Premium Package, including: dual-zone climate control with rear vents, an upgraded 225-watt Bose sound system, a sunroof, automatic headlights and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror. 
This car came with all of the available options. 

This is a fairly high mileage vehicle, with 139,000. However, it's been well-maintained, regular oil and service intervals have been kept. I kept mobile 1 synthetic in it until it hit 100,000 miles, and now Castrol high-milage synthetic blend. 

Condition and maintenance: 
The engine and transmission work as designed - no problems with shifting, no issues with the engine. 
Nothing under the hood is out of order or in need of replacement, although my A/C belt squeals sometimes because it was installed too tightly on the pulley, which could easily be adjusted. 
Brakes and rotors have been replaced within the past 7 months. 
Both front wheel hubs and bearings were replaced in August 2013 and are under warranty for 2 years. 
It needs new struts because one is leaking. I was told by a mechanic it wasn't of urgent importance to fix it ASAP because they aren't bad yet; however, but I bought the struts, just haven't put them on yet. They will come with the car free of charge. 

The first owner had the car from 2006-2011 I've had it since March 2011. 
I've made many trips over the past few years (long-distance relationship), also several trips to NYC and Virginia Beach, so many of the miles are highway miles, and I live in a rural area, so hardly any city driving. 

The car has been in NO real accidents, the only incident being when a truck backed into me at drifting speed, causing me to need a new front bumper cover. 
Airbags have never been deployed. 
The interior is in good shape. There is a small tear on the driver's-side seat. Also, the leather-covered center console somehow incurred a slight tear while it was being handled by a parking garage attendant in NYC, but it's hardly noticeable.  
Pictures of both of these defects are enclosed. 

The exterior is in good condition as well, although there are are a few defects - a small hole in the front bumper from a curb stop, also some curb rub on the front bumper. And the rear bumper has a key scratch several inches long.  I suspect this would require a few hundred dollars to fix if one were so inclined.

All of the exterior lights work.

The Kelly Blue Book value for this car, being sold by a private party, is $7850 in Fair condition and $8830 in Good condition. I would say considering the several defects it has, the car is in fair condition.  And to make all of the repairs to put this car into the 'Good' category, one wouldn't even need to spend the $1000 that separates the fair value from the good value.  What I'm trying to say is this car is a great value, especially considering the $5500 starting price  (30% below fair BB value)

Almost every review of the Infiniti G, new or used, is positive, as they are very well-built, reliable, and fun to drive. Please contact me via email or text @ 3017079121 with any questions. 

I am listing this vehicle in multiple other places, and I reserve the right to end this auction at any time without selling to buyer if it sells somewhere else first.

BMW reclaims US luxury sales crown from Mercedes

Tue, Jan 6 2015

The numbers, they are in: BMW has reclaimed the luxury-sales crown from Mercedes by a margin of 9,347 cars. Mercedes donned the king's headgear in 2013 after a strong final quarter of 2013 when the new CLA and S-Class poured out of dealerships. This year, led by the 3 Series/4 Series and X5, BMW sold 339,738 units – a 9.8-percent increase year-on-year. Mercedes, led by the C-Class and M-Class, saw its sales go up by 5.7 percent to 330,391 units. We'll have to wait a bit to see if there's another registrations-vs-sales challenge as in 2012, when BMW was anointed US luxury ruler. Behind them, a dark horse named Lexus nudged closer to the leading Teutons, selling 311,389 cars. The Japanese luxury automaker also had the biggest gain among the top three, its sales rising by 13.7 percent compared to 2013. Audi had the biggest sales of anyone among the top five, though, with a 15.2-percent gain to 182,011, which moved it a spot ahead of Cadillac; the Wreath-and-Crest brand dropped 6.5 percent to 170,750. Acura (167,843), Infiniti (117,300), and Lincoln (94,474) took the final positions. Speaking of Lincoln, sales at the once-mighty luxury marque stand as the mightiest jump of any on this list, up 15.6 percent. That's the power of Matthew McConaughey... and better cars and a new crossover, sure. So now that we're back to Round One of 2015, in case no one else has said it yet: "Ok, fight!"

Nissan recalls 640k crossovers for wiring issue, hood release

Wed, Jan 28 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced two separate recalls affecting hundreds of thousands of Nissan crossovers. The larger of the two involves the electrical system in 2008-2013 model year Rogue CUVs. In affected vehicles, a mixture of moisture and salt seeping in through the carpet on the driver's side could cause the harness connector to short, potentially causing a fire. The issue involves Nissan Rogues manufactured between March 7, 2007, and November 26, 2013, as well as examples of the 2014 Rogue Select manufactured between September 23, 2013, and July 2, 2014. All told, that comes to an estimated 468,815 units in the United States alone. The second recall affects the relatively smaller quantity of 170,665 vehicles, made up of 2013-14 Nissan Pathfinder, 2014 Pathfinder Hybrid, 2013 Infiniti JX35, 2014 QX60 and 2014 QX60 Hybrid models. (The JX35 was recently relabeled as the QX60 under Infiniti's new nomenclature.) The issue affecting some of those vehicles revolves around a hood release cable that may not properly latch. Nissan is notifying owners of the affected units to bring their vehicles in to have the wiring checked and to replace the harness connector and seal in the former case, and to have the hood release mechanism modified in the latter. All told, an estimated 639,480 vehicles are being recalled as part of the two campaigns. RECALL Subject : Electrical Short Due to Water Seepage Report Receipt Date: JAN 26, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V032000 Component(s): ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc. SUMMARY: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2008-2013 Nissan Rogue vehicles manufactured March 7, 2007, to November 26, 2013, and 2014 Nissan Rogue Select vehicles manufactured September 23, 2013, to July 2, 2014. The affected vehicles may experience an electrical short in the harness connector due to a mixture of snow/water and salt seeping through the carpet on the driver side floor near the harness connector. CONSEQUENCE: An electrical short can cause a vehicle fire. REMEDY: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the kick panel wiring harness connector and will if necessary install a new harness connector and waterproof seal, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

Watch Sebastian Vettel become first driver to lap Sochi GP circuit

Sun, 31 Aug 2014


In April of last year, Sebastian Vettel and David Coulthard drove the unpaved Sochi Formula One circuit in a pair of Infiniti M sedans, getting both muddy and airborne in the process. Now with tarmac laid down and fences put up, Vettel and Coulthard have gone back to the Black Sea vacation spot for another hot lap, this time in a Q50 Hybrid and without the need for mud flaps.
Sochi has earned the blessing of F1's race director, so now the next test will be the fans. With a healthy amount of wall-and-fencing along the straights, it has shades of Valencia for the viewer. We hope it will be much more exciting than its Spanish counterpart when racing happens on October 12. You'll find more videos below covering Infiniti's visits to the Sochi Autodrom, and a press release on the latest lap.
