@@TahoeOG_not required. i have a 14’ Q50 and in the owners manual it says premium is recommended (premium according to INFINITI is only 89+, NOT 93) however if you must use 87 to not drive it at high rpm’s and to try and get premium the next time you can. It is definitely OK to fill it up with regular unleaded. In my old Acura TL I also used 87 for 70k+ miles on it and had no problems. Not saying I use 87 for my q50, but it is ok to do so.
I actually opted to get a 3.7 cause of your videos and here’s my take. I hang out with a lot of other Infiniti owners so I’ve been able to see 2.0T’s/3.0T’s, if you can opt for the sport. It’s minimal but the sport bumper just has a more aggressive look and brakes look better. On warm days my stock 3.7 will easily take out a 3.0T, now cold days different story, but it’s not by a lot. The interior to a 2022 isn’t honestly not that different. Sure there are things the display can do that mine can’t but it’s very little and wasn’t a deal breaker. Stock 3.7 can outrun a lot of vehicles out right now. I’m surprised the vehicles I’ve been able to beat. It’s a solid car. Also a lot of friends have all blown turbos on their 17-20 Q’s. Oh and we don’t have to worry about heat soaking or the engine getting too hot. My take as a 3.7 owner I’m in love and wouldn’t have chosen anything else
Got a 3.7 in 2019, has been perfect. no issues so far after about at around 68k miles now. Its pretty mint and i believe it will be sought after in a few years. Just did all my drive line fluids about 2k miles ago, so hopefully that helps with longetivity (diff, trans, coolant, brake)
Tha ks for the videos! I'm the owner of a 2003 G35 sedan and it's almost at 200k and has been my favorite car of all time. Came across this video and your channel while researching the Q50 platform as I might be passing down the G35 to my son.
I've had 2 2006 M45S loved them both. I'm on my 2nd 2016 Red Sport 400. My first Red Sport was totaled in a rear-end collision and I am currently driving my latest 2016 Red Sport 400, purchased with 49,000k on it. I love them and with a few mods I will be an official Hellcat hunter.
My ‘13 G37X coupe is such fun to drive. Bought it in 2017 with 23k miles - now at 102k. Never a problem ! Premium fuel, change oil every 4k miles ….all other fluids changed as well. Just did all brakes and calipers. Otherwise perfect. Looks hot with ceramic coating too. These VQ37 engines are outstanding. Don’t want a new car with a million useless sensors and turbos.

If you want a reliable vehicle yes. But in 2022 you are better off getting a Certified pre-owned 2016+ 3.0t with a warranty.

I personally never owned infinite but the q50 and q60 coupe still turn my head. The exterior and power aged like fine wine but interior definitely needs an upgrade, kinda like is350
Here's my story: Bought a brand new 2014, AWD 3.7, kept it 9 years. 60,000 Mi. Maintenance ($) at dealership was insane. Passenger air bag warning always ON since '21 ( couldn't fix it) rattle at idle ( subframe vibration, they said, couldn't fix it). Had to replace most expensive part of muffler (middle part) ( no aftermarket available) / 2 rear shocks (no aftermarket available).. Muffler and shocks,3,000$ in repair last summer. TRADED it for a top trim G70. But all in all, it was a great car, great highway cruiser.
Im a Crown member and founder for GQVQS Central florida chapter so I pretty much am surrounded by a bunch of Infinitis on my free time lol, A handful of our members are 3.7's including myself and weve all had slightly different experiences with it. However all in all the engine is pretty much bullet proof, I just hit 100k recently on mine and the only major issue was the valve body going out on me. Theres some small issues that I notify every 3.7 hr owner I meet because iv yet to see a 3.7 without it unless they already fixed it. Im personally torn because im looking into selling before I get more mileage on it to eventually either get a 3.0 or another 3.7 since I still love the platform. I bought mine back in either 2019 or 2020 with about 60k miles so far the market is shooting up for my vehicle but dont want to have to wait 3+ years in order to get another one 😢.
