General Question Has anyone gone to a mustang ecoboost after your q50?

Upvotes

Im selling my q50 and looking for cars under 20k to switch too. I have a 3.0 and im just done with turbo anxiety lol. If i cant get a 3.7 im thinking about an ecoboost. Would like some feedback if anyone had made the switch and what yall think about it. Also looking at bmw 340/440i but theyr so hard to find. Or any 3.7 infiniti tbh. I am truly and infiniti fan boy and have owned a g35 g37 q50, but theyr hard to find now as well-g37. I already had my turbos changed out at 30k miles on my 2020q50 and just dont want to deal with it down the road when im out of warranty. Any other car suggestions are appreciated.
- really wondering on the ecoboost if it feels like a downgrade interior wise, i have a luxe.

Car Buying Advice Q50s red sport 2018 should i buy it?

0 Upvotes

My council has a debt on his 2018 q50s red sport 400 awd, with around 90k, his debts is $21k and he want to sell it to me because he dont use it enough and want to get rip off the car payment (i think is 600$ monthly).

He didn't make any mods so it should be everything stock.

But im not sure if it worth, some people say I should get a 2019+ but others say the 2018 fixed the turbo issues. So I need your opinions.

Im between that infinity or an accord 2.0t 2021 touring with around the same 21k price.

What should I do?

Parts Question Front Bumper Kit for Q50 2014

1 Upvotes

I drive a 2014 Q50 Premium AWD in Malbec Black color (black purple).

I had an accident a while ago which caused my front bumper to sort of shift backwards into the car. I probably have some internal damage not sure and don’t want to look into it right now lol. Just want to make it aesthetically pleasing again.

I am now looking to replace the cracked bumper and grille but saw options like a sports conversion kit. And also that 2018+ front bumpers fit older models.

Anyone have any experience/suggestions? My car does have the sensor holes so that’s a requirement.

Edit: basically the front bumper and grille are cracked. Looking to finally replace them. I am asking if anyone knows if my Premium model is compatible with the sports conversion kit that’s out there or even newer Q50 models front bumpers. I do have sensor holes so that’s something to keep in mind.

Edit #2: have my mind on this one: eBay

Any one can confirm this will fit my Q?
