The INFINITI Q60, produced from 2017 to 2022, stands as a pinnacle of luxury sport coupes in West Palm Beach, beloved by enthusiasts for its unique character and performance-oriented design. As the successor to the G37 Coupe, the Q60 introduced a new era with sleek lines, a potent 3.0t V6 twin-turbo engine, and a range of trims that cater to varied driving preferences. Typical donors in this region often include lease returns, upgrades from older models, or those facing project fatigue, contributing to a vibrant lifecycle for these stunning coupes.
With the discontinuation of the Q60 in 2022, these vehicles are becoming increasingly sought after, particularly the Red Sport 400 variant that boasts a thrilling 400hp. Whether you are upgrading to a newer model, interested in embracing the collector market, or simply looking to part with your beloved coupe, donating your Q60 is a way to pass it on to another enthusiast while supporting Palm Ride Exchange's mission.
📖Generation guide
V37 • 2017-2022
The V37 Q60 debuted with a fresh design language, featuring the 3.0t twin-turbo engine available in both 300hp and 400hp Red Sport variants. This generation marks the transition from the G-series to Q-series naming.
Known issues by generation
While the V37 Q60 is celebrated for its performance, it is not without issues. Some Red Sport 400 models have reported timing-chain stretch, particularly under aggressive driving conditions. Additionally, the 7-speed Jatco automatic transmission has faced criticism for its slow downshift response in Sport mode and harsh shifts in cold conditions. The 2017-2018 models also show potential paint defects, including clear-coat delamination. The unique Direct Adaptive Steering (DAS) system has raised reliability concerns, making thorough service history checks essential for potential donors, especially those looking to maintain value.
Donation value by condition + generation
Donation values for the INFINITI Q60 significantly depend on trim level and condition. The Red Sport 400, known for its potent performance, often retains the highest resale and donation values, sometimes surpassing $5k for low-mileage examples. Manual transmission variants may command more in enthusiast circles, while AWD cars are valued higher in colder markets. Modifications from BBR tuners can alter appraisals, so complete documentation of any changes will help optimize donation value.
Donation process for this model
Donating your Q60 requires specific considerations due to its sport coupe nature. A low-clearance flatbed is necessary to ensure safe transport. If your vehicle has been tracked, full disclosure is important, as is any documentation of aftermarket modifications. Service records for gear oil and coolant changes can positively influence the appraisal process, providing a clearer picture of the vehicle's maintenance history.
West Palm Beach regional notes
West Palm Beach boasts a vibrant tuner community, with plenty of opportunities for track days nearby. However, owners should be mindful of salt-belt corrosion risks affecting aluminum and composite body panels common in coastal climates. Many Q60 owners take pride in garage-storing their vehicles, which adds to the appeal and potential value of these cars as donations to Palm Ride Exchange.