My mom drives a 2018 Q50. Its always a joy to drive it. But I would opt for 3.7L. I hate how the turbos are so fragile in most turbo-charged cars today :(
I had a 2015 q50 base model loved the car never did any mods other than a straight pipe with 2.75 in pipe after the cats with a x pipe but before that only issue I had was 1 of the throttle bodies gave out and diagnosing and fixing myself wasn’t really a big issue ended up costing no more that 250 just bkz I did get new maf sensors just changed 1 throttle body and with my spark plugs oil etc and the throttle body failed at around 92xxx miles and I blame my ex for going through those ridiculous drive through car wash’s
I love my 2015 q50. I had it since 2018 & I had no problems until I built the bottom end and went single turbo loll. I’ll pick a 3.7 over a 3.0 any day.
I’m in the market for a 3.7, is there really any major differences between the sport and premium other than the bumper and brakes which can be changed aftermarket?
I bought the 2015 q50 3.7 last year in September cause my hand me down car broke down on me. I had to buy it in the high car market. Bought the car for 22k with 86k miles!! Ridiculous, but I really do enjoy this car as and do not regret my decision. Might be bias but it was my first car purchase ever but I love it.
@@noahpyke6091 In this market yeah. Dealers are literally adding 60k on top of msrp for new cars because it's crazy like that. New market used to be good but people started buying new instead of used and dealers are seeing that. That's how messed up the market is. I'm looking at 2015 q50s rn and a lot of 100k miles are at 18-22k. It's not bad for last year
@@zeppkfw the used car market is up because the manufacturers can’t get the computer chips needed for newer cars meaning they can’t sell new cars without them. Used car market is up because that’s all people can buy.
@@noahpyke6091 Because the used car buyers moved to just buying new cars since it had more value than used cars essentially increasing the demand for new cars which then led to dealers adding enormous markups or really, the market is messed up
My Car has 102k miles and I've got a leaky valve cover gasket. My breaks started squealing/grinding on my last ride so it's parked for abt a week till I can change them out. Other Than that, I've only replaced all 3 of my air filters, and cleaned the terminals of my battery once. Oh yeah, for some reason my back up camera flipped on me and it's now a mirror image so it's useless because it's more confusing than helpful. I haven't been able to figure out how to flip it back or why it's happened 🤔. I've had it for a bit over 2 years, it's been a great car so far.
I have a 2015 q50 3.7 awd with 24k original mules by me. Car has a few scratches but runs perfectly. I don't drove it much due to being a truck driver. Anyone interested hit me up. Black/black interior all bells and whistles.
In 2016 when I bought my used 2013 G37xS sedan I was 31 and confident it was an older person who leased it for its first 3 years. In 2022? All the lease returns that are "supposed to have been well maintained" are 3.0T models. Turbo in a daily? Nah. So you're right, getting a reliable 3.7 model from Infiniti's golden era comes down to vehicle history now. I would buy a known quantity (records) that is 6-8 years old over an unknown turbo car that is 3-4-5 years old. Manufacturers took BMW's cue from the 2000's and are now building in heavy vehicle repairs in their business models.
I love mine. I have the 2015 AWD it is quick and jut last week driving to Michigan I had it up to 130mph. The only real change I want to make is to add the paddle shifters. I have seen you video on the install and know it is easy to do. Just can not find them at a good price and when I do they are gone before I get there. I got mine in 2019 with 74,000 miles on it. Now has 84,000 I did change the battery, brakes and tires but that is something everyone has to do when owning a car. I did install a remote starter which took about 15-20 minutes to do. Over all it is a great car. I paid 17,000 with tax and was offered over $22,000 for it this past year.
Great video and overall, I really like my 2014 Q50S (90k miles) except for the break noise when I back up the car. I was told that it is a normal occurence with Q50s by the dealer and heard it's also common for Q50 cars driven in Florida. Would appreciate your thoughts.
@@kalidoulabghaly4329 yea same front bumper for all years u can put a red sport 2018-2022 bumper on a 2014. But the 2022 red sport doesn’t look aggressive to me aggressive at all
In the market for a Q50 with the 3.7, would prefer the sport but wondering if it’s worth the extra money since there’s a lot more base/premium ones for sale out there. Are there any big differences or is it just the front bumper and bigger brakes (which can be changed aftermarket anyway)?
