Used 1999 INFINITI Q45 Consumer Reviews
Awesome Ride
Bought this private owner. I was worried about the V8s gas mileage but not bad if you keep your foot off the floor. Most comfortable vehicle I have ever driven or rode in. I am in sales and LOVE to take clients in this awesome ride!
Its 2024 and the 1999 is still going
Its 2024 and the 1999 is still going at 95k. This model was Infinitis answer to the Lexus LS400. Bought this in 2012 with 40k with the green pearl factory paint that still shines like showroom new. I removed the 17inch factory wheels and installed Infiniti FX 18inch wheels that I had powder coated. I run Michelin's and it is a beautiful ride still to this day. Soon it will be time for replacing struts and shocks and I don't know yet what I am going to do. I am still driving this car as a daily grocery cart. While the ride is smooth the car weighs in near 4400lbs. Gas is and has always been marginal with the V8 but it still gets up and goes. Many reviews say it is comfortable but I will say I have one issue with this car. The seats are not meant for tall people. Other than that the car is well appointed and a ride almost as good as my Lincoln. I have replaced many regular parts and hard parts such at radiator, valve cover gaskets, injectors, rotors, O2 sensors, arm rests, rack, door card after the tint tech damaged passenger side, and interior work by my interior tech. Interior still looks new. Has it been easy on maintenance? Yes and No - I have had the expensive repairs and normal repairs. The car keeps going and so does the factory paint. The trunk lid got damaged at the fiberglass area license plate area and I had to replace the entire trunk lid with a 2001. My body guy did a perfect job on the forest green pearl and entire paint still shines. No rust on the car and it's over 25 years old. Been through a lot of batteries and regular parts but like I said, I enjoy driving the car still to this day. My wife is pushing for a new SUV and is tired of the Q now so shopping for a vehicle in 2024 is a real challenge. I am keeping the Q and getting a 2nd car. At 25 yeas old, the Q45 is more of a project car now and I intend on keeping it going and repairing it. This is a survivor and one of the last of the great Nissan/Infiniti icons. Update: Still running the q45 with 97k - the gas line got to brittle and had to be replaced. Injectors still going ok - Does not use any oil!

1999 Q45t
Fell in love at first site. However I was not prepared for the excessive road noise, Loud cooling fan motor for the radiator,and the so called excessive road force variation (Dealer comments)thus causing the car to have 3 sets of tires before it had 6,000 miles. After contacting the factory and making numerous trips back and forth I gave up.I call it the webble mobile, as in they wobble. This is my first and last Infiniti, at just over $48,000 it was not the luxury car I dreamed of. hoping for.
Well done Infiniti
No problems whatsoever. I am only disappointed in its value after only three years.
Best used car buy for qual/ride/perf
