| Price of the Infiniti M: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 275-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Buying a luxury car after it was owned for 26 months and driven 27K resulted in a 20k reduction from MSRP when I purchased. I plan to drive this car for and additional 10 years. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 280-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Beats out competition for price and standard features. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 280-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Buy a used M35, approx 2 - 3 years old with low mileage and get an unbelievable deal. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 340-horsepower 4.5L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
because of this cars tremendous (undeserved) depreciation I was able to pick up a great condition two year old car with less than 20k for about 40% of msrp |
| Price of the Infiniti M: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 275-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Much less expensive than a similar BMW or Mercedes, but still looks too much like an Altima to cost so much. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 325-horsepower 4.5L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
New? 35% higher than it should be. Used, holds its value pretty well...two to three year depreciation is 50%+/- |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 275-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
$45,000 for a car that is not much if any better |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 275-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
2007 was a bargin. 2008 lease prices up an additional $100-150 per month for no additional options or performance. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 280-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Pretty high for this size of car. Best way to buy is used, low mileage. |

| 2010 | 4dr Sedan, ext. 357-horsepower 4.6L V8 8-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
These are expensive cars to buy. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 290-horsepower 4.3L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD |
Was expensive used compared to Germans, Lexus dealers hard to negotiate with. |