I bought a used 2016 with 40K. I guess I wasn’t as lucky as other people. Turbo replacement, timing belt, rear differential seal replacement (some luckily still covered by powertrain), AC needed fixingz Disappointed
Your right some have been lucky. Too bad my factory warranty has covered nothing and has been a horrible car for me and mine is the 19 redsport. Really disappointed in it
@@michelleparker2053 after those repairs knock ✊🏿 on wood 🪵 things have been going okay. The tires are wear and tear, so don’t get too disappointed with that. Hopefully you’re still enjoying it
Actually no its not tear and wear. 5 sets in 36000 miles the replacing was due to the right front tire on 4 different sets has always got blown out due to a tear up by the rim. Im trying to enjoy it but after putting almost 10000 into it to fix the issues is making it not fun. Thankyiu for your response
my 2014 q50 red sport has 250,000 km on it now (150,000 miles) and drivetrain wise has given me no issues. just basically maintenance and send a few sensors here and there. overall a good car, would prefer a little bit more power for how heavy it is.
I live in los angeles & bought a salvage 2015 only to the front corner was hit but not the q60 rims that came with the car along with muffler delete, wing and diffuser for only 11,500 on 75,000 miles back in 2019. Valve body went out @ 100k but that was easily fixed for less 2k. Just find infiniti specialists, they are more practical than the dealer or even a shop.
Got one for 14 thousands the premium edition 2014 only thing I see is the raido is lacky but everything else is in point I love it still rides brand new if you take care of yo car it will last
my budget is around 10k and i found a 2014 with 178k miles on it, looks well maintained and I need something temporary until i’m able to upgrade. Is this too many miles? what specific parts should i look into?
Hey man I’ve been following you a while now since I own a q50 red sport. Can you tell me a couple of places that I can get a set of full downpipes for a decent price. Everywhere I look they’re always over $1000. Thanks man!
I would just look for lower down pipes if I were you. That might help bring the price down. I don't have any other suggestions other than the typical places to look for them. Z1 motorsports, Concept Z, check with AMS, Fast Intentions etc.
1/16/23 i was able to get my 3rd Q50 😂😂😂 my first 2 where 3.0t (2017and 2020Silver sport) and my first first car was a 6MT 370z. Now I have a 2014 Q50 3.7
Great video! I am looking at a 2015 q50 3.7 premium with 55k miles on it. The price I get is 21k. Is it a good deal? How do you think the price will be after 5 years when I want to sell it?
Price is a little high in my area, but wouldn't surprise me if you were in NY or Cali. Prices will continue to decline now, but it's hard to predict a value because of what they are trying to do with electric. In normal circumstances, I would say the 3.7 Q would be worth low teens in 5 years. Like what G37s are going for now.
I just bought my friends 2015 AWD q50 3.7 89,000 miles for a lil over 19k. Tinited windows, upgraded air intake, upgraded full break system, wood accents, nav system, bose. Thoughts??
Should I get 2015 3.7 or 2016 and up twin turbo used ? Because I heard twin turbo engine not fuel efficient and be having engine problems once u reach a certain mileage
@@countinguh it’s a car that has been either declared a total loss for a insurance company because of a accident. If you’re going for something that has a salvage title it’s going to be hard to put insurance on it because the car has already been declared a total loss once so they don’t want to risk that again. People salvage title cars or rebuilt cars because they are cheaper but it comes with a cost of maybe not being able to get insurance and it’s hard to sell them back.
I want one over the newer turbo models because those are all direct injection, which I believe is why people end up having turbo problems so early on. I’d rather have the 3.7 port injected and maybe later throw the stillen v3 charger kit on it.
@@Joshua-nn6dz unfortunately I live in California and the Costco I purchase gas at costs me $6.80 last time I fueled up and it cost literally $100.00 for 16.80 gallons
Yeah definitely but my car right now with a V6 gets similar gas mileage without twin turbos so I think I'll take the extra power for the same gas mileage lol that the 3.7 gets ya know
Bought a 2015 q50 two months ago and the coolant is leaking 🥲 only put 2,000 miles on it. Mechanic says head gasket most likely. Is this common on a 53,000 miles car?
