The INFINITI Q60 is a striking sport coupe that embodies a blend of luxury and performance, attracting enthusiasts across New Jersey. Launched in 2017, the V37 generation replaced the G37 Coupe, establishing a new Q-series nomenclature. Owners often find themselves driven by passion, whether upgrading to a higher trim, returning a lease, or experiencing project-car fatigue. As the Q60 ages, more vehicles enter the donation pipeline, allowing others to appreciate its artistry and engineering.
In New Jersey, where the tuner scene thrives alongside track day events, the Q60 stands out with its powerful 3.0t V6 twin-turbo engine. The enthusiast community celebrates its sporty credentials, making it a sought-after model despite its discontinuation in 2022. Whether you own a Pure, Luxe, Sport, or the coveted Red Sport variant, your donation can help continue the legacy of the Q60 and support great causes.
📖Generation guide
V37 Q60 • 2017-2022
The sole generation under the Q60 nameplate, offering a sporty two-door coupe experience with an emphasis on luxurious performance. Available trims range from Pure to the enthusiast-favored Red Sport 400.
G37 Coupe • 2008-2015
The predecessor to the Q60, utilizing the V36 chassis and VQ37VHR V6. While the G37 laid the groundwork, the Q60 elevated the dynamic driving experience with its new design language.
Known issues by generation
The INFINITI Q60 V37 generation has its share of model-specific issues. Owners have reported timing-chain stretch, particularly on tracked Red Sport 400 examples, alongside complaints of shift quality with the 7-speed Jatco automatic transmission. Additionally, earlier models (2017-2018) displayed paint defects, such as clear-coat peeling. Reliability challenges with the Direct Adaptive Steering (DAS) system, as well as turbo health under sustained loads, have also been noted. Infotainment lag and blind-spot module failures are further concerns, making a diligent inspection and service history assessment essential for prospective donors.
Donation value by condition + generation
When considering the donation value of your INFINITI Q60, the halo trim Red Sport 400 stands out, often commanding enthusiast premiums in the market. Generally, low-mileage examples with a clean service history can reach appraisals over $5k, necessitating Form 8283 Section B for qualified donations. Automatic vs manual transmission and AWD configurations also impact value, with the latter offering advantages in snowy conditions. Aftermarket modifications can either enhance or complicate appraisal nuances, depending on the quality and impact of the upgrades.

New Jersey regional notes
New Jersey's unique automotive landscape provides a vibrant community for Q60 owners. With nearby tracks and a concentration of tuners, enthusiasts can fully enjoy their sport coupes. However, being in a salt-belt state, owners should be aware of corrosion risks on aluminum and composite body panels. Many garage-stored Q60s may also emerge as potential donations, helping to cultivate the local enthusiast scene.
