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!

I actually bought the car in 1997. It was 2 years old with 36 K miles. It was my best driving experience. The car has an inidividual presence, is very roomy inside, has comfortable seats, and quite a pick-up without a kick-down. Customer service is excellent, though not exactly cheap.

I have owned several luxury automobiles over the years and the Q45 is one of the most beautiful of them all. Only the Jaguar line comes even close. This car has been an absolute joy to drive and own.
GREAT CAR

Unique styling sets it apart. Met all my expectations. Trouble free and reliable. Excellent ride with good handling. Best audio system of all my cars. Only trouble I have encountered is the low profile tires are fragile (my fault for hitting curbs) and the speedometer accuracy which I expect was the result of the tires used for this edition.