@@SpeedCultureStudios my friend wants to sell me his 2015 q50 for 7k @ 140k miles. I currently have a 2015 Honda accord, do you think it’s worth it. It’s in good condition still and has 10k miles of warranty left and the title will be given to me.
This is from just what I’ve heard, but they say that the 3.0t (twin turbos) have a lot of problems when you mod. The 3.7 will be more reliable when tuning your car as to why I’m going with the 3.7
2014 3.7, just hit 155k absolutely no issues just basic maintenance. Mostly hwy miles.

I bought a 2015 q50. 61k miles I love it
My mom drives a 2018 Q50. Its always a joy to drive it. But I would opt for 3.7L. I hate how the turbos are so fragile in most turbo-charged cars today :(
I had a 2015 q50 base model loved the car never did any mods other than a straight pipe with 2.75 in pipe after the cats with a x pipe but before that only issue I had was 1 of the throttle bodies gave out and diagnosing and fixing myself wasn’t really a big issue ended up costing no more that 250 just bkz I did get new maf sensors just changed 1 throttle body and with my spark plugs oil etc and the throttle body failed at around 92xxx miles and I blame my ex for going through those ridiculous drive through car wash’s
I love my 2015 q50. I had it since 2018 & I had no problems until I built the bottom end and went single turbo loll. I’ll pick a 3.7 over a 3.0 any day.
I’m in the market for a 3.7, is there really any major differences between the sport and premium other than the bumper and brakes which can be changed aftermarket?
Great content btw I love that u always go into detail bro 👍👍🤙🏼🤙🏼
Thanks a lot!
Great video looking to purchase a 2015 next week.
You’ll enjoy!
I bought the 2015 q50 3.7 last year in September cause my hand me down car broke down on me. I had to buy it in the high car market. Bought the car for 22k with 86k miles!! Ridiculous, but I really do enjoy this car as and do not regret my decision. Might be bias but it was my first car purchase ever but I love it.
22k isn't too bad especially for last year
@@zeppkfw for a car that already had 86k miles and was 6 years old? That’s pretty bad. Kept half msrp brand new
@@noahpyke6091 In this market yeah. Dealers are literally adding 60k on top of msrp for new cars because it's crazy like that. New market used to be good but people started buying new instead of used and dealers are seeing that. That's how messed up the market is. I'm looking at 2015 q50s rn and a lot of 100k miles are at 18-22k. It's not bad for last year
@@zeppkfw the used car market is up because the manufacturers can’t get the computer chips needed for newer cars meaning they can’t sell new cars without them. Used car market is up because that’s all people can buy.
@@noahpyke6091 Because the used car buyers moved to just buying new cars since it had more value than used cars essentially increasing the demand for new cars which then led to dealers adding enormous markups or really, the market is messed up
My Car has 102k miles and I've got a leaky valve cover gasket. My breaks started squealing/grinding on my last ride so it's parked for abt a week till I can change them out. Other Than that, I've only replaced all 3 of my air filters, and cleaned the terminals of my battery once. Oh yeah, for some reason my back up camera flipped on me and it's now a mirror image so it's useless because it's more confusing than helpful. I haven't been able to figure out how to flip it back or why it's happened 🤔. I've had it for a bit over 2 years, it's been a great car so far.
There is a process for flipping the camera. I can’t recall now but I’ve heard it happening to others.
I have a 2015 q50 3.7 awd with 24k original mules by me. Car has a few scratches but runs perfectly. I don't drove it much due to being a truck driver. Anyone interested hit me up. Black/black interior all bells and whistles.
U in la
@@julian1eon Sorry Brooklyn N.Y. my guy
Unbelievable amount of thorough information. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
In 2016 when I bought my used 2013 G37xS sedan I was 31 and confident it was an older person who leased it for its first 3 years. In 2022? All the lease returns that are "supposed to have been well maintained" are 3.0T models. Turbo in a daily? Nah. So you're right, getting a reliable 3.7 model from Infiniti's golden era comes down to vehicle history now. I would buy a known quantity (records) that is 6-8 years old over an unknown turbo car that is 3-4-5 years old. Manufacturers took BMW's cue from the 2000's and are now building in heavy vehicle repairs in their business models.
