1994 Infiniti Q45 (w/TCS and Heated Seats) Black exterior, Black leather interior. Approximately 139,000 miles, or 138,310 miles as of this auction. Some maintenance is necessary. The struts need to be replaced, especially in the rear. The tachometer sometimes works properly and other times doesn't. This does not effect the drivability of the vehicle in any way. The vanity mirrors both light up, but the plastic hinges are beginning to crack (like all 1990-1996 Q45's). The power am/fm antenna is snapped at the trunklid (easy to find replacements on ebay for cheap). There is also an oil leak at the valve covers (easy maintenance). Recent maintenance in the past 6 months includes: transmission service with new filter and fluid. Fuel pump and fuel filter has been replaced. Synthetic engine oil and new filter. Nearly immaculate interior, with no cracking and excessive wear to the leather interior seats or door panels. Carpeting in excellent shape, including original floormats. Front driver and passenger heated seats with Hi and Lo settings. TCS traction control system, which adds skid protection and aids the driver in maintaining control on slick and/or wet surfaces. The BOSE stereo system in this car has strong bass response and is stellar. Speakers still in great condition, with loud and clear performance and solid bass response. The engine does not consume coolant, does not overheat, nor is the engine burning oil. The engine runs excellently. The exhaust system is in excellent shape. The transmission provides crisp and clean shifts. The tires are in excellent condition with lots of tread life left and no rubber rotting at all. Squeaks and rattles are non-existent in the interior. You will be complimented everywhere you go when you drive this car. It can be parked alongside other luxury cars from Mercedes, Lexus, BMW, and Jaguar without looking inferior or out of place. This is why it has been my daily driver for business purposes working in Beverly Hills and Century City. The build quality of the early Q45's are just flat out stellar. They are easily on par or better than many other offerings from Mercedes, BMW, Lexus, etc,. A good comparison to the Q45 was the S-Class Mercedes of equivalent year. For a more modern day comparison, I believe it stacks up very well against a 2008 Mercedes E550. There is much more leather (and pleather) inside this Q45 than the Mercedes E-Class, without question. Fine print: If you are in any doubt about the quality or condition, please ask specific questions and/or personally inspect this vehicle yourself prior to bidding. I do not have the pink slip/title, but will provide the Bill of Sale. If you use the BUY IT NOW feature I will also smog the car for the buyer. I advise you to come view the vehicle personally if you have interest in it. Almost all scratches have been masked with touch up paint and/or good washing and waxing. Reserve price is set at $2400.00 even though Kelley Blue Book value is almost $5000.00 retail. Use the savings for maintenance or to restore the car to showroom condition. It won't take much effort to get this car back into showroom condition. On Jul-16-08 at 23:03:37 PDT, seller added the following information: Also need to mention that this is a used car!! There are body imperfections, namely the occasional door ding, and very slight side scuff marks at the passenger fender. Very very very slight body dent at the drivers' side rear quarter panel. Pictures do not reveal this imperfection, and it's almost impossible to notice in person. It took me over a month before I noticed the drivers' side rear imperfection, and took me a few days before I noticed that the passenger fender wasn't perfect either. When the car is kept clean, both "imperfections" are hardly noticeable.
