Fantastic price on the premium Infiniti Q60 coupe. Normal price is $62,900 + on-road costs (ORC). Deal is available until June 30.

The Infiniti Q60 is a premium semi-luxury 2-door coupe introduced in 2016. It competes directly with the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, BMW 4-series, Lexus RC, and Audi A5.

To compare this deal to it's rivals, see table below:

Infiniti Q60 $49,888 Power/torque: 155/350

Lexus RC300 $65,400+ORC 180/350
Merc C200 $66,400+ORC 135/300
Audi A5 $69,900+ORC 140/320
BMW 420i $70,900+ORC 135/270

Warranty:

Infiniti: 4 years/100,000km
Lexus: 4 years/100,000km
BMW: 3 years/unlimited
Mercedes: 3 years/unlimited
Audi: 3 years/unlimited

According to Redbook, a 2-year-old Infiniti Q60 GT is worth up to $46,400, meaning that if you took up this deal, your car might only lose $3,500 in value in the next 2 years. By comparison, a BMW 420i will have lost $20,000 in value in that same time period.

    Yeah, that's not how that works….

    • MrZ on 24/05/2018 - 23:44

      Yes, I realise that resale value over the past 2 years does not necessarily predict the next 2 years. I changed the text slightly to read that your car may only lose $3500.

        Look at this logically… say its mid 2020

        do you think you're going to get anyone to buy a 2018 q60 for $46k?

        the market for coupes isnt exactly bouyant besides the big time v8 sports coupes and here you have a 1,675kg 2.0 turbo four luxury Nissan…

        there's a reason these things arent selling at $62 and neither will they sell at $50

        protip: there is no such thing as a 2016 q60 so we have no historical data for how the q60 tracks

        however we do know how infiniti tracks on resale and its poor

        my opinion is that you will struggle to get $30k on this in 2020

        good luck out there or buy a v8 mustang

          @tonyjzx:

          Buying a V8 Mustang new, you will lose a lot. $65k new (on-road), many are now going for under $50k and only built in 2017. And the new 2018 model will be over $70k on road.

        • tonyjzx on 25/05/2018 - 00:09
          +17

          of course you lose a lot, thats what buying a car is

          but with a mustang you have a great chance of actually selling your car in 2, 3, 5 yrs time because people acutally want a v8 mustang so your resale is actually better than normal

          no one wants a q60 now or 2, 3, 5 yrs from now so you can have all the 'estimates' you want like you're only losing $3k in 2yrs but find someone who actually wants a 155kW coupe

          your supposed $3k loss is a fairy tale

          @tonyjzx: to be fair that base engine is the Mercedes-Benz 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine with 155kW/350Nm

          there is also a twin turbo 3.0-litre V6 engine - 298kW at 6400rpm and 475Nm between 1600 and 5200rpm.

          @MrZ:
          i think people buy cars in these price brackets because they want a particular cars’ look, feel , etc …….you don’t buy them as investments, you don’t buy them as basic cheap transport, and you probabaly have some cash to splash, and if it’s for business or private use also determines costs ( my money or the companies money)

          the value you get will be based on if you keep it for 2 years (ouch) , 5 years , or 10 years …… the value at the end of that period , the longer you keep it the better you you get from it as after a while the. depreciation tapers off.

          No sane person will buy 2014 old generation Q60 for $30k.

          The discount represents 20% off RRP and you can haggle Audi to get 20% off anyway.

          @rave75:

          Depending on the model, 20% might be light. I've bought an A6 retailing at $153k for $102k, and an SQ5 retailing at $128k for $100k. And then there's stuff like the new R8 Plus, lolololol. Without even asking, shortly after launch I was offered $85k off retail, and I'd posit that you could now get one brand new for at least $100k off. Audi really do follow the Godfreys model of retailing.

        • [Deactivated] on 25/05/2018 - 12:39

          @dwarves: Come on man, no one pays $130k for an SQ5. It’s a $100k car on the road. They can pull all the option bullshit spin on you, but no one pays over $100k for one.

        Redbook isn't really a good reference. It also tells you that a 2017 Q60 is worth up to $49,000 and 2018 one $62,900. It's just a sort of calculation based on the price provided by manufacturer.

        The sales figures are so dire , there is a very good chance that the brand may pull out of Australia all together , just like Saab and the very short lived Opel.

        If that happens the re sale value with fall through the floor , even further than it already has ……try selling a make and model of a car that doesn't exist anymore.

        I'm in the industry , and now almost NO ONE want's sedans or coup'es , nearly every car that's sold in Aus now is an SUV or a Ute , that only makes the situation for this vehicle.

        Also how peeved off would you be if you currently own one of these and did actually pay around 60K for one , the manufacturer has just shafted you , by a this 10 grand price cut , your car overnight is now instantly worth 10 grand less than it was yesterday.

    As a wildcard I suppose you could throw the Mustang Ecoboost into the mix, at $48,490 plus on-roads. With 233/432 it would blow all of these cars out of the water. But it's "luxury" features are somewhat laughable, fuel consumption poor, and resale not as strong. Plus there are no 2018 build Mustangs available - any being sold now were built last year.

      I don't understand the negs for this. Anyone actually tried the Stinger? Test it for yourselves & see the quality of it compared to say a C Class Merc - not much difference imo - yes, even the interior (I think the stingers interior is better than my new cars plus the fact it's a 4.5s twin turbo car). I was torn a couple of months ago between this but eventually went with the Merc (badge respect sadly - yes I belong to OzB).

      As to the Inifiniti - I looked at it but (and I'm a very big GTR fan) couldn't justify spending so much with resale value being so poor + build quality looked just the same as standard Nissan.

      However the fact it's got the same (better) Merc engine & drivetrain is a huge boost - Infiniti just needs to get it's act together in terms of interior features & layout.

    Great looking coupe. If only it didn't have Direct Adaptive Steering (electronic steering) which has been heavily criticised and a let down.. its less engaging for the driver and sensitive handling.

      …You'd buy one?

      Well good news for you, the GT model doesn't have the direct adaptive steering!
      I expect to hear an owners review in the coming months.

    It competes directly with the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, BMW 4-series, Lexus RC, and Audi A5.

    They wished they did. Infiniti has nothing on Lexus. Not sure about their quality against the euros.

      Never really understood the hype with Lexus cars. Thought they weren't attractive enough for a luxury car.

          Yep quality and craftsmanship in Lexus cars is above board. The cars may seem slower to introduce fancy tech but they are all about perfection and the human touch.

          @bryans: They just need the human touch on their designs.

          @bryans:

          I really like Lexus styling these days. Used to be about the ugliest premium cars around, now they're stunning (for me). They also seem a lot more generous with the options than the germans are, who as your car price increase, take more and more shit out and charge you more and more to put it back in. Eg, keyless entry being a standard in a Kia becomes a multi thousand dollar option on a Porsche. Similar for sun roofs, automatic braking, adaptive cruise control, blind spot warnings, etc. Lexus seem to tend to include more by default, and charge less in general for the extras.

          Haven't ever driven one though, but will be tempting when it comes time for my next car. Although I'd really like an Audi RS3.

      The UX is on my short list.

    What advantages does this motorcar have over say, a train, which I can also afford

      Not being packed like sardines in a can without ac is a big advantage.