You’re right on the money!
My G37xS just got totaled but that was the best car I’ve ever driven. Loved that car hope you enjoy it if you still have it
@@TheNINDLE I do. Still love it to death. Very sorry to hear. Also a very scary thought for this guy.
my 2014 q50 at about 118k miles my radiator just went out but easy fix other than that no problems original owner hopefully notin else goes wrong
Is it worth buying a 14’ with over 100 miles on it for a daily?
I love mine. I have the 2015 AWD it is quick and jut last week driving to Michigan I had it up to 130mph. The only real change I want to make is to add the paddle shifters. I have seen you video on the install and know it is easy to do. Just can not find them at a good price and when I do they are gone before I get there. I got mine in 2019 with 74,000 miles on it. Now has 84,000 I did change the battery, brakes and tires but that is something everyone has to do when owning a car. I did install a remote starter which took about 15-20 minutes to do. Over all it is a great car. I paid 17,000 with tax and was offered over $22,000 for it this past year.
Where did you get the remote starter ?
Link for the remote starter ?
@@angelalcaraz1990 It will not let me post it here. I have tried 3 times

Hey where did you go to get a offer to see how much it’s worth ???
finally someone who knows what there talking about
Well thanks!
i made a 4k profit after driving 30k miles on my base model from carvana but i missed it so much i ended up another one
Smart man lil quick free gas money for the year 😂
Great video and overall, I really like my 2014 Q50S (90k miles) except for the break noise when I back up the car. I was told that it is a normal occurence with Q50s by the dealer and heard it's also common for Q50 cars driven in Florida. Would appreciate your thoughts.
U should do the red sport front bumper conversion makes the car look completely different I just did mines looks sick
i’m not a car guy but can you put a red sport bumper on a pure regular q50
@@kalidoulabghaly4329 yea same front bumper for all years u can put a red sport 2018-2022 bumper on a 2014. But the 2022 red sport doesn’t look aggressive to me aggressive at all
All you needed was the front bumper? Headlights, grill, etc ?
@@Boost_ej1 bumper, grill and the bezels that’s all
@@Blasian_guy where did you find the parts junkyard?
In the market for a Q50 with the 3.7, would prefer the sport but wondering if it’s worth the extra money since there’s a lot more base/premium ones for sale out there. Are there any big differences or is it just the front bumper and bigger brakes (which can be changed aftermarket anyway)?
Check out my video about why I chose the base Q50--touches on the main differences, which you already pointed out.
@@SpeedCultureStudios which video?
I bought a used 2016 with 40K. I guess I wasn’t as lucky as other people. Turbo replacement, timing belt, rear differential seal replacement (some luckily still covered by powertrain), AC needed fixingz Disappointed
Some definitely had worse luck than others… lucky for some warranty though!
Your not the only unlucky one ive had steering braking alignment and tire blows since i bought mine brand new 2019 redsport
Your right some have been lucky. Too bad my factory warranty has covered nothing and has been a horrible car for me and mine is the 19 redsport. Really disappointed in it
@@michelleparker2053 after those repairs knock ✊🏿 on wood 🪵 things have been going okay. The tires are wear and tear, so don’t get too disappointed with that. Hopefully you’re still enjoying it
Actually no its not tear and wear. 5 sets in 36000 miles the replacing was due to the right front tire on 4 different sets has always got blown out due to a tear up by the rim. Im trying to enjoy it but after putting almost 10000 into it to fix the issues is making it not fun. Thankyiu for your response
How about 2023???
my 2014 q50 red sport has 250,000 km on it now (150,000 miles) and drivetrain wise has given me no issues. just basically maintenance and send a few sensors here and there. overall a good car, would prefer a little bit more power for how heavy it is.
Red sport was out in 2014?
I’m looking to buy a 2014 Q50S awd as a first car found one for 14.5K with 96K miles
Take a good look at it!
Just got my 2013 g37 stolen now I think ima get a 2015 q50 3.7
Damn that sucks!
