Best birthday everr

Ok I received this car as a birthday gift from my grandmother yesterday and ever since then I've been driving it and it is amazing. In my opinion, it is the perfect car for me because I am a very social person and I can fit four of my friends in the car with me. The Bose sound system is definitely what I needed, seeing as I love my music loud and heavy. Well anyone else who has this car knows what I mean when i say this is definitely worth all the money for this car, whether it be the gas money, insurance, or even to buy it.

This is the second Infiniti J-30 I have owned. When the first lease was up in 1996 after three years there was not another car to compare to this one. The car literally sold itself. I was looking at the early Lexus in 1993 when I found the Infiniti J-30 and have never had a car I've enjoyed so much.

I don't really think there are many of these cars out there to buy, I looked on Craigs list for Phoenix and there wasn't one to be had. I bought this one in May of 2000, it was 4 years old and had 66k miles on it. We spend 4 months a year in MI so this car was purchased to be used these 4 months each year, which means we only put about 3 thousand miles per Summer, the other 7 it was tucked away in a barn to wait out the Winter. In the now 18 years that we have had it, I have put on two sets of tires, the first set had plenty of tread but died of age, two batteries, and just this Summer, 2018, a new set of brakes. It has amazed me how well the car still runs. Still surprised each May when we go to pick it up and it fires up immediately. This particular vehicle was built in Japan, and the fit and finish was something to see. The infinity was Nissan's run at Lexus, they never attained that level but it still is a wonderful car to drive. The quality of the parts and the build speak for themselves 22 years later. Sadly we say goodbye to it, as this will be our last Summer in Mi. As a side note, about 8 years ago we bought a 99 Q45, nice car, but the quality of that car fell a short of this little J30. Update 8/4/19 We sold the J30 this Summers with 123000 miles on it, It has been a great car. We sold it because we no longer had use for it, It is still going strong, ride is very comfortable. Too bad Nissan is have ing such a poroblem with their CVT transmission,or I would be looking for another Infinity. or possibly a Nissan. I have a Nissan Frontier, but with a manual 6 speed tranny.
