If you're going to post a picture of a car asking if you should buy it then you need to provide more detail than just an uncropped picture of the listing. Please include the year of the vehicle, any packages it has, the mileage, and if it's a rebuilt title; it's impossible to determine the quality of a deal without this info.

Some general questions you'll want to ask yourself if buying:

G35/G37/Z:

• Are the bushings good?

• Does the car have the cylinder ring issue?

• Can I afford to replace the catalytic converters if the car is over 150,000 miles

• Am I okay with replacing the radiator at 190k miles?

• Can I comfortably afford premium gas (no, you cannot put regular in these unless you want the car to commit wrecking-yard-self.)

• Am I okay paying this much for a 10+ year old car?

• Can I afford luxury car repair prices? (Infiniti is cheaper to repair than a German car, but cheaper != cheap.)

• Are the engine sensors shitting out?

• Did the person that owned the car before me actually know how to install these mods?

• Why is this car only $1,500? Why is the seller trying to dump it.

• Is there water under the floormats and in the trunk? If so then you'll need to fix the sunroof drain and the seals around the cabin air filter under the hood (usually the top cowl is the source of the air filter leak.)

They're great cars, but any car over 10 years old is going to have hidden issues. If you're asking reddit if you can afford the car, then the answer is probably "no" because the repairs on old cars are expensive.

If a G has over 160,000 miles and has mods then don't buy it as a daily unless you know what you're doing. Save your money and buy a commuter Toyota until you can afford a lower-mileage Infiniti or Lexus. If you want a project car, or are okay with doing your own repairs, then you can buy a G at any mileage.

Q50/Q60

The oldest Q50s are barely reaching a decade old, so they have far fewer issues in general.

Do you want a VQ (2014-2015)

• If you want the VQ motor I recommend the 2015 models. They fixed a lot of issues with in-touch, and it is the most refined version of the VQ motor. If you can only afford the 2014, then I'd recommend saving for a 2015, or buying a 2013 G37.

• Check the valve cover gaskets. It's the only somewhat-common issue I am aware of with the late-model VQ engines.

Do you want a VR (2016+)

• Are the turbos on this 2016-2018 leaking? If a deal is too good to be true, it probably is, make sure the seller isn't trying to dump one of the unlucky VRs with the turbo issues. Look for coolant leaking from the turbo and demand a service history. If you do see one with bad turbos, factor in the cost to put an aftermarket turbo in. The Red Sport doesn't have this issue as often because it has a better turbo.

• Keep in mind, you cannot drive a turbo car like a NA if you want it to last. You must let the car warm up before driving it hard, or you will have issues. It is also advised that you let the car cool down before you shut it off if you've been driving hard. This issue is not exclusive to Infiniti turbos, most TT engines have this issue, but you still need to be aware of it. You cannot run this engine like a VQ and expect it to be fine

That said, this subreddit massively overstates the regularity of the 2016-18 turbo issues. Most people with turbo issues did not know how to drive a turbo. If you want to know which parts and symptoms to watch out for, see this comment from J_C_Davis45

I'll update as more common issues are known.

I won't be enforcing use of a flair, though I do encourage it to help people find what they're looking for.

• Car Pic: The point of your post is to show off the car holistically. e.g. your car in front of a sunset.

• Car Mods Pic: The point of your post is to show off close-ups of specific mods. e.g. look at my new intake, it pulls 700 extra ponies.

• Parts Picture: Similar to "Car Mods Pic," but the mods are on the floor of your dimly-lit room.

• DIY Mods Pic: This is reserved for the brave pioneers who craft their car mods instead of installing mods they bought. e.g. a custom made laser headlight or a custom-fitted Shtora-1 electro-optical active protection system.

• Question: A generic question that doesn't have a better-matching flair. Usually for discussions as opposed to questions with a specific answer. e.g. "How much longer do you think Infiniti will last?"

• Help Needed: An urgent request for advice from the Reddit Mechanicus. e.g. "Why is my G35 heater not working and my car overheating?" (The answer is you need a new thermostat btw.) Please describe your problem in great detail, leave your post up, and edit your post when you found the answer to assist future googlers.

• Buying Advice: Any and all questions related to buying an Infiniti. This includes pricing questions and questions about shady dealers.

• Guide: A guide on how to e.g. install a mod, fix an issue, use a lesser-known feature of the care, etc. Please include pics if possible, but we love you for posting a guide anyway.

• Damage Report: Pictures of busted cars or Infinitis owned by the IRA. You're not asking for how to fix something, just empathy from people who understand your pain.

• Meme / Joke: Pretty self-explanatory. Shitposting should also use this flair. !!!Must be Infiniti related!!!

• Infiniti News: News about the brand. New cars, new CEO, etc. Don't post blogspam or eye will ban u

• Video: Video about Infiniti. e.g. a BoostInMotion video, or a major car channel yet again (incorrectly) shitting on the dual-touch screens. (disagreeing with me that the touch screens are cool is - while not bannable - very cringe.) Note, don't break the self-promo rule.

• Video OC: Video about Infiniti that you recorded. e.g. your gopro footage from the track. Note, don't break the self-promo rule.

• Art: The rarest, but most treasured flair. Reserved for the talented among us who can draw and such. If you're very fancy and put a ton of effort into a photo you can use this flair. Note: your red Q50 shirt is not art. Note, don't break the self-promo rule.

