1998 Infiniti Qx4 Base Sport Utility 4-door 3.3l on 2040-cars
|
Car is in good running and driving condition; can drive anywhere. I still use it every day so mileage might be a little different upon sale of vehicle. Has new parts including brand new alternator, spark plugs, wires, new distributor and new fuel filter. Battery is still good no problems. All lights are functional and in good working order including fog lights. Timing belt/water pump done about 30000 miles ago. Car is so quiet when it is running; there is no exhaust problems. Brakes are good for another 15000 miles. No cracks in the dash and the undercarriage is clean. Sunroof works good all power and also equipped with a luggage rack. The radio sounds great; has Bose system all speakers work good. The 4x4 works great even has locking differential. The transmission shifts as it should and leather seats have minimal wear. I just recently changed the oil and no leaks whatsoever from any of the fluids.
The temperature gauge just started not to work. It fluctuates a bit and does not work properly but car does not overheat at all. It is just problem with the gauge. Car squeaks a little when you first start it so it could use some new belts. The tires in the front are okay but the ones in the rear need replacing; also missing 2 center caps. The chrome on the wheels could use some restoration but there are no bends or cracks on the wheels themselves. Needs shocks all around Definately as the car shakes a little at highway speeds. The check engine light is on. I am not sure what it is. It is coming up as a P0300 which means random misfire. I have done everything to try to fx it but I give up. The car stumbles a little when cold. A/C does not work at all. I have pulled the belt off the compressor pulley because it kept getting off track. The compressor is no good. The body has various scratches and dents and the door lower trim pieces have been removed as they rusted out. There is a nickel sized dent on passenger door and damaged paint on rear right side of bumper . The front bumper is damaged so that needs work too. Upper part of windsheild drivers side has a crack in it but it does not seem to be spreading.
Car comes complete with owners manual and service manual on a cd if you want to work on it yourself. If buy it now price is met, vehicle can be shipped free of charge to anywhere within 100 miles of location(Stamford CT). |

Popular Science magazine's Best Of What's New 2012 all ate up with cars
Tue, 20 Nov 2012Popular Science has named the winners in its Best of What's New awards, the victors coming in the categories of aerospace, automotive, engineering, entertainment, gadgets, green, hardware, health, home, recreation, security and software. The automotive category did not go wanting for lauded advancements:
Tesla Model S: the Grand Award winner for being "the standard by which all future electric vehicles will be measured."
BMW 328i: it's 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gets called out for being more powerful and frugal than the six-cylinder it replaces.
2014 Infiniti Q50's novel drive-by-wire steering system recalled
Mon, 16 Dec 2013The gradual replacement of mechanical components in automobiles with electronic systems brings with it definite advantages, but also poses certain potential dangers. Just think of the inevitable problems you've encountered with the computer on which you're reading these words and you'll know what we mean. But a computer crashing isn't as problematic as your car going on the fritz when its electronic systems fail.
That's what Infiniti is being reminded of with its new drive-by-wire electronic steering system. The Japanese automaker developed and installed the Direct Adaptive Steering System in its new Q50 sedan, but a small number of those cars on the road are now being recalled due to that system.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, on a small number of examples, the Q50's optional by-wire system may fail if the temperature in the engine compartment drops below freezing. There's a backup mechanical setup in place should the electronic system fail, but NHTSA says that the backup system may also fail to engage in time to avoid a crash.
Infiniti aims to "de-Americanize" lineup, add flagship
Thu, 19 Sep 2013Nissan launched Infiniti back in 1989 as a US brand, but more recently, Nissan's luxury marque has started focusing on more of a global presence. With a new global headquarters set up in Hong Kong and former Audi bigwig Johan de Nysschen at the helm, Wards Auto is reporting that the automaker's next goal is to create a "de-Americanized" lineup of vehicles.
This plan essentially consists of smaller cars and smaller-displacement engines to make Infiniti more attractive for buyers in Europe and Asia - two regions that tend to skew more toward smaller vehicles and smaller powerplants. To this point, Infiniti has been focused on vehicles better-suited to the US market - in fact, its smallest engine is a 3.7-liter V6 with 330 horsepower, and it doesn't offer a single diesel.
The first step in this transformation will be part of the Daimler-Nissan engine deal that will see a four-cylinder diesel eventually used in the 2014 Q50, but the report also reconfirms the importance of the soon-to-arrive Q30 production model (a concept of which was revealed last week in Frankfurt), along with the idea of a QX30 based on the Nissan Qashqai. There's also the latest projection of a full-electric Infiniti model that Wards says will debut sometime around 2015. Of course, Infiniti isn't giving up on large cars entirely - the reports indicates that Infiniti is planning a fullsize flagship model - possibly named Q80 - to compete against German sedans like the Audi A8, BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
