Purchasing A 2002-2006 Q45

[SWLouisianaCreole]

I'm looking for a Q45 (2002-06). A lot of times when I finally find one (graphite interior, rear reclining seats and camera) the car is already sold. I was wondering if any Q45 owners are interested in selling?
Thanks

Does it have to be those years? There's a guy selling a '98 on this forum right now for only $700. It needs some work, it won't start, but if you're mechanically inclined, it might not be a big deal. 1991-q45-for-sale-seattle-t568938.html

I'm getting ready to put mine on Ebay. Not a Graphite interior, but 100% Mechanically and Electrically. Lived all its life in Florida - never seen salt.

Cast your net out with Autotrader, Cars.com and craigslist around the country. Look for cars in CA and FL as they usually are in the best condition. Since they are so few and far between you will need to look nationwide for sure to find something good.

The F50 Q's seem to be pretty solid, although not many seem to be enthusiasts like they are of older Q. Most of the issues with the F50 I would consider typical of ANY used car, but you do see the occasional electronic breakdown in the nav system.. The bummer with that is that unit controls everything.

None of the 2006 Q came with the premium package, so the rear reclining seats and audio/hvac controls are not available on 2006 models.

the laser cruise is an expensive fix when a pebble/rock/road debris breaks the glass sensor located low in front bumper area.

On ALL 2002-2006 years, random cars had engines that burned oil and had entire engines replaced,and many of those replacement engines also consumed oil........not a deal killer except many original owners were not the type to check oil levels in between oil changes,so many were operated several quarts low on oil for extended periods of time-not the greatest way to run any motor.

other common quality glitches were cracked exhaust manifolds,nav screen problems,early wheel bearing failure,burned out instrument control lighting,and premature wear to leather on drivers seat,cracked dash covers...there are a few others that I cant recall.Overall this series Q seems to be less "over built" than all previous generations.

good information. i am going down to look at a 2005 tomorrow. Private dealer, selling a one owner with 63,000 miles. Did the CarFax, side swipped in '07. Otherwise, mileage matches. Hopefully, the local infiniti dealer will do a thorough pre-purchase inspection ..
