Infiniti Q45t Touring Black On Black Gorgeous Low Miles It's Only Original Once on 2040-cars

PRESENCE POWER PERFORMANCE PROVENANCE PRESTIGE PRESENCE: This is a car that people notice. Most don't know what it is, but they can't help staring and admiring. Most think it is much newer than it is. Those in the know start drooling and babbling that they haven't seen one this nice in many years. Up for auction is my fantastic 1994 Infiniti Q45t. If you are familiar with this car, you can skip to the next paragraph. When Infiniti first built the Q45, they had BMW squarely in their sights. They were out to build a car of the highest quality, fit and finish, and performance. They certainly succeeded in creating an overbuilt car that cost Nissan more money than they ever made on this model. And they were not cheap, either. This car comes with the original window sticker which shows a MSRP of $51,325. The beauty of a car like this is that with proper care it can last for decades and hundreds of thousands of miles. And when some part is wearing out, it does so with "graceful degradation", meaning that there tends to be warning signs of failure rather than anything sudden happening. The Q45 is capable of top speeds in excess of 155 MPH, and with an ECU modification it can do 170+. Just in case you have access to that kind of road! This is also a Touring model, which came with Super Hicas 4 wheel steering, trunk spoiler and BBS wheels. The BBS wheels are long gone. When the previous owner bought the car from an Infiniti dealer in 1996, he had them trade for a set of chromed turbine wheels. Go figure. Well I sold them so they are gone too. This is the only non original thing on the car. The car is in incredible shape for being 20 years old. I bought the car last November. I was looking for something else entirely at the time but when I saw it, I had to have it. You see, years ago I owned a black on black 1993 Q45 that I loved dearly. I had that car for 7 years and when I finally sold it (I was traveling the country in my RV and didn't want it to sit), it had 222k miles on it. A friend's teenage daughter managed to get another 2 years out of the car despite poor maintenance. Needless to say, I was sold when I saw this car. It is way nicer than my other car ever was. Well, after searching for eight months, I finally found the car I was originally looking for. I can't keep both so my sweet Q45 is now for sale. The previous owner garaged it when not driving and did regular maintenance. The paint is completely original and still has a great shine. The interior looks nearly new. The leather seats are in amazing condition. There's no cracks, tears, split seams or excessive wear anywhere. Never smoked in, there are no funny smells, only the aroma of rich leather. To help preserve the seats' condition, I soaked them with mink oil for 3 days. Nobody's old french fries under these seats! The car drives like a Q45 should and you would be hard pressed to find another one this nice anywhere. Since I got it, I have fully serviced the car including oil and filter, air filter, fuel filter, transmission filter service and complete fluid replacement. New wiper blades, clean washer fluid. I did find some oil seepage coming from between the oil filter mounting base and the block. It's not enough to notice any drop on the dipstick so I haven't bothered to fix it. It's not burning any oil either as I haven't added a drop of oil since the last oil change 2000 miles ago and it's still full. I wanted to bring the looks and handling into the 21st century, so I put a new set of 18x8 OEM wheels, not from Infiniti but they sure look it. I will only tell the buyer what they came from as I studied hard to put the package together, and I like the fact that I haven't seen another Q45 with this combo. Combined with the new Sumitomo HTR-ZIII 245/40/18XL tires, the look and handling of this Q45 has been transformed and updated. Tires have around 2k on them. The car drives like a nearly new car. It is quite fast and moves with authority ( watch the video below!). Everything feels smooth and tight. The cockpit is whisper quiet even at extralegal speeds, save for the ferocious roar of the 4 cam V8 when you step on it. Mechanically, the car is fully functional and needs nothing. Ac and heat work great. Windows, locks, sunroof, mirrors, seats, cruise control are all working. All interior and exterior lighting works except for the trunk light. Bose stereo works great through the front speakers. Both rear speaker amps were making noise so they have been disconnected. Power antenna works great, CD changer does not. If this is significant for you, I might have a line on one for $25. The trim at the base of the driver's seat is cracked. Driver's headrest doesn't move. There are some door dings that would be removable by paintless dent removal. There are typical rock chips on the front of the hood, small scratches like you might expect to see on a black car that is a few years old. The rear bumper has a flex crack on the right corner. Looks exactly like it did when I got it, so I don't think it will peel. The front bumper has a couple of light, hard to see impressions that did not crack the paint, plus a few small chips. Some careful touch up on the chips and they would all but disappear. I decided to let it be. In my opinion, the car is near show quality and would score high for originality. It's just hard to believe it is 20 years old! Included is the owner's manual, all the original keys (2 large medallion keys, 2 smaller keys and a flat wallet key), and 2 keyless remotes. Although I don't think it came with a '94, I am including a cool Infiniti key case that a friend gave me. Also included are some parts that I picked up reasonably since I got the car. The winner will get an excellent used transmission pulled from a clean wreck with 93k miles. I got a deal I couldn't refuse so I figured I would have a spare. Same with a spare cam angle sensor. Also a set of very rare Eibach performance springs mounted to Tokico blue shocks. The rear shocks are in good shape. The fronts have some damage to the mounting and perch, plus they are for 90-93, so I wouldn't use them. I was going to put the springs on to lower the car mainly for looks but in time I decided I like way it looks, as well as the ride quality. I also have a new rack boot that I didn't get around to putting on. The left side is torn but there are no leaks. This might just be the nicest original Q45 for sale anywhere. All in all, it's a freakin' fantastic car. I would not hesitate to get in this car and drive it to Key West RIGHT NOW! Drive, collect, show. Export it to Japan, you would probably make a killing as they never had these. It's your choice. I can send a copy of the clean Autocheck report if desired. There is a modest reserve, certainly low for a car of this quality. Requests for the reserve will be ignored, please just bid what you are willing to pay. Please review my feedback, I have sold many vehicles on ebay with no complaints. Don't let it get away because you know the old saying "It's only original once!"

