Many INFINITI Q60 owners in Georgia find themselves at a crossroads—whether to trade up, embrace aftermarket performance, or part ways with their beloved sport coupe. The V37 generation from 2017 to 2022, with its captivating design and thrilling driving dynamics, has become a favorite among tuning communities and enthusiasts alike. Yet, as the Q60 has been discontinued, owners are increasingly turning to options like donor programs to ensure their vehicle is appreciated while benefiting worthy causes.
Georgia’s vibrant car culture, coupled with a rich history of track days and automotive meet-ups, keeps the spirit of these rear-wheel-drive coupes alive. Whether you’re transitioning from a lease, upgrading, or experiencing project fatigue, donating your Q60 offers a meaningful way to pass on your vehicle’s legacy while supporting Vision Wheels’ mission. Your donation could pave the way for someone else to experience the joy of driving an INFINITI coupe.
📖Generation guide
V37 Q60 • 2017-2022
The sole generation under the Q60 nameplate, known for its sleek styling and powerful VR30DDTT engine in both 300hp and 400hp Red Sport variants.
V36 G37 Coupe • 2008-2015
The predecessor to the Q60, featuring the VQ37VHR V6; this model helped establish INFINITI's presence in the sport coupe segment.
Known issues by generation
The V37 Q60 is not without its quirks. Owners have reported timing-chain stretch concerns, particularly in high-mileage Red Sport 400 models that have seen track use. Additionally, the 7-speed Jatco automatic transmission is often criticized for sluggish downshifts and harsh cold shifts, especially in Sport mode. Paint defects were noted in early production years, with clear-coat peeling and delamination affecting aesthetic value. Unique to this generation is the Direct Adaptive Steering (DAS), which, while innovative, has prompted reliability complaints and expensive replacement costs when issues arise. Furthermore, sustained high-load driving can lead to turbo cooling issues and oil-pickup screen clogs, which may affect engine health.
Donation value by condition + generation
When assessing the donation value of an INFINITI Q60, the Red Sport 400 trim stands out, commanding a significant premium in the collector market—often surpassing the $5k threshold for Section B appraisal on low-mileage examples. The presence of AWD adds value, particularly in snow-prone areas, while RWD models are appealing for their sporty character. Donors should consider how aftermarket modifications may influence appraisal; well-documented upgrades can enhance value, whereas undiscussed track use might invite scrutiny.
Donation process for this model
Donating your INFINITI Q60 at Vision Wheels is a straightforward process. Since these sport coupes feature low ground clearance, a flatbed tow truck is required for transport. We ask donors to disclose if the vehicle has been tracked and to provide documentation for any BBR or aftermarket modifications. Additionally, service records related to gear oil and coolant are beneficial to assess engine health and ensure a smooth donation process. Our team is here to help you every step of the way!
Georgia regional notes
In Georgia, Q60 owners are part of a vibrant tuner community, with numerous track days and automotive events throughout the year. However, being in a salt-belt region raises concerns about corrosion on aluminum and composite body panels. Garage-stored, enthusiast-owned examples tend to hold their value better and are often well-maintained, making them prime candidates for donation. By participating in our program, you not only assist charities but also connect with a network of fellow automotive enthusiasts.
