This month we're plugging a funny video about the Infiniti IPL and the fact that our salesman was completely misinformed about why it is called the IPL, discovering only in the end that he has completely embarrassed himself. Take a peek if you have an extra couple of minutes.
• 2014 Infiniti Q60 IPL ...
Hi, this is Joe Tunney bringing to you a comprehensive catalogue of hundreds of great vehicles from throughout the automobile industry. Although we specialize in Acura, BMW, Lexus, Mercedes, sports cars, SUV's and of course our beloved Infiniti product line, we also like to carry and review exotic cars from time to time like Ferrari, Dodge Viper, turbocharged all-wheel-drive cars like Mitsubishi Evo, Honda S2000 and Subaru WRX, as well as affordable vehicles that fit into every budget like the 2006 Pontiac G6 GTP. For 2014 we are going to make a point of reviewing everything we carry, demonstrating for you the interior and exterior features and condition, the wheels and tires, trunk space, as well as an overview of power, technology, economy and driving characteristics to give you factual information as well as information unique to this particular vehicle so that you can enjoy a more intelligent shopping experience without ever having to step onto the lot.
A little about me. I have been the manager at Infiniti of Kirkland since 2004 and prior to that I ran a high end car boutique in neighboring Bellevue, Washington. For my career I have sold over 10,000 cars so I hope to bring you far more insight than you might ever know to even ask. I show you in some videos how to see if a car has been in an accident, how to make a great buy on a car with a bad Carfax, or why I wouldn't personally buy a car even if it has favorable reviews. Every once in a while I'll even have a little fun to keep the videos fresh but I want to make certain you know that you can always email me at joet@infinitiofkirkland.com if you ever have any questions or feel I have made a mistake or used poor judgment or poor taste.
I am truly thankful for the hundreds of thousands of views and more importantly, perhaps much more importantly, I am honored to have been viewed in over 200 countries around the world. We all are ambassadors for the things we believe in regardless of where we were born and from my little corner of the world here outside of Seattle, Washington I want to express my sincere gratitude for you having invited me into your home, your place of work, or for simply taking a minute of your valuable time to listen to what I have to say. Maybe we will never meet face to face, but I am forever in your debt for giving me the opportunity to share with you the things I have learned.bbbPontiac G6 2006. Pontiac G6 2007.

My car has 170,000 miles on it. Has only had a check engine light come on once because I needed to replace a thermostat which was less than $30 to fix. I have taking my car to Texas multiple times and California Utah Nevada and other states. I am a speedster and highly recommend this car.

I got the 3.5 g6 2006 195000 miles, bought it for 1600 and it's a great cruiser up and down these Houston streets...Great work car, now I just need a suv for me and my sons
I had a silver 06 GTP, with a cold air intake, 2.5 inch cat back exhaust and a dyno tune. Was a fun car to drive. Sold it 5 years ago today with 175 000 km on it. Really miss that thing and regret selling it sometimes but I needed something bigger.
You completely forgot to mention the feature of the back seats going forward and how well they actually fit for cargo in the back. The two grey knobs can be pulled from the trunk. :)
I still have mine and still running strong at 82,000 miles I love my G6

I have had alot of parts from major tune up, water pump, all the pulley tensioners, the ac compressor, upper and lower radiator hoses which is kind of pricey for some hoses, the radiator, all the engine and transmission mounts,belt, power steer line that sits by the catalytic converter, front and back brakes and rotors, tie end rods inner and outer, sway bar, both front and back wheel hub assembly, front and back struts and shocks alone with an alignment, coolant temp sensor, attempted to replace the oil pressure sensor with an after market one from advance an all kinds of codes with check engine like came on car was riding rough till i put the original oil pressure sensor back it lights went out and rode good once again so i left that part alone, 4 correct size tires from when i bought it previous owner had 225 40 r18 on it put new 225 50 r 18 tires back on due to the 225 40 r18 tires constantly busting, and i had to replace the control arms 3 times on it placed on it including rebuilding the transmission infact the only thing i aint replaced is the engine itself and of course normal mobil 1 high mileage synthetic oil. Been trouble free with it basically rides like a new car. When i got it had 149k on it im 10k from reaching 200k an it still ride and looks good. I get compliments how good it looks and ride.
