The cheapest V8 I have seen sold is the black car mentioned earlier in the thread which got traded for around £15k I think with 60k on the clock. Buy a decent condition 60 plate car with sensible miles and recent tyres for around £20k, run it for a couple of years and I would think you would still make 13-14k back all day long come trade in time.

I am sure that was a bargain! mines going in for a 20k service next week and needs a AC compressor that I wouldn't want to claim for if it was out of warranty or try to get warranty direct to pay for hence I will be getting shut before the Infinity warranty expires as I don't like cars without warranties, the Infinity extended warranty is not happening and never was, looks like wishful thinking from a dealer.

Anyone found any good tyre deals for them - I see Michelin and Pirelli now make 265 45r21 tyres not just Dunlop

I went to Infiniti Glasgow to have a look at the weekend, no Demonstrator available until March and only 1 used FX which was being looked at by another couple... Left pretty unimpressed....😙

In a year it's been solid, my AC compressor is rumbling and it squeaks a bit but it was half the price of a similar RR sport old shape and is a great kid carrier

Well done Swerni, it does look nice.

DSLiverpool, what makes you say the warranty will not be coming?

The UK distributor has been sacked and the existing dealers are negotiating to arrange a warranty as the realise after 3 years the cars dive in value as no quality warranty is available. Infinity HQ and two dealers both confirmed this, the new warranty is due to be rolled out in Feb but its NOT an Infinity one however its better than a normal 3rd party one.

Thanks, it's a shame if that is the case although Reading didn't mention anything when I contacted them a few days ago.

Swerni, those Dunlops are cheap, I paid £320 each just over a year ago and struggled to find any in stock anywhere..

Just a quick update re the warranty situation, according to 2 dealers I have spoken to this week, there will be an Infiniti backed used car and warranty scheme coming online within the next 3-4 weeks. This scheme is apparently being rolled out across all UK and European dealerships.

Hull and Stockport don't agree with that - yes a warranty is coming out but its not Infinity backed it is a upgraded 3rd party warranty that should be a seamless claim in that you don't see it as a 3rd party one BUT it is. Lets see what transpires as the resale value will increase with a decent warranty option.

WARNING!! dont do what I have occidentally done, the rear boot floor has a lanyard with hook to keep it up when you need to get the wheel out, this fell down the gap between the wheel and the body and hooked meaning I could only lift the boot floor 2 inches and after ages trying I gave up and cut it frown

ICR don't agree with this.
It is an Infiniti backed warranty not upgraded 3rd party warranty and quote "will be exactly the same as the normal Pan European new car warranty".
It will be out during February.

Call Infinity uk call centre they will confirm it's not underwritten by Infinity however it should seem like the manufacturers product.
