How did you get on with Reading?

The 3.7 is basically the same engine fitted to the 370z as I understand it. I would imagine the easiest and probably cheapest way of getting more noise would be to have a company fabricate a custom back box. I am not sure where you are based but there is a company in St Albans that can make an exhaust system from stainless steel for sensible money, unfortunately their name escapes me at the moment.

The 5.0 exhaust system fitted by Reading is manufactured by Quicksilver, maybe worth a call to them too?

Stonkn, no sorry I dont know anyone with a 3.7. Ask around the main dealer service departments they may know an owner.

Wookietaff, sorry to hear that, did it go to Reading in the end? Did you go for the Audi as a replacement?

Just noticed the FX50 on eBay painted in Arancio Pearl, does anyone know the history of the car? The advert states it was built by Infiniti Piccadilly (Reading)

[T5GRF]

M3DEV that is good news! Who did you speak to at Reading regarding this, was it Mani?

[T5GRF]

Thanks Rob, I have been in touch with Nicola and she has confirmed that Feb/March should see the introduction of the new scheme. I wonder when someone will tell ICR..?

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.

Swerni, good choice! My FX50 came with an Infiniti branded roof box (Thule made) which has proved very useful for family trips as the standard boot can be a bit challenging with the rear roofline.

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.

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 saw the orange FX50 on eBay a while ago. Is it still around?

[T5GRF]

Well done Swerni, it does look nice.

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

[T5GRF]

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

[T5GRF]

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.
