It was about 5 years ago....
I had just finished some active duty time and came to Minneapolis from Fort Sill.My life savings burning a hole into my pocket ($11,000).So I wanted to buy a nice car REAL BAD>
I had heard of Q45's before and remember really liking them, but I was really set on finding a Millenia maybe even a hi mile Millenia S.
So this is what I sent out to find...But I was open to other cars as well, and went to a dealer who has a lot of higher mile but kinda recent imports.I had bought from him before.
I walked onto the lot my pocketrs full of cash.And then I saw it!!!!
An Ivory pearl quartz 1992 Infiniti Q45.It was just standing there,completely confident in it its angelic presence.It actually KNEW it was beautiful, I could tell.It had a soul, all Infiniti's do...The sun shining on its flawless paint,.. the tiny pearlescent flakes twinkling.I opened the door with almost religious reverence, as the smell of its soft leather wafted out into the open...when I sat down into it, surrounded by its classy cocoon like interior, it was like a relevation.I <knew> then that this was my car.Starting up the engine listening to it purr, testdriving it, was an almost religious experience.:angel
After gently patting its hood, I went to haggle for it, luckily the salesman didnt rape me too badly, he could have, I would have paid ANYTHING ( I paid $8500).
This car was meant for me and I for it.When I took it home, I was almost in a trance driving it the greenishlky backlit gauges dancing before my eyes as I drove, ( I had slept about 2 hours the previous night).
The next day in the morning I just sat in it , opened all the doors, touched the sahara beige leather, cleaned the engine bay and checked the oil about 6 times.
It was the nicest car I had ever owned....even nicer than the brand new Paassat GLX I had bought new just a few years earlier.
