At an original sticker price of over $49k, this M45 came factory equipped with the Premium and Technology Packages which add climate-controlled seats, voice recognition, a color LCD navigation system, and more.

Driver amenities include a Bose Audio System, an 8-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support and 2-position memory, a leather-trimmed steering wheel, dual-zone automatic temperature control, power accessories, a rearview mirror integrated compass, and remote keyless entry. The optional Premium Package adds climate-controlled front seats, a power glass sunroof, and Infiniti Voice Recognition. The optional Technology Package also adds Intelligent Cruise Control as well as a DVD-based navigation system with a 7” color LCD display. An Alpine amplifier has been installed in the trunk and the seller reports the cabin to be in very good condition with all gauges and accessories working properly.
This M45 is powered by Nissan's VK45DE 4.5 L V8 engine which produces 340 HP and 333 lb.-ft of torque. The rear wheels are driven by way of a 5-speed automatic transmission with a manual shifting mode. Other performance features include four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, a sport-tuned independent front/rear suspension, Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC), Traction Control System (TCS), speed-sensitive power steering, and electronic brake-force distribution (EBD).

Sold for $6,900
No USB or Bluetooth.
@Cderrico looks like the seller might have missed you but I can tell you that was not available back then and this car looks stock to me. Better that way if you want my opinion. Good luck.

Does it have USB outlets or bluetooth capability?

@MarkofromTropoja It is certainly one of the nicest example I've seen since they were new.
The front windshield tint is 35% and the rest of the car is 20%.
If the winning bidder would like the tint removed, we would remove it free of charge. If you'd like it to be a different percentage tint, we have a tint shop that would install any percentage tint for $200 for the entire car minus front windshield. -Paul
This looks like a very nice example that hasn't been driven into the ground like so many on the used market. These cars have all the ingredients to be future classics: limited production run, polarizing style, and an ardent fan base. I almost bought one a few years ago but would have cost me triple the sale price to get it into the condition of this auction.
Seller, what % is the tint on the windshield? What about the rest of the windows? Looks like it would be illegal even here in South Carolina. Not a big expense to switch out the tint, but would factor into bidding.

Im sure many have never driven one of these. I will say it is absolutely a treat. Rear wheel drive, brute v8 power and luxurious refinement. A rare breed and a bargain in my opinion.

@sjaffer08 This M45 is rust free, the spot you're referring to in the engine bay is not rust, it is insulation that lost part of its black top layer.
Here is a video of the engine bay.

Any signs of rust? It appears from the photo's that there is some rust near ABS system.

@Nola05 The gas gauge works as it should. I'm not sure if it was replaced prior to my ownership. I'm linking a video below of a cold start, where you can see the gas gauge working perfectly.
I didn't notice any sign of oil consumption, I personally have put 907 miles between late December when I purchased it and the start of this auction. I enjoyed driving, it feels smooth, solid and well put together, reminds me of any flagship German saloon car from that era. I'm linking a video of a cold start where the tailpipe is visible.
I've also been reading in the forums that to help prevent or treat blue smoke on start up, a few M45 owner would install an oil catch cam or oil separator (very popular thing to do in the VW, Audi, Mini community, etc..).
I want to add that this M45 had a very thorough service performed at Daytona Infiniti in Daytona Beach, Florida as attested by the Carfax records. The service was performed on January 31st, 2020 and the car only drove 1135 miles since then, I'm sure if there was anything else that needed replacing, the owner would have done it as they went above and beyond on things that needed repairs and/or maintenance.
Here are a couple of cold start videos. -Paul

Hi Paul,
Can you confirm if the gas gauge has ever been replaced? It seems that gas gauge failure is a common issue on these and the only fix is a full gauge cluster replacement.
Also, is there any oil consumption? Any blue smoke from the tailpipe on cold start?
Thanks!
