I was just reading an article from 24/7 Wallstreet that is talking about the nine brands that Americans keep the longest. Infiniti came in 6th overall, but I thought the blurb in the quote below about the FX being the 6th best car in terms of resale value was pretty cool.

> Average age when turned in: 6.10 years
> Change from previous year: 7.2% (13th most)
> Market share: 0.8% (13th lowest)
> Average buyer age: 50 years old

The average age of an Infiniti traded in last month was 6.1 years. This was up from 5.7 years for the average Infiniti turned in at the same time last year, when it was ranked ninth oldest. Infiniti sales increased by 27.6% between October 2011 and October 2012. However, Infiniti vehicles are not that popular in the first place — the brand’s market share is just 0.8%. And Infiniti’s 46% customer retention, while far from the worst, is lower than the industry average retention of 49%. The Infiniti FX has the sixth best resale value of any car, according to Kelley Blue Book. The resale value after 36 months is 58% of the original value, while the resale value after 60 months is 44%.

Very nice good to hear, The FX is the best looking as well, never ages n love it
 
Yep, my daughter's well-kept '04 FX still gets mistaken for new by her peeps and with 62k on the clock runs like new. Exhaust system and now a front wheel bearing have been its only Issues. She has zero plans of parting with it and I'd bet she'll run it for another five years -- or more.
 
Very nice to hear indeed! I plan to run mine for another 5 years :smile (2): Gwa1225, have your daughter look us up if she need a hand in the future with her FX. There many of us here in Chicago!
 
I read this article and read this paragraph???

Some correlations are clear but hard to explain. Surprisingly, longer ownership appeared to be related to lower vehicle quality. The ratings of six of the nine vehicles on our list were well below the industry average in the JD Power 2012 Vehicle Dependability Survey. The study measures problems experienced during the past 12 months by original owners of three-year-old vehicles (2009 model-year). In fact, Chrysler, Dodge, Infiniti and Jaguar were at the very bottom of the list.
