I have an Infiniti with about 176k miles. Things seldom break, but they're pricey when they do. (Replacing the right-side mirror was nearly $700.) The local dealer will do the standard oil change for around $50.

Hi so as this particular make is actually a off shoot of another make intros case i believe it's a Honda or a Nissan. so as to days cars are designed to last just 7 years. it matters not what make it is the same rules apply. so a 10 year old car is not going to reliable. add to this the original warranty period was usually 3 years then it is logical that a this car is not going to be reliable hence the low retail cost of secondhand cars is going to be low.

1st of all, buying any vehicle that's 10 years old will = it needing work just to be roadworthy; 2nd - the insurance will be higher than a non "luxury" vehicle; 3rd - look at the edmunds.com site for reviews of almost any vehicle
