The INFINITI Q60, produced from 2017 to 2022, marked the transition from the G37 Coupe to a new era of performance under the Q-series naming convention. Owners in Birmingham can experience the thrill of driving a rear-wheel-drive coupe that blends power and elegance. As these vehicles age, many find themselves ready to move on—whether through lease returns, upgrading to the latest model, or confronting project-car fatigue.
Heartfelt Rides is here to celebrate that journey. We recognize that your Q60 might be more than just a car; it's a piece of art, a symbol of sportiness, and a testament to driving passion. By donating your Q60, you not only pass on your vehicle's legacy but also support a cause that resonates with fellow automotive enthusiasts in the Birmingham area.
📖Generation guide
V37 Q60 • 2017-2022
The sole generation under the Q60 nameplate, featuring the 3.0t V6 twin-turbo engine in both standard and Red Sport 400 trims.
N/A • N/A
The Q60 replaced the previous G37 Coupe, evolving from a traditional sports coupe to a more refined and powerful machine.
Known issues by generation
While the V37 Q60 is celebrated for its dynamics and style, certain issues warrant attention. The VR30DDTT 3.0t V6 can experience timing-chain stretch, particularly in tracked Red Sport variants. Other complaints include the 7-speed Jatco automatic's slow downshift response and harsh shifts in Sport mode. Certain 2017-2018 models may suffer from clear-coat peeling, and the Direct Adaptive Steering (DAS) system poses reliability concerns, leading to expensive repairs if fault codes arise. Furthermore, potential turbo cooling issues under high-load conditions and occasional infotainment lag are also reported.
Donation value by condition + generation
The donation value of the Q60 can vary significantly based on its condition and trim. The Red Sport 400 variant, with its powerful 400hp output, typically holds the strongest residuals, often reaching collector status in the market due to its scarcity. Cars maintained in pristine condition, particularly with lower mileage, can command $5k+ appraisals under IRS Form 8283 Section B. AWD models may provide more value in snow-prone areas compared to their RWD counterparts, while modifications can affect appraisal nuances, especially if they enhance performance or aesthetics.
Donation process for this model
Donating your INFINITI Q60 through Heartfelt Rides is a straightforward process, but we recommend certain preparations. Given the vehicle's low clearance, a flatbed is required for transport. If your Q60 has been tracked or upgraded, please disclose this information upfront. Documentation of BBR or other aftermarket modifications is essential, and having service records for gear oil and coolant changes can further bolster the appraisal process.
Birmingham regional notes
Birmingham boasts a vibrant automotive community, with many Q60 owners sharing a passion for tuning and performance modifications. The proximity to local tracks offers enthusiasts a space to explore the limits of their vehicles. However, as the Q60 ages, there’s an increasing risk of corrosion, especially on aluminum and composite body panels due to salt exposure. Garage-stored vehicles are more likely to attract interested donors, keeping the spirit of the sport coupe alive in our community.
