Infiniti Q50 BEST year to Buy

[@jordandyce3339]

Just purchased a 2020 q50 red sport for 35.5k. 1 owner, 18k miles, and clean car fax. Super happy about it.

[@camboominn]

Congrats. Sounds fun.

[@mfl8276]

Nice, I just got a 2020 Silver Sport with 24K miles. Glad to know I picked a good year.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Excellent choice!

[@RR-nl2ep]

Great answer!!!! 2019 Red Sport 400👍 It is just like not buying a new GTR. I would rather have a low mileage used one because the platform is still pretty much the same.

2018+ > 2014-2015 > 2016-2017

[@JLEWIS18]

I bought a 2021 Q50 last month 24k miles and I love it

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Heck yeah!

[@Sugar0nGr1tZ]

Got a 2020 CPO Redsport w/ 37,000 miles for 34k last September. I love her.

[@maui3302]

I have a 2015 q50 currently at 145k miles only issues I’ve had is my valve body going bad at 136k & radiator leaking at 140k besides that car drives like a beast still

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Excellent!

2019 Luxury purchased in 2022, did some minor mods awesome car!!

[@marshallmxtakeslzz]

What would be a good q50 alternative (within similar price range)

[@jaypalo]

Probably a stinger 3.8 or the genesis, I would stay away from any sort of German or American made car tbh. These cars are the best bang for your buck hands down

[@arkyr1570]

2020 is the perfect year, nothing else. And i have a 19ss

[@turbo8890]

Great overall recap of the years and what to expect. I put on a hard 80k miles on my 2015 and it still runs like a champ. I wouldn't mind starting it all over again with a newer model and a fresh engine. Cheers broski.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Thanks for checking in!!

[@coolamazon123]

Any valve body issues?

[@carloscastillo4346]

Bought a 2020 silver sport. It might not have the features of a Mercedes or as boujee of an interior but it’s super comfortable and fun to drive. And frankly the Bose sound system is really nice.

[@raycandelario2244]

Going to get into a 2019 q50 this week. I’ve been looking for months and glad to hear I went with a good year 🫡

[@ATP427]

Got a 2015 3.7 with a clean title and 42k miles for 16k.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Where are you located?

[@brandonjedi]

i got my CPO 2019 Sport around 18 months ago with 5k miles. it was leased previously by an older lady and she barely drove it. crazy low mileage although i did pay a little more like 38k

[@paidoffboss2784]

Thank you I’m getting me one

[@Rebel.Images]

Hello there, long time viewer first time commenting, I own a 2020 Q50 Luxe. I bought it in November of 2022.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Great choice!

[@calenolsen9926]

Heads up comparing the 2019 to the 2020. The 2020's got apple car play. Wired only from the factory but in 2021 most owners did a free dealership upgrade to wireless apple car play. I have a 2020 silver sport and love the car

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Good info. Although tech does little for me in deciding which to choose-mostly pointing out the fact that the interior styling hasn’t changed much in 10 years.

[@whip31lash]

Great job....couldn't agree more with everything

[@VSPStreety]

If I were to keep my 3.0t stock will i still run the risk of blown turbos?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Not as high of a risk, but it still happens

[@Money-ui8xt]

A year with my 3.7 Q50 2015 and the only issue ive had is a minor steering fluid leak and the basic maintenance ( fluids / filters / breaks ) . 103k miles running strong , shifts smoothly but i i got that bag ready for any valve body issues

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Excellent!

[@Xerxezs]

how much did you buy it for?

[@TheRELLEworld]

I have a 2018 silver sport and I’ll tell you diff issues turbo replacement and that’s really it nothing else great car all and all

[@Evil_Gianni]

Anybody wanting a VR30 stick to 2020+. Just because of the updated infotainment system and how the packaging system has changed. Apple CarPlay/Android Auto is standard from this point onward. DO NOT get a 2019. I’ve seen way too many lower specked q50’s without rear sensors, adjustable lumbar w/ front sensors only and dealers ask way too much compared to a 2017 w/ Bose almost standard, and with rear and front sensors. 2018s at the very least I’ve seen more with the proassist package and still have that 2018+ refresh.

[@mfl8276]

Yep agree, I just got a 2020 and I notice how responsive my screen is than the older models.

[@djivan831]

I have a 2018 AWD Q60 RS & yes 2020 + is great advice 🙌 No issues here & running like a dream thankfully 🙏

[@E79eternal]

17 Silver Sport here, full bolt ons and tune. Other than the serpentine belt issue car has been good. Also I agree unless you get the sport model like I did, the look of the older non RedSport models look basic. Love the sport bumper package mine came with🙌

[@chriscrites5070]

Would your wheel and tire setup for the 3.7 fit a 2020 3.0??

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Yes. Should be very close if not the same

[@roaringlionzofficial]

I bought a 2024 RS!!

[@zulfiquer3841]

I found a 2019 q50 red sport with 50k miles for 29k is that a good deal?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Not bad for a red sport. I’d try to get it down some still

[@zulfiquer3841]

@@SpeedCultureStudios bet ya I’m hoping to try seeing if the seller is willing to go down what do u recommend is a good price?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

@@zulfiquer3841 I’d be looking at closer to 25k but it all depends on where you’re located.

[@steele713]

I just got a 2019 red sport with sensory pkg for 27500 and 39k miles. Missing the adaptive cruise and lane assist features but has most everything else. Wanted 2020 for the updated screen but this was hard to pass on and the screen is good. I can put car play and android auto in if I choose. They sell kits that are pretty decent and not badly priced and pretty easy to install

[@boooyaaababy651]

so 26k cdn would not be a bad deal for a sport 19?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

If the mileage and condition is good then yes that’s probably a good deal.

[@justooo23]

What do you think about a 2016 q50 with 49k miles for 16k? Clean title and good history. Kind of hard for me to pass up on but I am second guessing.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

There are 18s out there for slightly more. You may be able to negotiate down. If you're considering the 16, get an inspection at a nissan/infiniti dealer.

[@justooo23]

@@SpeedCultureStudios Great thanks for the feedback, I’ve been looking for 18+ but looks like the market is slim in my area and surrounding for the price im looking for but I’ve been told more than once 16s were not the way to go, so I will keep that in mind.

[@maxyuh8422]

Just got a q50 2020 3.0 as a 17 year old what are some recommend mods ?

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Check out my channel sometime. Lots of mod recommendation videos!

[@mfl8276]

What's your budget? You wanna do performance or cosmetic? Performance can be expensive as where cosmetics are pretty cheap to purchase. I just got a 2020 Silver Sport myself.

[@doctorabbas542]

Any year u prefer ?

[@Jerry-mm6md]

Have you ever encountered an P2098 code ..any ideas as to what some say it’s an exhaust leak or the 02 sensor

Do you have OEM or aftermarket exhaust?

Great episode @speedculturestudios‼️ Owner of a 2018 Q60 RS AWD, I bought it 3 years ago as a CPO purchase w/ 6.5k miles. It’s now @ 74k, been FBO for over 50k miles & running like a dream. No mechanical issues & hasn’t skipped a beat, proper maintenance & care for a turbo charged car is all it needs. 5k oil changes, check oil/coolant/belt regularly (it’s good practice) & enjoy. Great platform to start modifying in terms of cosmetics & performance. Be strategic about your build & or goal, but don’t cut corners 💯🙏 @my60rs ✌️

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Great advice!
