2011 Infiniti QX56 review - buying a used qx56? Start here

[@maniac32145]

Do second row seats slide up and down?

[@Cheatcode-v1]

At what mileage should the timing chain be replaced? How's the suspension maintenance?

[@everycarSeattle]

Timing chains are funny things. Technically, they never get replaced but they do go bad. They also are known to go bad in 2011 QX56's. A buyer's inspection before you buy is a must on a QX56 because not only do you have the chain, but any heavy vehicle is going to be looking at a variety of possible suspension needs. Overall, though, they're super reliable...just get a buyer's inspection at the Infiniti dealer before you buy. It's the best $199 you'll ever spend

Ooooh fancy!!!! I like

QX56's really are an amazing buy...especially early-year new-body-style QX56's with low miles.

@@LLCoolPass: I would stay away from the 2011. I own one and so do a few of my buddy's. Timing chain issue, CAT issues, suspension issues. I got 250,000 miles out of the vehicle, but it cost me a good amount of money. Unfortunately, my SUV's VIN was not part of the Manufacturer's recall. Loved the car, the ride and the space, but not worth the money invested to keep it running.
