Hi Mark, replied to your email on this.
My quote was for a FX 3.0D S
I did find it appalling that a company like Infiniti who is trying to develop into a premium brand in the UK would only offer Auto Protect for extended warranties.
As I told Infiniti, this would be a deal breaker for me when I replace the FX as I keep my cars for 5 years, buying up to 1 year old and unless I could get a manufacturers based warranty, I am off to a different brand, which would be a shame as I really like the FX.

Hi Andy, to the best of my knowledge there isn't really a dedicated forum for the FX. There are a couple of US based forums that I think the odd Brit posts on but I don't think it would be worth advertising there.
Ebay or here would be your best bet. Just a thought but have your tried flogging them to an Infiniti main dealer ?

I saw the black FX50 on here too. I remember when Strastones sold it a few months ago I think, cheap car!
Residual values are not great on anything in the Infiniti range but I think provided you buy well at 2 or 3 years old you will get an awful lot of car for very sensible money.
I wish someone had posted a link to it, I would have bought it....😢Residual values are not great on anything in the Infiniti range but I think provided you buy well at 2 or 3 years old you will get an awful lot of car for very sensible money.

Totally agree with this comment.Residual values are not great on anything in the Infiniti range but I think provided you buy well at 2 or 3 years old you will get an awful lot of car for very sensible money.
Actually even a 1 year old, they are incredible value for money. Look how much an equivalent X5 would cost you before you try to bring the spec up to a similar level.
The manufacturer's warranty will also strengthen the +3 year old cars residuals.
My local Nissan dealer has 2 Infinitis in a present, as they are in Exeter, I asked him about servicing, and he stated they can now service Infinitis?
I questioned whether Infiniti would honour extended warranty claims and he said they will.
I need to check his as it would save me a trip to Reading from the West Country!

Just been advised by Infiniti Reading, that finally Infiniti will offer a manufacturers extended warranty from Feb next year.
Quote is £900 for 2 years, comprehensive, including European breakdown cover.
This is not the old Auto Protect, but manufacturer backed...great news, but about time for what is trying to be a premium brand manufacturer!
Infinity help line in London know nothing about this - I asked them to check and advise Quote is £900 for 2 years, comprehensive, including European breakdown cover.

Not 6 months for the V 8 it's 12 - my first service is due in feb I'm expecting £400 ish
Tyres are a consideration,
This is the first car I have ever had that didn't need to go back for work after receipt, I got mine on 11 months 12000 miles and if they don't put a factory warranty in place will sell it when it's 2 1/2 years old.

I think the 2012 cars received a mild facelift which added a fully powered closing tailgate as opposed to the soft close on the earlier cars. I think there was also a lane departure warning system added at the same time.
If it were my money and provided Infiniti come up with the long promised warranty scheme, I would buy an earlier car for around £20k and add a warranty, I think you would stand to loose much less buying this way if depreciation is a concern.
