You might be buying a car or SUV and you're wondering why used Infiniti vehicles are so cheap. I've done my research and today I'm going to tell you why they come out cheap and why you might want to think twice about hitting that buy button.

The fact is, Infiniti is one of the highest depreciating cars after being sold new off the lot.

  • Used Infinitis are the used car market's best kept secret. I love that they are so "affordable" second-hand. I've owned 3 so far and they never disappointed me. Great, reliable cars!
  • @shojus
    I'd buy a used Infiniti over a BMW or Mercedes any day of the week.
  • @Erick-fg8ou
    I would say that Infiniti's depreciation is a gift to me. My 2007 M35 is still going strong after 208k miles. When it's time to get another car, it will be another Infiniti.
  • @jj-rx2xh
    I rather get an infiniti than a German car all day long
  • I’ve had 3 Infinitis…..currently own a 2014 QX70 that I bought brand new. Only 59k miles on it. It’s never been in the repair shop for anything including warranty work. It’s an amazing vehicle that I’ll continue to own. The other two were a FX35 and G35 and both were great vehicles

    Before watching this video i watched numerous others who consistently pointed out the European cars you pointed out to be not only the most unreliable but also the costliest to repair. INFINITI depreciate more because they keep their cars fairly unchanged for many years. Many european brands refresh or redesign their models every few years. Thus keeping the desirability/demand which helps it retain lower depreciation. Unfortunately, this leaves many European cars with unaddressed serious reliability issues due to its shorter refresh cycles.

    I've owned three Infiniti Q50's and numerous "performance" cars in the past. I wouldn't trade my 2021 Q50 RS for ANY of the peer brands you mention. Jaguar? Really? The Q50 is a fantastic blend of performance and ride quality. Infiniti is unfairly a whipping boy by channels like this.

    2009 G37S, purchased in 2013 with 32,000 miles.... still going strong in 2023 with 204,000 miles...14 yrs old
  • I call BS! I’ve owned several Lexus and Infiniti models. Neither is ever in the shop! And the Infiniti coupes definitely hold their value and are hard to find at a reasonable price. While Jaguar, Audi, and Mercedes are extremely expensive to maintain, Infiniti’s being basically glorified Nissans don’t break the bank.
  • Bro Infiniti is the best choice if you want the speed and reliability. So please try before you talk
  • Infiniti's can be great values if you get one with low miles. I bought a 2015 Q70L 5.6 V8 with only 5,000 miles in 2016. It was loaded with a MSRP of $74,000 USC. I paid only $38,000!! The interior was gorgeous! Semi-aniline leather with hand crafted Japanese ash wood. The build quality, comfort, and styling were superb, especially for the money! The car provided the same luxury of vehicles costing thousands more! Very reliable! Had NO issues! The drawback was that the tech was a bit dated, especially the dashboard. It still had a dot matrix screen! The LED screen was also small and had poor resolution. The engine, although powerful, was not very smooth. The handling was just OK. It was definitely not worth 74k, but it was a huge bargain at 38k!!!! After 6 yrs, I recently traded it in for a 2019 Porsche Panamera 4s with only 13k miles on it and a 6 yr warranty. MSRP was 140k, I paid 74k. I love the Porsche, but I noticed the build quality was actually better on the Infiniti! They can be great values!. The new QX60 doesn't have a CVT, and the interior is gorgeous. Definitely would get one used with low mileage! Infiniti just needs to continue to update their models!
  • @TheAlchemist8
    My husband has an Infiniti for a long time. No mechanic issues. This was a hit job.
  • @ixsmaelable
    None of those German cars are as reliable as infinity.
  • @lordpauly309
    I'm not sure what you're talking about..🤔 On my third QX60. Never, ever had a problem! My last one is the Autograph series with all the bells and whistles. Absolutely beautiful!!
  • @HJR8581
    I got a Q70. Love it. Great V6 engine. 20 inch wheels. Seat warming and cooling. No CVT. All the premium options. It was listed at around 60k new. I bought it 3 years old for 33. It's affordable luxury. I've had zero issues with it. I like the European cars. I just don't want the expense of owning one.
  • @Walter37165
    My first Infiniti was a 2006 M35X. Consumers Report voted the 2006 and 2007 the #1 mid-sized luxury vehicle in the country. I drove that for 250,000 miles. I never had an issue with it and it was a work of art inside with cut and finish unequal/superior to the European brands at that time. My 2nd Infiniti was a used 2006 M35X and I have now driven that for over 150,000 miles and it runs and looks fantastic!
  • @Come-What-May
    A few months back I test drove several car brands. I had no preference and was simply curious to see what I'd like best. Nissan, BMW, Audi, Mazda and Infiniti. Pleasantly surprised, I bought the 2020 Infiniti Q60.
  • @TraceElliot42
    I would call this video an unfair hit job. While it's absolutely true they lose value faster than other Japanese cars, their reliability is mostly great. I can't speak for the newer ones with CVTs turbo but the older ones are absolutely a steal for price/quality.
  • A used Infiniti looks more desirable than the German cars due to better reliability. However, I’d still go with Lexus when it comes to overall reliability and desirability.