I’m thinking of getting a 2015 for 15k and has 100,000 should is still get it?
I recently bought a 2014 Q50 3.7 with 113,000 miles for 15,000 I don’t know if that’s a good deal the car is great no leaks
Prices are high now so that’s probably about right. If it was taken care of, I’m sure it’ll be a good car for many miles for you!
I live in los angeles & bought a salvage 2015 only to the front corner was hit but not the q60 rims that came with the car along with muffler delete, wing and diffuser for only 11,500 on 75,000 miles back in 2019. Valve body went out @ 100k but that was easily fixed for less 2k. Just find infiniti specialists, they are more practical than the dealer or even a shop.
@@tim.e.la8 did you ever get the car registered with a rebuilt title if so how much did you pay and did you go to the DMV or AAA
My co worker said he’s willing to sell me his which has Uber 25k miles. For 15k. Crazy deal in this market.
Take it!
I recently purchased a 2015 Q50 Sport with 43,500k miles for $20k. Do you think I got it for a good deal?
Seems a little high honestly but prices vary quite a lot depending on where you’re from
How's your Q50 doing?
Got one for 14 thousands the premium edition 2014 only thing I see is the raido is lacky but everything else is in point I love it still rides brand new if you take care of yo car it will last
I'm so buying one!!!!
Do it!
Problem would be finding one in mint condition with low miles. Then as you said the ridiculous prices.
Hard to find with lower mikes these days. Many of them were lease cars or family cars so they have racked up the miles over the last 8 years
66k for the one I just recently got.
Just bought a 2015 q50S with 17k on the odometer. Paid a quite a bit but entirely worth the cost.
Im bout to get a 2015 q50 3.7…it’s nice and better than the 3.0t even if it’s faster but has a lot of issues over 88k mileage with turbo .
Yes it is cuz I just bought a second one in July 😎
There’s nothing wrong with the interior, people complaining is why interiors have gone to shit with all the touch screens and LEDs 🤦🏻♂️
Can you put factory remote start on a 2015 3.7 q50 ?
my budget is around 10k and i found a 2014 with 178k miles on it, looks well maintained and I need something temporary until i’m able to upgrade. Is this too many miles? what specific parts should i look into?
If it seems clean and we’ll maintained, there are a lot of them out there with well over 150k miles
Hey man I’ve been following you a while now since I own a q50 red sport.
Can you tell me a couple of places that I can get a set of full downpipes for a decent price. Everywhere I look they’re always over $1000. Thanks man!
I would just look for lower down pipes if I were you. That might help bring the price down. I don't have any other suggestions other than the typical places to look for them. Z1 motorsports, Concept Z, check with AMS, Fast Intentions etc.
Just bought mine 62k mikes for 25k you think I got a steal?
It’s a 2015 q50 3.7 btw
I got it back in 2018. It was just normal pricing then lol
It was in 2021 when I grabbed mine and it still is.
Excellent!
1/16/23 i was able to get my 3rd Q50 😂😂😂 my first 2 where 3.0t (2017and 2020Silver sport) and my first first car was a 6MT 370z. Now I have a 2014 Q50 3.7
It’s just a beautiful car.
I have to agree!
Great video! I am looking at a 2015 q50 3.7 premium with 55k miles on it. The price I get is 21k. Is it a good deal? How do you think the price will be after 5 years when I want to sell it?
Price is a little high in my area, but wouldn't surprise me if you were in NY or Cali. Prices will continue to decline now, but it's hard to predict a value because of what they are trying to do with electric. In normal circumstances, I would say the 3.7 Q would be worth low teens in 5 years. Like what G37s are going for now.
Any idea on what size rims and tires are on the car? The bbs looking rims…
Thanks! ua-cam.com/video/i2FqGD9R_3k/v-deo.html

2016 Red Sport 400 3.0T With 70k Miles for 15k , What’s your Intake on it?
Sounds like a really good deal. Anything wrong with it?
I just bought my friends 2015 AWD q50 3.7 89,000 miles for a lil over 19k. Tinited windows, upgraded air intake, upgraded full break system, wood accents, nav system, bose. Thoughts??
