This afternoon I test drove a 2001 QX4 and loved it so much that I bought it! I'm trading in a '98 Mountaineer with a 5.0 V-8, and can't believe how the Infiniti's 3.5 V-6 compares in power. I thought I'd be sorely disappointed with anything but a V-8. As for price, I was able to get $1,700 off the sticker after negotiating my trade in. Can't wait until Monday to pick it up!

Looking for advise from anyone who has test driven both the 2001 QX4 and the RX300 in terms to on road ride, acceleration, smoothness in powertrain, overall quietness, interior comfort.#7 of 2167 '01 QX4 vs. 4runner Limited by qx4tester
May 22, 2000 (2:09 pm)
I test drove both the latest 4runner limited and the '01 QX4 this weekend and here are my personal thoughts.I was amazed they are both priced about the same. I think the 4runner is overpriced so that the can take money off the stick to make you think you got a good deal. These two cars should not be priced the same.
The QX4 is a much classic and smoother vehicle. Options which seperates the QX4 from the 4runner are:
Really cool 6 cd player in the Qx4.
Rear and Frint Heated seats in the QX4 and not in the 4runner.
240hp and much better pick up.
Reclining rear seats in the Qx4.
The turning radius on the new QX4 is incredible.
Even though the manuals say the leg room is the same, the QX4 seems to feel roomier.
This is just my personal opinion, but I think hands down the QX4 is a much better vehicle.
One thing I don't like is the fact that all of the Infiniti dealers are saying that they are not negotiating the sticker price. I say someone in the previous posting said they got 1,700 off the sticker. I also say another posting that said there was 3 to 4 K, profit built into the QX4.
How can I find the true invoice price? You can't ask the sales guys? Is there a web page or something Edmunds offers?
If I have to wait until this winter or for the '01's to cool off in sales I will. Paying sticker to me sounds crazy. They're saying this because they know people are paying sticker and that they only have a few on the lot. Time is on our side. There is nothing which says we have to buy a car today. Interested in others thoughts though.
#8 of 2167 Just how much? by oasisiowa

I am thinking of buying a QX4 and am now wondering if I should get the 2001 rather than the 2000, considering the above comments. Just how much is the sticker price for the 2001 QX4? There is not a dealer in my area. Nissan tells me I am wasting my money and should buy the Pathfinder.#9 of 2167 Highly reconmended by dbcafyqx4

Just picked up my 2001 Titanium QX4 2 week ago. I have to say -- this is a great car/SUV. The acceleration, ride and comfort is similar to the RX300 but at a lower price (even if you pay MSRP). And the new styling change with the Xeon headlights really differentiates your from the other SUVs on the road. The car is so good, every morning my wife and I have a hard time choosing between the QX4 and my second car - an Acura Legend GS - a true sports sedan.As for price? In my case, I got the VPP discount (Nissan preferred vendor discount from my company) and got around $3500 off the MSRP. Check with your company to see if they deal with Nissan from a corporate level. But even without these additional savings, I would have gotten the QX4. In my neighborhood, every other house has a RX300 parked on the driveway. Frankly speaking, I am sick of looking at that car and forget about some the funky colors they have for 2000.
Lastly, the only way you might be able get some discounts for the QX4 is if you are willing to take some of the less popular colors. The titanium, white and black are the most popular. As for buyer's strategy, try walking from the Infiniti dealer and tell them your are going to the Lexus dealer across the street.

Hi,I put a deposit on a titantium 2001 and got $3300 off the sticker. Plus, I got them to throw in a number of accessories. It comes in a couple of weeks. I guess I got lucky.

My closest Infiniti dealer is 2 hrs. away and now I am wondering about the hassle of such a drive for all the warranty work that may pop up. The dealer claims that I won't need any, hmmmmm. Also the price seems far above the MSRP but maybe not all the options are included in the Edmunds number of 35,550. I was quoted 36,075 + 950 (sunrf)+600 (prem.pkg)+900 (sports pkg) and the frt/del of 525 = 38,525.Sounds as if customer satisfaction is quite high. I can't even view one in my community since there is no dealer nearby, I just happened to rent one while on vacation in Denver.
So now I am about to get serious on a 2001 Pathfinder LE which is $7000 cheaper. The price of the QX4 appears to be similar to the Toyota Limited 4x4.
Just looking for opinions.

I was recently quoted a $3000 discount on a 2001 QX4. Although I did not jump at it, I think that's a fairly good price. I lease a 98 Bmw 528i that will soon go back. I have yet to drive anything that is in the same league as the 5 series. But, as it is time for a change,and since no (reasonably priced) sedan is up to the challenge, I am looking seriously at the QX4. I would like to know customer satisfaction with the Q.#13 of 2167 by qx4tester

I wrote the original post on this page and apologize for the terrible grammer and spelling mistakes. I'd like to thanks those who have posted their own experiences. Knowing that others are getting 3k off the sticker helps a lot. Telling the sales person that there are others getting deals and that if I don't get the price I want, then I'm going to the Lexus dealer is a great idea. I also empathize with the person who lives 2 hours from the nearest infiniti dealer. There is only one dealer in Columbus, Ohio and they try to use that in their favor.I have looked at both the 2000 and the 2001 and I'd have a hard time buying the 2000. The number one complaint I've heard about the 2000 is the under powered engine. The 2001 definitely has much better pickup. There is nothing more frustrating then trying to get on a freeway and not having the power to kick it into gear. especially if you're spending 30 - 40 k for a vehicle. Power should not be an issue.
I admit that I have not looked at the pathfinder, but I'm not crazy about the body style. Resale must also be considered in spending the extra cash for the QX4. My understanding is that the pathfinders are going for about 31k. If you can get 3k off the QX4 which is typically stickering at 38,525, then that puts you at 35,525 which is only 4k over the pathfinder. I definitely think the QX4 is worth the extra 4k. Consider all of the features I listed above:
Really cool 6 cd player in the Qx4.
Rear and Frint Heated seats in the QX4 and not inthe 4runner.
240hp and much better pick up.Reclining rear seats in the Qx4.
The turning radius on the new QX4 is incredible.
Even though the manuals say the leg room is the
same, the QX4 seems to feel roomier.
The other thing I think we need to keep in mind is, don't let the salesperson tell you they're not dealing. Wait until the end of the month or even winter if you can. This time of year is probably the worst time to shop if looking for a deal.
YOEDDY,
What accessories were you able to get thrown in????
OASISIOWA,
Before you buy a 2000 definitely drive the 2001.
