  • Is the 2014 - 2015 Infiniti Q50 worth buying in 2022? How about 2023?? Much has changed in the automotive world over the last 7 years, but has my opinion about the Q50 3.7? Let’s look at the pros and cons of this platform now after having owned this car for a number of years as well as taking into consideration what the market has brought us over the last 18 months.

It is definitely OK to fill it up with regular unleaded. In my old Acura TL I also used 87 for 70k+ miles on it and had no problems. Not saying I use 87 for my q50, but it is ok to do so.

    Im a Crown member and founder for GQVQS Central florida chapter so I pretty much am surrounded by a bunch of Infinitis on my free time lol, A handful of our members are 3.7's including myself and weve all had slightly different experiences with it. However all in all the engine is pretty much bullet proof, I just hit 100k recently on mine and the only major issue was the valve body going out on me. Theres some small issues that I notify every 3.7 hr owner I meet because iv yet to see a 3.7 without it unless they already fixed it. Im personally torn because im looking into selling before I get more mileage on it to eventually either get a 3.0 or another 3.7 since I still love the platform. I bought mine back in either 2019 or 2020 with about 60k miles so far the market is shooting up for my vehicle but dont want to have to wait 3+ years in order to get another one 😢.

    I actually opted to get a 3.7 cause of your videos and here’s my take. I hang out with a lot of other Infiniti owners so I’ve been able to see 2.0T’s/3.0T’s, if you can opt for the sport. It’s minimal but the sport bumper just has a more aggressive look and brakes look better. On warm days my stock 3.7 will easily take out a 3.0T, now cold days different story, but it’s not by a lot. The interior to a 2022 isn’t honestly not that different. Sure there are things the display can do that mine can’t but it’s very little and wasn’t a deal breaker. Stock 3.7 can outrun a lot of vehicles out right now. I’m surprised the vehicles I’ve been able to beat. It’s a solid car. Also a lot of friends have all blown turbos on their 17-20 Q’s. Oh and we don’t have to worry about heat soaking or the engine getting too hot.
    My take as a 3.7 owner I’m in love and wouldn’t have chosen anything else

Just did all brakes and calipers. Otherwise perfect. Looks hot with ceramic coating too. These VQ37 engines are outstanding. Don’t want a new car with a million useless sensors and turbos.

    In the market for a Q50 with the 3.7, would prefer the sport but wondering if it’s worth the extra money since there’s a lot more base/premium ones for sale out there. Are there any big differences or is it just the front bumper and bigger brakes (which can be changed aftermarket anyway)?

      Price is a little high in my area, but wouldn't surprise me if you were in NY or Cali. Prices will continue to decline now, but it's hard to predict a value because of what they are trying to do with electric. In normal circumstances, I would say the 3.7 Q would be worth low teens in 5 years. Like what G37s are going for now.

Passenger air bag warning always ON since '21 ( couldn't fix it) rattle at idle ( subframe vibration, they said, couldn't fix it). Had to replace most expensive part of muffler (middle part) ( no aftermarket available) / 2 rear shocks (no aftermarket available).. Muffler and shocks,3,000$ in repair last summer. TRADED it for a top trim G70. But all in all, it was a great car, great highway cruiser.

    In 2016 when I bought my used 2013 G37xS sedan I was 31 and confident it was an older person who leased it for its first 3 years. In 2022? All the lease returns that are "supposed to have been well maintained" are 3.0T models. Turbo in a daily? Nah. So you're right, getting a reliable 3.7 model from Infiniti's golden era comes down to vehicle history now. I would buy a known quantity (records) that is 6-8 years old over an unknown turbo car that is 3-4-5 years old. Manufacturers took BMW's cue from the 2000's and are now building in heavy vehicle repairs in their business models.

I have seen you video on the install and know it is easy to do. Just can not find them at a good price and when I do they are gone before I get there. I got mine in 2019 with 74,000 miles on it. Now has 84,000 I did change the battery, brakes and tires but that is something everyone has to do when owning a car. I did install a remote starter which took about 15-20 minutes to do.

      Prices are high now so that’s probably about right. If it was taken care of, I’m sure it’ll be a good car for many miles for you!

      I live in los angeles & bought a salvage 2015 only to the front corner was hit but not the q60 rims that came with the car along with muffler delete, wing and diffuser for only 11,500 on 75,000 miles back in 2019. Valve body went out @ 100k but that was easily fixed for less 2k. Just find infiniti specialists, they are more practical than the dealer or even a shop.
