Infiniti Qx60(Not Hybrid) vs Ford Explorer Platinum

simplegirl — Thu, 14 Jul 2016 15:27:54 GMT

I can't decide which would be a better choice so which one do you think? I basically just want to know infiniti or ford explorer & I already know I want to finance through penfed and I know what I need to do so I don't get denied I just can't decide on which vehicle.

To me it's not comparing Apples to Apples.

I trust reliability of Infiniti far more than Ford but I have not owned a Ford for a very long time so don't' have any recent history to base that on but have owned several Infiniti's.

I would think if you went Ford though, they might have 0% through Ford vs. penfed unless you want to try to get the Cash incentive vs the financing?

Looks like Infiniti is 1.9% for 60 months.

They pull EX only.

You need 680 for Tier 1-3 which would give you the 1.9%

You can probably fall lower and if you push, they can get a rate bump... just make it a tier 1 or no deal type of thing if it was an issue at all.

If you can't get lower than 1.9%

I've owned several Fords and 3 Infiniti's. Every Ford had some problem requring dealer repair while the Infinit's were problem free.

It really comes to how much financing u can get with ur credit score. Also look at what u will save getting financed through penfed (cash incentive) vs using captive lending which ford is good for the 0%

My neighbor is always trading his in on another. Can't be a bad car/suv. I would take the infiniti.

Now I'm wondering is the lincoln better or not because at first I wanted those to for the third row but now thats not important. Also I plan on bringing up my credit scores before I go for the car also wanting to put at least 10% down as a down payment. I did the stimulation which I know doesn't mean its likely to plan out that way but I should have a 703 equifax, 707 transunion, experian 671 by the time I want to get the car which is in July or December of 2017.

Go for the Lincoln. You would be surprised how many Times that 3 rd row and extra space will come in handy. We got the Explorer, and many times wished we would have gone for the Lincoln. Just my 2 cents.

If u want 3rd I'll go with the Acura MDX (7 seater) or Toyota Highlander (8 seater LE and LE plus model)(I own both) it's actually great vehicle for the pricing and they hold their value. I'm in California I paid 59k OTD for the mdx model with advance and entertainment and SH AWD and towing package (fully loaded got everything). The Toyota Highlander is a LE Plus AWD with towing I paid 38500 OTD for it (almost base model)

I don't know about reliability of Infiniti. I got a brand new infiniti in 2014 and it has broken down more than I can count. The good thing is it is still under warranty. I can't wait for the lease to be up.

OP, do your research about Infiniti cars before you take the plunge or even go unto the Infiniti car forums. All the best.

Yes. Since I got it in 2014, the car only has to date about 7,000 miles. Has been to the repairs with the dealer nine times and the battery changed four times. I keep getting calls from the "consumer affairs department" apologizing but I don't care any more.

The ultimate kicker was one time after picked it up from the dealer, I went to staples afterwards, parked it, went in, came out and the car just refused to start. I had to laugh... Whoah, a real piece of s**** that Q50.