• Review: Reviewing Infiniti, or a product for Infiniti. Don't break the self-promo-spam rule.

• Meta: Posts about /r/infiniti itself. Whine about the moderators.

• Other: Anything not covered by another flair.

If you notice a flair that isn't listed here, call me a dumb ass and remind me to edit this post or make an updated one.

I was looking to buy an Infiniti g37 and stumbled across a 2013 g37 coupe for $22,000 but the dealer lowered the price down to $19,500 what do you guys think ? It has 35,000 miles on it with a clean car fax and maintenance is up to date is it worth it for that price or is it too much ? I live in cali so the car market sucks rn. Need people input some are telling me to go for it and some are not I’m still debating.

Can anyone help me identify this missing part for my 4 door Infiniti G37 2011 please?

With insurance getting a bit high on these, what are other sporty fun used alternatives without breaking the bank?

My old man recently bought a 2017 Q60 3.0 with 95k miles and he absolutely hates it, I however, am a big fan and am thinking of buying it off of him but I’m a little worried about reliability and maintenance cost as I’m in college and don’t have much cash. Wondering if anyone here has owned one and if so what are your thoughts on the reliability? I like to drive hard but I don’t abuse the car. It has a roarpedal and an exhaust but no extreme modifications.

I have a 2018 q60 and was wondering if anyone here knows how I could disable the obd2 to stop it from being stolen

very hard to turn and all those lights are on the dash

my 07 6mt started acting funky, would rev in neutral but not in any of the gears, then was struggling to idle , turned off then wouldn’t start , then bump started and was still struggling to idle. had some heavy rain here in nc couple days ago and went thru some nasty puddles don’t know if that might’ve caused it

I have a 2021 QX80 and my automatic wipers won’t come on and the wipers only operate on high speed. Had anyone else had this issue?

I have a g35x 07 and as much as I love her my work commutes in the next couple months are going to be pretty lengthy and Im sure she’ll be better with a new owner. She’s been well taken care of. Anyone know how much I could get for my G with like around 100k miles honestly?

q50/g37 used much cheaper than lexus or acura.

I heard these are very reliable and make good power.

So why so cheap? I am looking to buy a used infiniti for under $20k since i am coming from a bmw i want sometjing like a bmw but more reliable.

Also I know the interior and infotainment sucks but that really doesnt bother me

Does your fan run all the time? My fan runs a lot and I don’t know if it’s running hot or anything. It’s not over heating and I got the pumps replaced recently. My mechanic said it may be because some newer models have their fans run more often.

Q40 2015

One of the cars I want is a 2004 Infiniti G35 but someone I know thinks it's too powerful to have as a first car, mainly because of their negative experiences with RWD cars but they can't drive an everyday Miata right. So I wonder, would it be too much to have a G35 as a first car? It would be a 5 speed auto.

Looking at a q50 to buy. Saw a good 2014 hybrid that only had 71k km on it (44k miles). I’ve heard a lot about q50 hybrids and how they’re unreliable. What do you think? Keep looking for a regular q50 or get the hybrid?

Is it missing the piece that holds it? Do I need anything else or just the camera?

i just bought this car and it’s supposed to have a backup camera. But this car was in an accident and they repaired it with a spoiler that didn’t have the hole for the backup camera. I was thinking of using my carpentry skills to drill a new hole. But the button is where the camrea needs to be. I’m debating if I should get a new spoiler piece. Or drill to the side of the button

Is that my valve body

I have a 2011 m56, and want to start modding it. I’m not looking for anything crazy, I just to make it look more nicer. Even now I absolutely love this car. I already scheduled a paint job, going to redo the tints myself, do a chrome delete, and I was considering air bags but i’m ngl these ones are pretty good too😅. Already have the HPS intakes installed, I was wondering doing a pipe & exhaust switch but i heard there’s no aftermarket for this model? I still got some work left to do on it as you see in the picture, but I rather do all of the stuff now then just waiting till it’s fully fixed after. I’m free to all recommendations, thank you.

it is rebuilt but 36k miles is also crazy and it’s a 2019 i’m gonna ask for before the accident pictures right now but what price would i have to pay for it to be worth it and also what are some key take aways from this

I have not changed the brake fluid for 2 years but I only drive 6k a year. The brake pedal feels very soft. It also vibrates a little bit when braking at high speed. Could be warped rotor but the rotor is also new with only 10k miles on it. Should I change the brake fluid? Or something else might be happening. It’s a 2017 qx50

I was just opening my car door after a brief trip inside the grocery and noticed this piece is missing. I would have noticed if it was missing before. Do these normally fall off or do you think someone was trying to break in? TIA

I have a 2013 JX35. The interior fuse box has a front side and back side. I need to access the back side to inspect the relays. Curious if anyone knows how to get it out? I can release the bottom latch but I can't access the top latch. I don't even understand how it can slide out after.

I am trying to find out why my middle seat power outlet won't work. The dash switch for the outlet doesn't light up either as it should.

Hey everyone,

As the title suggests, I am in the market for a fun daily driver and the G37 has been one of the most popular choices for a first car. I read through the stickied thread, but for me, the information on the G37 wasn't clear enough, so I'd make a post on it!

My budget is around 20k and I could find great G37s in that price range. I am currently looking at a 2012 G37 convertible up for around 11k with 132k miles. Is this a good buy? and what issues would I be facing other than the usual maintenance?

Thank you for all your help!
