Thinking of buying a 2002 q45

[grip1968]

I got my eye on this 2002 q45 with 119k miles on it, It at the infiniti dealership in my area. I need to know how will do you think I will get for my 1997 q45 with 233k on it, Also the 2002 q45 do anybody know of the good & the bad of this car.
P.S. it's going for $9,785 loaded

2002 was a very bad year, too many recalls, bulletins, engine oil consumptions problem, A/c poor cooling, etc. I definitely do not recommend that year. By the model year 2004 most all the problems were fixed.

What if all the recalls where done its still dont buy it??

The factory didn't recalled the the A/C system, or engine (for the oil consumption problem), or the exhaust, headlight ballast, etc.

It's just my opinion.

You should try to get the vehicle history from the dealer, it is possible that the dealer did the repairs before the warranty expire.

dont want to hijack the thread ... but I just bought a 05 Q45 with only 35k miles... any issues I need to look out for or make sure get fxed under warranty?

I would suggest, as InfinitiExpert does, that you get the vehicle history from Infiniti if you can. Other than that check through the tsb's for your model and year. You'll find the service bulletins under the "knowledgebase" tab above.

I did contact Infiniti, they looked up the history and told me it was well maintained with all services performed. I have an appt Wednesday to look at the drivers mirror that does not move(only problem I have managed to find). I will ask them to confirm a recent oil change that the maint computer states has been done. Or I will have them just change it. In any case this is our 1st Infiniti and we are just thrilled with it so far.

"All services performed" is always good to hear. Welcome to Infinitihelp.com and have fun with your Q45 :)
