcome to NICO!
Just like Maxnix says get the extended warranty. The rear camera attached next to the rear plate is an indication if you have the premium package.
Enjoy your ride. Post some pics next time.

Welcome to NICO. We are getting more and more F50 (02-06 Q45) owners here. Make sure if you can get the extended warranty, if it already did from the past owners make sure the dealer don't charge you because it is transferable for free from infiniti. give Infiniti a call for the info.
Just my habit to change all my fluids when i get a car at least the transmission,engine and differential.

Welcome to the club.
I have a 02 premium package without nav and rear camera. If you have heated reclining rear seats with audio controls in the center console its premium.
Make sure to check the oil level every 1000 miles as these car comsume oil.
