Fewer unneeded features could be a reason to look at used Infinitis in New Jersey

If you like the idea of driving a car from a luxury automaker, but don’t need a lot of the extra features that have been included in upcoming models, a used Infiniti in New Jersey might be worth the look.

One example of the addition of expensive extras includes the “Forest Air” system offered on the 2011 model of the Infiniti M-class, available this spring. The automaker argues that people will want to drive in a car that approximates the feel of the woods, adding “gentle breezes and optimizing humidity.”

The company didn’t issue any cost specifications on what the Forest Air experience adds to the price of a new Infiniti, but with current models topping out over $50,000, it’s likely to play a role in putting the car out of the range of more modest budgets.

For tens of thousands of dollars less a used Infiniti M45 in New Jersey “copes easily with moderate curves,” notes Cars.com reviewer Jim Flammang, adding that “the solid steering feel is somewhat on the heavy side, but it’s rather precise.”

It was newly re-designed that year, and includes a 335-horsepower V8 engine, according to the website.
