Default How to save a bunch of $$$ if you want to buy an Infiniti QX80

Just buy yourself a new 2017 Nissan Patrol(cough Armada). Same truck, looks like you will pay less for better styling IMO.

Honestly in terms of interior space and seating, it straight up has the Land Cruiser/LX and short wheelbase GM SUV's beat. Plus its $30,000 cheaper than a Land Cruiser. Personally I like the interior design better than what GM is offering with its big SUV's, and it feels like its screwed together a lot better than what GM is offering IMO.

1) The interior is aging.
2) The infotainment is stuck in the old days
3) The safety system was quite good. Nowdays its just on par. The camera system needs to move up from the 480 SD resolution
4) The exterior is gorgeous compared to the QX
5) No one pays full price on the QX. And $10-15k was achievable at one point due to slow sales. I would first search the QX and then go from there.
6) The Pathfinder is lacking locking diff (if that really matters to the 0.000001 minority who need it)