Wantes to add he hasn't had any mechanical issues at all the past 3 years, drove it 50k miles
Should I get 2015 3.7 or 2016 and up twin turbo used ? Because I heard twin turbo engine not fuel efficient and be having engine problems once u reach a certain mileage
They are good cars if we’ll maintained
On the fence between an is350 and a Q50
Tough one!
Totaled my 2015 Lexus Im kinda sick but looking into the 3.7 if possible hybrid would be idea and regardless used cars u should get a warranty
Glad you’re ok!
Warranties are, more often than not, a huge waste of money.
I am rocking the Forgestar f14 on my q50 as well.
I’m looking at a premium q50 for 14k, what’s ur thoughts? It has 130k miles to it
Just make sure you look it over well and get service records if possible
2014 Infiniti q50 3.7 premium 71k miles 20k on carvana. Is it worth it?
Seems a little high and carvana has been a little sketchy lately so I’d avoid if possible. That’s just my opinion
get one at carmax they got full coverage on the car up to 125k and if you get one at 55k miles you will be covered up to 4 to 5 years
How much mileage would you consider to be a good mileage to purchase a 2015 Q50?
75,000 or less ideally but if it’s been taken car of, any mileage is fine I’m sure
Thanks! I’ve been trying to find the right one with decent miles. Don’t want to hop in to a car just to repair it.
3.7 2015 with 44,000 miles. Asking for 25k, should I take it?
Seems a little high but it depends where you are too.
I’m in the market for a 2015 q50 with 72k miles, do you think it could get to 125k without any major issues? Clean CARFAX and no mods
Every car is a little different so it’s tough to say. Many have made it well beyond 125k already. Maintenance is key
I have 2015 Q50 with 119,000 miles on it. No problems at all. All I’ve done to it was basic maintenance
I just bought a 2015 Q50 premium with 58,000 miles for 15,000 salvaged tittle but only had rear bumper damage
@@JuanRodriguez-rt8wr what does salvaged title mean
@@countinguh it’s a car that has been either declared a total loss for a insurance company because of a accident. If you’re going for something that has a salvage title it’s going to be hard to put insurance on it because the car has already been declared a total loss once so they don’t want to risk that again. People salvage title cars or rebuilt cars because they are cheaper but it comes with a cost of maybe not being able to get insurance and it’s hard to sell them back.
2015 q50s 3.7 awd, 122k miles, price hits at 12k? Good or bad ?
Not bad if it’s in good condition
I want one over the newer turbo models because those are all direct injection, which I believe is why people end up having turbo problems so early on. I’d rather have the 3.7 port injected and maybe later throw the stillen v3 charger kit on it.
You need to walnut blast direct injection vehicles
But but spooley boys
Would yall recommend this for a first car?
Yes
How does it perform in winter with winter tires?
I’ve heard it doesn’t do too bad.
Before purchasing I would also consider gas prices and obviously how you plan to drive it.
You not lying
Definitely one reason I had to point out the mileage in the video. It’s getting ridiculous out here!
@@SpeedCultureStudios I’m in Texas crying about $5 a gallon for premium….meanwhile there are those paying nearly $10 a gallon!!!
@@Joshua-nn6dz unfortunately I live in California and the Costco I purchase gas at costs me $6.80 last time I fueled up and it cost literally $100.00 for 16.80 gallons
Yeah definitely but my car right now with a V6 gets similar gas mileage without twin turbos so I think I'll take the extra power for the same gas mileage lol that the 3.7 gets ya know

Bought a 2015 q50 two months ago and the coolant is leaking 🥲 only put 2,000 miles on it. Mechanic says head gasket most likely. Is this common on a 53,000 miles car?
Where is it leaking from? If you're actually seeing it leak, my first thought is not head gasket.

I have a question of getting a pop and bang tune ruin your car or have any downside to it?
This is from just what I’ve heard, but they say that the 3.0t (twin turbos) have a lot of problems when you mod. The 3.7 will be more reliable when tuning your car as to why I’m going with the 3.7
It’s not great for your engine or exhaust components. Moderation is key.