The car passed smog the last time it was done on 11/19/13 but it will need to be brought current to register. I am selling the car as is, and any registration and/or smog costs will be at buyer's expense. But to encourage California bidders, if you are registering the car in CA I will deduct $100 from your winning bid to help cover these costs.

Balance to be paid by cash in person, bank transfer or verifiable cashier's check. Full payment required within 7 days. Title and vehicle will be released when payment clears.

Infiniti QX80 Monograph: Not just luxury, 'upscale luxury'
Wed, Apr 12 2017We've been getting a slow rollout of news about the new Infiniti QX80 Monograph mega-SUV for the past week or two, and Infiniti provided more details Tuesday about its concept car at the New York Auto Show, saying the mega-SUV is a combination of "luxury with a commanding presence" and "the ultimate expression of futuristic luxury SUV design." Infiniti says the car embodies, not just luxury, but "upscale luxury." The company says the concept's design language incorporates a mix of geometric and organic shapes, including character lines and aluminum trim that were actually intended to make the big SUV appear even bigger than it actually is, which is more than five meters long, so perhaps 17 feet, more than 6 feet wide and about 6 feet tall. The most striking features are the headlamps, which become long, slender lines that wrap around the front corners, then taper into light bars that end at the doors in sculptured rear-view cameras in lieu of side mirrors. The car also has large, functional fender vents to divert air to the engine, and despite all that luxury it is still SUV enough to have an underbody cover protecting the underside - and improving aerodynamics. Likewise, an aerofoil between the tailpipes is said to improve airflow in the SUV's wake. It's a big, beautiful rig.

Infiniti QX Sport Inspiration Concept fits perfectly in the QX50's shoes
Mon, Apr 25 2016If there was any doubt about whether the Infiniti QX Sport Inspiration Concept is a preview of the next QX50, the official details presented at the 2016 Beijing Motor Show should erase them. The concept is smaller – a lot smaller – than the last QX70. And despite a recent update to the QX50, the brand's midsize crossover is due for a new model. We're basing that statement on dimensions. The QX Sport Inspiration Concept rides on a 110.2-inch wheelbase, and is 181.1 inches long, 74.8 inches wide, and 65 inches high. The last QX50, meanwhile, rides on a 113.4-inch wheelbase, and is 186.8 inches long, 71.0 inches wide, and 62.7 inches high. Ignore the different lengths – the concept's front and rear overhangs are remarkably short and aren't likely to translate to production – but the wheelbase, width, and most importantly the height, present a footprint that's remarkably similar to the QX50. Combine that with our assessment of the QX Sport Inspiration Concept's styling, and it's a virtual certainty that we're looking at the QX50's successor. As we said yesterday, the high beltline, tight greenhouse, long hood, and aggressive headlights are all trademarks of both the QX50 and QX70. Infiniti didn't say what kind of engine is under this concept car's hood (if there even is one – it might just be an engineless shell), but we're almost certain it's something performance-oriented. That would prove true if and when a new production QX50 is unleashed. We're betting the company will opt for the increasingly familiar setup of the new 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged V6, a seven-speed automatic transmission, and all-wheel drive, like what you can get on the Q50 Red Sport 400 and new Q60. With 300- and 400-horsepower versions of this engine available, it could signal an introduction of a two-tier QX50 lineup. We're getting ahead of ourselves, of course. The QX Sport is still only a concept, but Infiniti's latest information dump at the 2016 Beijing Motor Show serves as even stronger evidence that its CUV lineup will grow back to four vehicles sooner rather than later.

Infiniti confirms all-new sports sedan will debut in Detroit
Wed, 28 Nov 2012While the automotive world may currently be focused on the Los Angeles Auto Show, those looking to stay ahead of the curve have their sights set farther down the road. One such automaker is Infiniti. On the first of the LA press days, the Japanese luxury brand has announced an all-new model to debut in Detroit this January.
According to Infiniti, an all-new model will be unveiled at the 2013 North American International Auto show. The debut will be accompanied by a performance from world renowned Cirque Du Soleil as well as a live stream simulcast of the event.
It's unclear whether Infiniti will be showing a redesign of the G sedan, which has been spotted testing, or a new sub-G compact performance-luxury four-door. We will know for sure on January 14 when we bring you news form the Infiniti stand.
