Great deal! Fairly inexpensive repairs needed.

This has been a great car. Plenty of room and interior is in good condition considering the age of the vehicle. I only had liability coverage at time of accident, so I have been doing repairs slowly. I am moving and will not have the extra parking space. This was a secondary vehicle. Minor repairs are still needed, so I will take $700 OBO. Feel free to come by and inspect it. I have another hood and radio for it that I want to give to buyer. Replaced battery 2 weeks ago. 2 year warranty, will give receipt to buyer. The starter acts up once in a while, so that will need to be addressed, too. It has been sitting for over a year. I let it run and take it short distances about once a week. RF tie rod end needs to be replaced, pulls. It still needs minor repairs, that's why I am selling so cheap.

Best luxury car I've owned

I just "sold" my 1997 Infiniti Q45t. I have owned 3 Cadillacs and 11 Mercedes over the past 45 years. I am an engineer and am very analytical. The Q45t has been the best engineered car, both mechanically and interior design (driver friendly). The sound system is second to none. I owned the car since new and put 160,000 miles on it. I passed it on to my brother without hesitation. Dealer service has been excellent (they are the only ones that worked on the car). I only hope the Lexus I bought will be as reliable and trouble free.

Excellent car

Bought my Q45 when it was 3 yrs old and I run through used cars every 5 years or so, but my Q is over 13 yrs old and still running great. Not a single major problem, just the usual maintenance. Smooth and powerful ride.

Great value

This is the greatest used car value in the luxury class. Japanese reliability is a real plus. Styling is very bland, but has excellent power and ride.
